(Jewish Daily Bulletin)
A better understanding meeting was held here under the auspices of the local Methodist congregation.
The School of Religion of Iowa State University was represented at the meeting by the Rev. Henry G. Takkenberg, who instructs Catholic students, Dr. Maurice H. Farbridge, Jewish professor, and the Rev. Charles H. Hawley, instructor of Protestant students. In their addresses the three professors stressed the need for more religious education.
Dr. W. L. Ewing, pastor of St. Paul’s church, presided. Jews, Catholics and Protestants attended the meeting.
The Iowa-School of Religion was first conceived in 1925 in Iowa City. It received its beginning with an endowment by the Rockefeller Foundation the following year. It is supported, not by the state, but by the foundation funds and the various religious groups. It is directed by Dr. Lampe, working under a board of trustees of fifteen prominent men of the states of various religious creeds. It is non-sectarian and has as its objective the furtherance of religius education.
