I which are held status T ' P X 37. 522. 6. TA. The Young Men's Christian Association of the School of Agriculture takes a very prom- inent part in the activities of the School. It does not confine its attention to the strictly religious life of the student, but supports and aids all worthy activities of the school. The work of the association is divided among six committees, as follows: Service, Member- ship, Social, Devotional, Bible Study and Gospel Team. The service committee has its heaviest work during the opening week of school. It acts as a reception committee to the new students and assists them in various ways, such as finding rooming and boarding places and tak- ing care of their baggage. This committee tried an experiment last fall in that it acted as sales agent for second hand text books. The experiment was successful, and it is very likely that this work will be carried on in the future. The membership committee seeks to enlist the aid of all the men in the School, and to have them- apply for membership in order that they may take a greater interest in the work of the association. This committee was very successful during the past year in that through its efforts about sixty-five per cent of the men in the school became members. Besides the regular work of the social com- mittee in arranging for socials and entertain- ments, it instituted a new feature this year which is worthy of mention. After a success- ful season of football it was felt that the team should be shown in some way that its work was appreciated. This committee recom- mended and had charge of a banquet to which all the football men were invited as guests. This committee also managed a county car- nival at which enough funds were raised to purchase sweaters for the men who won their letters in football. The devotional committee is the Sunday afternoon meetings responsible for in Agricultural Hall. Speakers are secured from all walks of life, and the messages de- livered at these meetings have all been of a helpful and uplifting nature. The Bible study committee endeavors to interest the student in a systematic study of the Bible and in' church attendance. Some excellent work has been done this year in getting the men interested in Sunday school work. The Gospel team is a new committee added this year. Calls have come from high schools and Sunday schools for men who could and would be willing to present some phase of Christian work and possibly assist in teaching. It is the purpose of this committee to heed such calls. This states very briefly the nature of the work which the Y. M. C. A. is endeavoring to carry on and the place that it holds in this institution. It is an organization which in view of its work and democratic nature, is worthy of the support of every student and faculty member in the School, and it is hoped that its support in the future will be as loyal and hearty as it has been in the past.
