“Unitarianism is part of a broad movement known as religious liberalism,” the Rev. Howard Matson, adviser for the newly formed Unitarian club on campus, said yesterday in the seventh council of religion lecture of the semester.
"That social service in America is so closely related to Unitarianism is not an accident, for the principle of brotherhood of man is central to Unitarian faith. The founder of modem social service, Joseph Tuck-erman, was a Unitarian, and Horace Mann, the great advocate of universal education, was also of this faith,’’ he said.
ORIGINS OF SECT The word “Unitarianism’’ was fir*t used in the 16th century in Transylvania, when a number of religious bodies pledged not to persecute one another, and were known as the “united’’ or “Unitarian,” the Rev. Mr. Matson said.

Mr. Matson pointed out. “When the pil-“With a reduction in the price j grims left Holland to sail across the of the dance bid and the securing : ocean and settle in the new’ lands,
