Director of Extension Division The service of the Extension Division is invaluable in carrying the message of fruits of education to those who do not have the opportunity to do residence work. Director Nelson has spared no effort in his attempt to develop and expand this department. Through its three divisions Social Service, Correspond- ence Instruction, Lectures and Enetertainments, the in- fluence of the Y has been carried to thousands of students and citizens of the intermountain country.
