the year is cldsine; with the cnrdlhnent standing at the century mark. One other campaign and numerous canvasses have been made l)ut the success attained has fallen short of what had been anticipated. FINANCE COMMITTER. S. EnuERT Merrill, Chairman. Ai the opening of school last fall the finance cumniittee met in joint session with the General Sec- retary and a budget was made out. It was decided that $950.00 was the minimum that could be figured as a year ' s e.xpenses. This, however, has proved insufficient and possibly $1,100.00 will be e.xpended on current e.xpenses for the year. Of this amount $650.00 is revenue from room rents and $200.00 from membership fees. Dur- ing the year a $1,500.00 building debt was paid oft and the Association is closing the year free from debt. 107

Just before the opening of the College in the fall a booklet was pre- pared containing some brief general information about things in general annind the campus, designed for distribution especially among the new students. This booklet included such information as might be of help to new men in getting settled, besides a blank form for the tilling in of the schedule of recitations, and was found to be useful. The members of the .Advertising committee are: Anderson, chairman; lioone. Holt. Coats. Mitclu-ll, Verner Clavton. THE r.ir.r.E study committee. HARor.n P). EvAX.s, Chairman. One can readily infer that the work of this committee, along with the Religious Meetings committee, comprises the best the Y. M. C. A. stands for, because their work covers the religious side of the Young Men ' s Christian Association. This year there have been six Bible classes organized at different times with an average attendance of thirty-five or approximately six members to a class.
