Religion and the University

To THE charge that the University of California is an ungodly institution, Professor Hilgard replies: "The university is not intended for religious instruction. If there is any fault to be found with the graduates on account of their religious beliefs, it must not be charged to the university, but to the homes from which the students come, all unprepared in religious knowledge. The place for religion is in the homes and in the lower schools. There is where the error lies. Parents pay their $16 school tax and then turn their children loose, at an immature age, without any religious training. There is the whole trouble, and not with the university."
