Harvard as "the most religious student body in America" is the new category in which the University is placed if one may judge from one of the replies to a recent questionnaire sent out to 1500 graduate students. The writer, a student in the Business School, is particularly impressed with "the kindly spirit of Harvard men", and its "sane understanding of truth".
His replies to 11 of the questions follow:
Your State?
Probable occupation?
Banker or teacher or preacher or something. How should I know?
Dept. of Study here? (Econ.) (Bus.)
Why did you choose it?
Because I had in it an opportunity to work my way. (I am not preparing for anything. I am living now.)
Church?
Heathen member of M. E. Church.
What relation has religion to your choice and proposed conduct of this occupation?
To me religion, philosophy and metaphysics are one and inseparable. They all originate in God and in the God-consciousness. Ontology comes first with me. An occupation is of but secondary importance. Life is the Big occupation of every individual.
Frequency of your attendance at religious services?
Once a month ordinarily.
Your estimate of religion in America today?
