, -1 The following brief statement will give the alumni some conception of the  
i °` Q work that was accomplished by the Young Men’s Christian Association in the {
' . University last year. The general exodus of students the first of April practically  
_ . brought all activities to an end, so that only seven months were allowed for work. Q
3 Membership records for the previous year were—not available and membership . ¥
in the association was put on a new basis, that of service and Christian ideals. A
Two hundred and iifty-five members were enrolled.
I The rooms were freshly kalsomined and made as attractive as the funds
‘ would permit. The Edison was provided with 48 records. The local papers and
* a dozen county papers, together with twenty-five leading magazines furnished
i reading matter. One hundred volumes of light fiction was donated by the First
_: Methodist Church. Free stationery was provided. Chess and checkers helped
{ · to while away some vacant hours. The larger room was used by both glee clubs,
1 the Strollers, for class meetings and in other ways. 1 i
