Sir Sarrepalli Radhakrishnan, vice-President of India, will inaugurate the University's new Center for the Study of World Religions today, with a speech on "Fellowship of the Spirit." The Center was completed this fall.

Residents will probably be students engaged in doctoral or poet-doctoral programs, and will include visiting scholars and lecturers in various religions.
