ADVERSE CRITICISM STARTS FEDERATION
Statement of Christian Church Member at Wichita Stimulated Action
Adverse criticism of the University by a member of the church was what started the Student Religious Federation and was the indirect cause of the religious number of the Daily Kansan.
On the same day last April that teh students in the Christian church were organizing their Disciples of Christ Union the daily papers carried an alleged statement of a member of the Christian church at Wichita in which moral conditions at the University were attacked.
At the suggestion of A. J. McAllister a committee was appointed to work in conjunction with student organizations in other churches. Within forty-eight hours the Student Religious Federation had been planned, a representative of the Daily Kansan had conferred with the committee, and tentative plans for the religious number had been made.
The Union organizers were stimulated to immediate action. They denied the statement, and discussed methods of publicity to get the report of their activity before the people.

City, Working with University Makes Study of Its Religious Condition
EIGHTEEN CHURCHES REPORT
Fill Out Blanks Giving Information About Organization, Equipment, Attendance and Finances.
After the report of the church committee of the Lawrence social survey is made, no town in the state will know more exactly its religious condition than Lawrence will. Every bit of information which possibly could be useful will be gathered concerning religious matters, and a plan is apparent that the doctoring of the spiritual ailments of the city will be a definitely specified procedure.
The committee which is working up the statistics is headed by the Reverend M. O. C. Brown. The other members are Dr. P. H. Browne, E. S. Weatherby, the Reverend Mr. Stanton Olinger and Mrs. E. M. Hopkins. The committee is also receiving assistance from a number of students in department of sociology at the University.
Eighteen churches in Lawrence recently received blanks which they are filling out and returning to the committee. On these blanks will be tabulated most of the information of the survey. The field covered will include; church organization and equipment; fi- tering facilities, including worship and pastoral activities, under which head the most popular types of sermons will be noted; attendance, including the percentage of men and women; Sunday School eculenture; women's, men's and young people's organizations; extension work which will deal with the charitable activities of the churches; relations with the University of Kansas, paying special attention to the work done there; and local labor and the interest of the students and faculty in church affairs; recreation, under which will be classed all the various social activities of the churches and religious organizations.
