The association rooms in the main building have been redecorated and fur- nish a very pleasant place for the regular de- votional meetings. The new hand book has been distributed to the men of the school. The effort has been to furnish one to every man who is in school this term. The association urges the men of the school to patronize the merchants and other business men of the city who have advertised in the hand book. Mr. John Eddy was the editor of the hand book. Mr. William Bird, as chairman, has an- nounced the work of the Bible study commit- tee. Several classes of Bible study have been formed. Young men who have not yet en- rolled in one of these classes should do so at once. The association held its first meeting on Oc- tober 3. President Parsons spoke. He gave a very encouraging talk to the large number of men who gathered to hear him. OntOctober 10 Dr. Rettger addressed the men. On October 17, Rev. Parker, of the First Baptist Church of the city, favored the men with a splendid talk. The regular devotional meetings are held each Tuesday afternoon at 3 :30 in the associa- tion rooms. The aim of these meetings is to exert a definite Christian influence upon the men of the school.
