The 1969 Biennial College Meeting

This year's Biennial College Meeting (August 28, 29, 30) conveyed a feeling of involvement throughout. It was timely and dynamic—in fulfillment of its relevant theme: Building in a Revolutionary Period. The emphasis was on participation—on the involvement of individuals and college organizations with work! problems. A Student Advisory Committee of fifteen played an important part in making recommendations for the agenda. The students, representing a cross section of universities, helped plan the program, which included a number of innovations for 1969.

One new feature was 160 thirty-student seminars. Each seminar was moderated by a student and had a nonparticipating advisor. These two-hour seminars were held on Friday afternoon at Boston University, Northeastern University, Symphony Hall, and in The Mother Church buildings. The question under consideration for the first hour was: "What can I as an individual Christian Scientist do to heal the problems of drugs, tobacco, alcohol, and immorality?" Several student papers formed a beginning focus for the spontaneous reports, questions, and sharing of related experiences then given by individuals.

The basic question for the second hour was: "What can the individual Christian Scientist do to bring healing to campus tensions and other campus issues?" The seminars, a vital part of the meeting, underlined finding the spiritual answers, rather than rehearsing the controversial issues themselves.
