Sljp GIljrtBttan AssnriatimtB ROM our colleges come a great part of the leaders in whose hands will be the task of shaping the destiny of the world. In order that they may fulfill their task justly in the sight of God and man they must have opportunities for elavating high ideals. At Susquehanna these opportunities are offered the students through the christian Associations, their aim being to lead students to a true knowledge of God through Jesus Christ; to lead them into membership and serv- cie in the Christian Church ; and to further their growth in Christian charact- er, especially through the study of the Bible, thereby unitingtheir efforts with all the other Christians to make the will of Christ effective in human society, and to bring the kingdom of God upon the earth. Our branch of the Y. M. C. A. in the past year has been endeavoring to ful- fill this mission. Early in the Fall term a membership campaign was conduct- ed, resulting in a hundred per cent membership. Very able speakers were en- gaged for the regular weekly meetings Prayer meetings were held regularly in the different buildings. A splendid Lyceum Course was given during the Winter term. The main attraction being Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis. Two delegates were sent to the Students Volunteer Convention, held at Des Mo- ines, Iowa. The Y. M. C. A. has made wonderful strides forward this year for God ' s cause and a greater Susquehanna. The Y. W. C. A. has been very busy also during this year Much inspira- tion has been gained from the visits of the field workers. Two delegates were sent to the Eaglesmere Conference, and the Association is planning to send a larger delegation next Spring term. A study class was conducted during the Winter term. Some excellent speakers were with us among whom was Dr. Aberly from our Indian Mission field. The year has been most profit- able and gives great promises of the future. These two great factors at dear old Susquehanna have merged into one this year as never before. They are working side by side, for the one and only great cause cleaner womanhood and manhood . Truly God has bless- ed us during the past year, and it is our prayer that His guidance will be with us in our efforts. Many good seeds of good have been sown here, and when we have passed beyond the sheltering walls of our Alma Mater, may we say We have received some benefits enabling us to press on for higher things.
