Opening of the second semester at the University of Michigan will witness the unfolding of a novel experiment in extra-curricular religious study on this campus—the combination of Jew and Christian in a weekly seminar on Judaism and Christianity.
Formation of a limited and selected group of Jewish and Christian men and women students is being completed under the joint leadership of Rabbi Adolph H. Fink, director of the B’nai B’rith Hillel Foundation, and Rev. Thomas L. Harris, director of Harris Hall, Episcopalian student guild, which will meet for twelve weeks at the Hillel Foundation. A simultaneous presentation of the development of Christianity and Judaism, approached from a historical standpoint, will be given by both men, while the closing meetings will be devoted to a comparison of the respective religious prayerbooks and discussions of the problems of establishing more than a mythical good-will between Jew and Gentile.
