 RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES AT FLORIDA
 You will receive information during Orientation Week about religion, an
important phase of campus life. The University of Florida through the De-
partment of Religion operates an academic program which gives the student an
opportunity to become better informed concerning religion in its relation to hu-
man life and conduct, and which deepens an appreciation of the Judeo-Christian
tradition and an understanding of other religions of the world.
 The Student Religious Association, in conjunction with the Secretary of
Religious Affairs, a member of the Student Body President's Cabinet, is an
organization which has the following objectives: 1) to stimulate and extend
the work of religion at the University; 2) to foster interdenominational and
interfaith cooperation wherever necessary, desirable, and possible; and 3) to
serve as a correlating agency to promote projects within the sphere of common
religious interests on the University campus. All members of the student body
are considered to be members of the SRA. Program activities are planned
and operated by committies of students. These activities include the sponsor-
ship of Religion-In-Life Week, lectures, discussion groups, social activities,
social service, and special religious occasions.
 A number of church groups maintain student religious centers on or adjacent
to the campus: Baptist Student Union, Canterbury House (Episcopal), Christ-
ian Science Organization, Crane Hall (Catholic), Hillel Foundation (Hebrew),
Lutheran Student Association, Society of Friends (Quakers), Unitarian Fel-
lowship, Wesley Foundation (Methodist), and Westminster Fellowship (Presby-
terian). In a sense, every church in Gainesville is a "student church" and
seeks to serve the University. Cordial invitations are extended to all students
to attend worship and communion services, vespers, receptions, open houses,
suppers, and other programs throughout the year. The Student Pastors and
the staff of the Department of Religion, which is located in Rooms 205-7 of
the Florida Union are constantly available for consultations.
 On Wednesday night, September 16, 1953, each student will have the oppor-
tunity to spend the evening at the Student Religious Center of his choice. Each
group will offer a program of social activities, recreation, information, and
refreshments.
