UNIVERSITY COURSES
FITTED TO NEEDS OF
THEOLOGY STUDENTS
Religious Schools Require
University Training As
• Pre-Requisite
Answers to inquiries sent out by
the University religious and moral
activities committee to leading
schools. and seminaries of theology
in this country, asking suggestions
for subjects which would be practioal
to offer in a pre-theological course,
show that these schools are eager
that students preparing themselves
for Christian service be fitted with a
knowledge of general subjects before
taking up the more technical branch
es.
The branches emphasized in prac
tically every case were English, in
, eluding rhetoric, literature, and oral
English, history, Greek, philosophy,
1 economics, sociology, and psychology,
i Other subjects, which were mention
„ ed in a few instances were evolution,
, physical science, Latin, government,
public speaking, logic, pedagogy,
.» French or German, biology, Hebrew,
* science, and ethics. All of the courses
. mentioned are gi#en thoroughly in
the University with the exception of
Hebrew.
Credit Given For Technical Work
Some of the schools expressed the
desire that students leave most of
their technical work to he taken in
the school of theology. However,
many of them have arranged to give
• credit towards graduation for these
, subjects if they have been taken
while the student was in University.
“The.purpose of making this invest
igation,” said Librarian M. H. Doug
lass, chairman of the religious and
moral activities committee, yester
day, “was to find out what the theo
logical schools wanted in the studeqts
coming from the universities, and to
know what the University should do
p to fulfill these requirements, in case
they were found lacking.”
Members of the religious and moral
activities committee, in addition to
Mr. Douglass, are: E. E. DeCou, E.
S. Conklin, Dean Elizabeth Fox, A.
R. Sweetser, Miss Mabel Louise Cum
mings, and Albert Lukken.

VEATCH TAKES RIVER BATH
Falls Into Siuslaw While Fishing
Sunday Morning
“A nice early morning bath that
Roy Veatch took, quite unintention
ally, in the icy waters of the Siuslaw
was about the most exciting thing
that happened on our trip,” said Nor
ton Winnard, a University sophomore,
in telling of the fishing trip above
Swiss home ‘they enjoyed last week
end. Roy Veatch, also a University
student, had just picked out a nice
place in the river where he was sure
he could haul out innumerable fat
and juicy fish, so he said, when his
feet slipped out from under him and
down he went.
Nevertheless, the trip, which began
early Saturday morning and ended
late Sunday evening, was very suc
cessful, according to Mr. Winnard,
and they brought home some quite
life-sized fish. “Now don’t forget to
mention that we lost our biggest fish,
a reg’lar whopper,” he cautioned.
