Religious Census of the Freshman Class.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

A religious census has been taken of the class of '95, under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. The members of the class were asked to sign, at the time of their registering, slips stating the religious denomination toward which they inclined or of which they were members. The two hundred and thirty-four slips which were filled out, are divided as follows: Protestant Episcopal, seventy-two; Unitarian, sixty-two; Congregationalist, forty-two; Baptist, fifteen; Presbyterian, seven; Methodist Episcopal seven; Universalist, five; Jewish, four; Roman Catholic, three; Lutheran, two; Friends, one; Mohammedan, one; "Christian," one. Twelve men were neither members of any denomination nor inclined to favor any one in particular.

These statistics can of course show only the general direction of the religious belief. They are not a statement of the division of the whole class as only two hundred and thirty-four men out of the three hundred and seventy who registered, signed these slips.
