Young Men's Christian Association Y'Tf '!!Tf ND still the same old cry of All out for Y.M. C.A. is heard on. ' ' ln' fx Sunday evenings. The attendance this year has been much fl - up better than that of last, yet there are still many who might 'T respond to the call, but whose faces are never seen in our midst. f f.a, 'TJ To the interrogatory why, we would say that we scarcely know a+ -Q' y the reason for their absence. Certainly it is not that any one among our numbers places a low estimate upon the value of our work, for we are sure every student recognizes the worth of the Association and the lofty purpose of its work. Its object has been stated time and time again, and the usual invitation to become a member has been extended to all. Added to this was the personal work of the members, yet there still exists on the part of some students that spirit of indifference which is found in almost every college. The officers, however, are endeavoring to overcome this indifference, and we are proud to say that they are waging a successful fight. May the victories of today be stepping stones to greater victories for tomorrow. One step upward is the securing of a room in which to hold the meetings. Hereto- fore they were held either in the Chapel or around the organ in the gallery. In the first case, the fellows were too far from the organ, and in the second, it was too inconvenient. Through the kindness of Dr. Fell, the old faculty room was placed at our disposal. This room has been nicely fitted up and is an ideal place for the members to assemble and in- dulge in those heart-to-heart talks which are so much enjoyed by those present. 4 113
