Chicago, Oct. S.-An attempt to get acquainted with the modern youth-to learn his religious im- pulses-will be undertaken by a group of divinity students of the University of Chicago. This study will be conducted under the national council of religion in higher educa- ton which is. directing similar re- searches at Harvard, Yale and Co., lumbia universities.
 The divinity students will live with the other students, mingle with them on the campus attend foot ball games, participate in the cheer ing, so to fraternity dances, attend rushing" parties and sit around the fire at night.
 We feel" said Professor J. M. Artman, of the divinity school, that too few persons understand the un- dergraduate and his life. It is es- sential, of course. that instructors who are to talk to him about re- ligion must knows what is going on in his mind. Anyway, if we are to know anything at all about the modern youth we must get acquaint- ed with him."
