It was observed that while each of the student religious bodies was working alone in its own way more or less effectively, there was no united attempt among them at doing anything for University life in general. Consequently, a number of representatives from these organizations were not few weeks ago that these groups could combine their efforts along certain definite lines in such a way as to supplement the work already being done by each group, and thus secure greater efficiency in their efforts.

The Federation is yet quite young, not a month old. Hence it cannot be expected to have accomplished much, and its purpose in this religious edition of the Daily Kansan so early in history is especially due to the urgency to such religious work as has been done by faculty members, students, and student religious societies the past year. We hope that this may be an incentive to all, individually and collectively, toward a greater and more effective work the coming year. We are open to anyone willing to work within and without the University, and (from every part of the State). We solicit your advice and active cooperation.
