Variety Of By Roy Williams Staff Writer Carolina's first RE Week was held in November 1935. Dr. Henry Crane, who spoke on the theme "What Do You Get Out of Religion?", was described as the most powerful speaker ever to come to the University campus. Nightly meetings were held in Drayton Hall with special features for each night. For example, there was a Church Youth Night, Foot ball Players Night, Fraternity and Sorority Night and a Columbia College Night. Probably the largest group of internationally known religious speakers ever gathered together in this state led RE Week in 1939. It was sponsored by the University Christian Institute, which was composed of national leaders in student work appointed and backed by the Federal Council of Churches, the Council of Church Boards of Education, Student Volunteer Movement, and the Na tional "Y." Two of the leaders, Dr. Jesse M. Bader, national di rector of the mission, and Miss Muriel Lester, social worker from London, England, spoke on "Deep ening Spiritual Life."

New Program In '41 RE Week, as we know it today, was first held in 1941. In the past there had been one main address per day with perhaps personal in terviews afterwards. However, in '41 the convocations began to be followed by discussions and sem inars in the fraternity, sorority, and tenement groups. . The Gamecock of that week boasted of the attendance stating that more than 60 per cent of the student body attended at least one meeting. The theme was typical of the times, "Foundations of Faith For A Time of Crisis." Sherwood Eddy, secretary for Asia in the International YMCA, and the main speaker in 1945, was the author of 30 volumes on inter national economic, social, and religious questions and had come into intimate contact with Gandhi, Nehru, and Chiang Kai-shek. Mr. Eddy spoke on "The Greatest Ad venture In The World." Big Crowd in '47 In 1947 the theme, "Something to Live For," drew the largest crowd of any previous week in Carolina's history.

Included in the program were daily marriage seminars con ducted by Rev. Claude Evans of Columbia. In 1953 a wide variety of topics was discussed ranging from dis cussions on mental health to values of morality. The main theme, however, was "Building on the Greatness of God."

Business Magazine The Placement Bureau still has on hand a limited number of copies of Career 1955. Any student who is interested may call at the office and pick up a free copy while they last. Career is a handy reference so matter what the topic or the occupation of the principal speaker, whether he be a military, political, scientific or churchman, the purpose is always the same. The program each year is de signed to clarify some theme in which the students are interested. But RE Week goes further than that, it also tries to center the thoughts of the campus on religion as an integral part of the student's life upon which he may build the Foundations of a new life. 1330 MAIN ST.
