Résumé:This study explores the differences between active Newman Club members and other Catholic students in non-Catholic colleges with regard to reasons for selecting such a college, academic and vocational aspirations, involvement in campus life, attitudes toward dating and intermarriage, reactions upon misrepresentations of Catholicism, adherence (to religious practices, and maintenance or change of religious attitudes. Active Newman Club members had more previous Catholic schooling; they lived up more to Catholic expectations in all respect but where significantly different from their counterpart only with regard to reasons for studying at a non-Catholic college, additional devotions, and positive changed in religious interests. On the whole, the study allows to discern a tendency toward adaptation to general American middle-class patterns.
