Morgantown December reports that at West Virginia University idle and religious education influence both students and faculty. Dr Robert A Armstrong, 30 year chaplain and English professor, notes convocation services feature scripture, prayer, sacred music, and sermons.

During last year 115 students enrolled in Bible history courses and weekly convocations dismiss classes for an hour. The university choir presents sacred music at most convocations and has performed Elijah in two parts at Easter. Haymonds ad on Victor Records page appears at end.
