A study of the attitudes of college seniors toward the church and toward some church-related questions

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

Young people who are on the verge of maturity today have come of age during a period of rapid social change. The impact of such changes on personal values and attitudes raises the question as to whether these young people have lost formerly accepted social values, have retained them in part or whether they are in the process of discovering new ones... The purpose of this study is to analyze some prevailing attitudes toward the Church and some of its activities among college students. This analysis of attitudes toward the Church is part of a larger undertaking of the Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station which is studying country life trends in Virginia from 1900-1950. The Church section of the large study carries forward a bulletin published in 1929
