"More Religious" \ New York--College students of to- day have a far less cynical and mat terialistic attitude toward religion than had the students of 25 years ago and are increasingly interested in a social religion mainly concerned with the "reconstruction of a society in which life may be given its fullest opportunity," according to Chaplain Raymond C. Knox, who recently com- pleted -a quarter of a century of ser- vice at Columbia University. Asserting that students are secck- ing a "personal faith" and are turn- ing far less to a dogmatic and insti- tutional Christianity, Chaplain Knox said that "those with the better minds are endeavoring to acquire a reason- able view of the purpose of life in- dividually and socially," When the first. course in Bible study was offered about 20 years ago, he said, many objections were raised, since the students felt that it was not quite "virile or manly to be in- terested in such subjects," Today the attitude is entirely changed, in Dr. 'dean, of 'women at 'Victoria .Collego, quis, Ruby, Reward and Garnet.
