Contributions Discussed For New Kansas Religion School
Paul N. Shivel, Director of Development for the school of religion, asked each denominational leader present at the meeting to send him the names of 10 individuals who have leadership qualities.
Kansas religious leaders and members of the Kansas University administration met yesterday in the Kansas Union to discuss obtaining contributions for a new Kansas School of Religion.
"Our campaign and the hope for the school of religion can only be as successful as our leadership is strong." Shivel continued.
CHANCELLOR WESCOE said he had a vital interest in the Kansas school of religion as well as the denominational colleges in Kansas. He said: "The record of higher education in Kansas points out that most students come to a state controlled school."
Dr. W. Clarke Wescoe, KU chancellor, said progress made in the Kansas school of religion is not only as an educational process but as a vital force at KU.
Shivel said these people should be interested in the active part of the campaign to replace Mvers Hall.
"Denominational colleges can't expand to meet enrollment. More students of a particular faith are enrolled at KU than any denominational school in our state."
Chancellor Wescoe said the university is presently laying plans for their own fund raising project to add new buildings to the campus.
He said the funds for the new school of religion would have to be raised within the next 18 months so that it would not interfere with the KU expansion program.
"IF WE ARE to give prominence
to such a facility it must equal those places we go to worship on Sunday.
"The program of the school will suffer unless it goes hand in hand with the University. The best must be provided if we are to achieve quality in all our programs," Wescoe said.
