Hake (Seneba If there is any place on the western hemisphere that every college man and woman ought to visit, that place is Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Those who have had the privilege of attending either a young women’s or a young men’s conference there know only too well that no words are able to describe the wonderful beauty of the spot itself or the marvelous spiritual atmosphere that pervades it. When you embark at Williams Bay after ten days at the camp, you feel as if you are being thrust into a new and strange world. The rush and hurry of the world, the mad trampling of the better things of life under foot in order to obtain preference are in direct contrast to the spirit of thorough Christianity which one has enjoyed at camp. Every side of a person’s nature is well provided for by the many activities of the camp life. At six in the morning rising bell rings. After personal devotion a rush is made for the dining hall. Wholesome food and as much of it as you want is the order of the dining rooms. The morning is taken up by classes. After dinner the entire time is given over to sports. Tennis, rowing, baseball, hiking, golf and canoeing arc only a few of the forms of recreation offered The evening is to some extent a resumption of the work of the forenoon. At ten o’clock, taps, and then eight hours of solid comfort.

all of the energies of the faculty and student body were expended in the union effort. The town and college will long reap the benefits of the meeting. The Associations have been glad to have in our midst during the year two Chinese students, BeVong and BeDi Lee. A collection from the faculty, student body and friends was taken up to assist in their support. The young ladies have readily taken up with American ideas and ideals and Wesleyan is fortunate indeed to have a part in their religious training. The work of biblc study and mission study has been held under the auspices of the First Methodist church. The college classes meet with the regular church Sunday school for the opening exercises each Sunday, then retire to the basement of the church, which has been reserved entirely for their accommodation. Different courses of study arc offered and the work taken up is optional with the different classes. The student volunteer hand is now composed of five members. They meet one hour each week and take up study along the lines of their life’s work. Different members of the faculty and returned missionaries have brought before the volunteers ideas of the actual work on the field. The social phase of the Association work has been more attractive than ever before. The opening of the school year witnessed the annual student mixer in the dining hall of the young ladies’ dormitory. Previous to this, however, the young ladies who were just entering school had been entertained at a Pullman party in Harlan hall, and the men were entertained at the city Y. M. C. A. These get-together gatherings have an important place in the experiences of the new students, and a spirit of Christian fellowship pervades the campus after they have been enjoyed. Other functions have been held during the year by the cabinets. The extension work of the associations, although limited by the size of the college town, has been quite extensive. The main work of the men along this line has been the gospel team work under the able direction of Professor Boyer of the mathematics department. Several of the men of the college have had an active part in Sunday schools in the capacity of teachers, and one or two others have acted as deputy scout masters under the local scout chief. Among the young ladies the extension work has taken on the form of preparing gifts for children in the cities. A class in social service has been conducted during the year by a number of the ladies with the expectation of forming extension clubs in their home communities during the summer vacation. Although much good has been accomplished during the year a much better year of service is looked forward to. It is the hope and prayer of the cabinets that still greater things are in store for them in the way of spiritual blessings.
