Chapel Committee’s role includes
three main vital functions: al-
though it is required to fulfill the
students’ religious needs not an-
swered off campus, it must make
certain that the churches of the
community are welcoming the stu-
dent, Accepting her as a temporary
member of the congregation if she
wishes. A second function is help-
ing to lead the student toward a
wider un tanding of and respect
for religions other than her own.
Chapel Committee’s most impor-

tant responsibility lies in encour-
aging and providing for an intel-
lectual pursuit of religion com-
parable to the rigor of our aca-
demic work.

The.stress in Chapel Committee
“must be toward the _ religious
awareness and growth of the indi-
vidual student and the reconcilia-
tion of the theological, intellectual

_ and the practical worth of religion.

Chapel Committee is certainly not

an evangelizing body, except in the

bibcllnain
on 1s es-



Next year chapel! speakers
should again be. urged to present
their own views unhesitatingly,
welcoming critical discussion. It is
essential to encourage discussion
and thought by the students, them-
selves. #9

active interest in Chapel Commit-

Chapel Committee both repre-
sents and leads the religious inter-
est of the college. In its job .as
representative, I feel that Chapel
Committee should be cognizant of
every shade of opinion; in its role
as leader, Chapel Committee
should be alert to all religious ac-
tivity and movement and inform
the college of what is going on in
the religious world.

Of course, the main job is the
provision for the Sunday evening
chapel services, and there is room
here for change and development,
both in choice of speakers and in
the types of services. I think that
a tremendous improvement made
recently was that of the new em-
phasis on the Sunday discussion
following the ‘service. Not only
was the specific change from Tues-
day afternoon a practical one from
the point of view of student inter-
est, but the very attitude of flexi-
bility in response to changing
needs seemed to me most signifi-
cant.

I feel that the Chapel Committee
must be non-partisan in its repre-
sentation of the college as a whole.
On the other hand, I feel strongly
that it must encourage strong re-
ligious interests, or else be con-

thy. Devotion to one particular de-
nomination or creed does not ne-
cessitate the believer’s lack of tol-
eration or desire for isolation.
Surely it is in the clash of oppo-
site beliefs that each one’s
strength is proved, that progress
toward the truth is made.

| -T bélieve that I am well-equipped

by background—being a P. K., or
preacher’s kid—to handle the me-
chanical problems of Chapel Com-
mittee. But I feel also that I would
try to discover the college atti-
tudes, and would fulfill my own re-
quirement of non-partisanship in
representing the college as a
whole.

The role of the Chapel Commit-
tee is to present speakers and to
allow free discussion in order to
elarify special points for some stu-
dents and to help others find their
place with respect to God and man.
It is not a church substitute, but
is rather a preliminary clearing
ground for those in doubt and a
supplement for those with a firm
faith.

The Sunday evening chapels,

this year, have included a good
cross section of clergymen of vari-
ous faiths. However, I should like
to see the weekday program in-
clude more speakers from less-
known religions —the speaker on
Islam was a good start. A series
clarifying some of our modern
American denominations might be
interesting. More use of the stu-
dent panel discussion technique
would keep topics and arguments
at a student level of interest and
understanding. Most of all, I
should stress the non-sectarian
character of the Committee and
would urge wider participation.

As for the Committee itself, I
am toying with the idea of having
membership on a strictly volun-
tary rather than an elected Hall
Rep basis. In this way there would
be real interest on the Committee,
and more might be done with the
program.

The technical function of the
Bryn Mawr League is to coordi-
nate the various activities of the
social groups on campus. It pro-
vides the supervision for their con-
tinual performance and the mech-
anism for. inaugurating new
groups. In addition the League
has a Speakers Program which at-
tempts to bring qualified people to
Bryn Mawr to give us information
on the current experiments and
problems: in the broad areas of
health and welfare.

The importance of the League is
Jin its service to the “community,”
which assumes a double meaning
in this instance. The students who
participate in League activities are
indeed offering constructive and
much-needed service to the people
of the neighboring area, but at the
same time they are developing
their own attitude and enlarging
their insight and ability so as to
be better able to cope with the
world they will enter when they
leave college. |

In its. role as companion to the
other Big Five activities, the Lea-
gue is valuable, for it provides a
voice for a group of people who
might not otherwise be heard, and
this. additional attitude can be uti-
lized at Undergrad Council for the
formulation of campus policy.

In every way the League is a
service organization, and therein
its value lies. It does not need to
monopolize its participants’ time,
but it works in combination with
all the forces of college and the in-

dividual’s personality to channel -

energy and interest into construc-
tive giving.

My purpose in heading League
is to continue the fine work that
has been done; to insure and sta-
bilize the incorporation of new or-
ganizations; and to aid and de-
velop League’s interests and ac-
tivities.
