REED COLLEGE ADUQUAJ + 1915 lbw SELF-SUPPORT VERY worthy student is helpt who has shown a markt capacity for helping himself? From the beginning of its existence the college has had by far the greater part of its work done by students. Such work as the care of equipment, clerical work, dining-hall and laundry servis and bookstore man- agement is handled in this way. Twenty-hve cents per hour is paid for unskild labor and thirty-three and a third cents per hour for skild labor. During the year 1913-1914 seventy per cent of the men students receivd income from work done for the college. The administration has also been activ in securing varius suitable positions for students during vaca- tions and after graduation. Besides these opportunities for self-help there ar at present in the hands of the college authorities eight loan-funds for the assistance of worthy students establisht by Mrs. Alice Joyce Houston, Mr. R. A. Booth, Dr. Thomas Lamb Eliot, Mr. Rich- ard Montague, Mr. C. Henri Labbe, Mrsr Elsie Dolph, Mr. Julius Meier, and Mr. W. B. and Mrs. Clara A. Fecheimer. A These funds ar of varying sizes and portions of them ar lent, 0n the judgment of the administration, to students. Up to the present time twenty-eight students hav receivd aid in this way. Many of the funds yield an annual amount to the college, and ar consequently cumulativ, each loan being eventually re- paid to the college to be used again. RELIGIUS LIFE EED COLLEGE is underiominational. The wil R containing the endowment provides that the insti- $ tition nforever be and remain free from sectarian inhuence, regulation or control, permitting those who may seek its benefits to affiliate with such religius societies as their conscience may dictate? N0 sectarian considerations enter into the election of trustees or faculty, or the admission of students. There at daily religius servises at the college, the Chapel servis at eight-forty six mornings a week and the vesper servis at four olclock Sunday afternoons. Attendance at neither of these servises is compulsory for students, and the vesper servis is open to the public. The chapel servis consists of music, both instrumental and vocal, and an address Of five or ten minutes. The vesper servis is of the same general nature. Practically all the faculty, and a large number of people from outside the college community take part in conducting these servises. During the current year the college Christian Association has conducted Bible-study classes and arranged for talks to be given on religius subjects.

mm REED COLLEGE ANNUAL -z- 1915 et ings and winnoings hav been conducted, in all seriusness, with perhaps a lighter tuch than you imagin. They sho a Vital and living interest in things intellectual, and at the least, serv to supplant the eternal round of nhe said;anleshe saidl, gabble which often Ends such redy acceptance as a panacea for all conversational difficulties. The participants in these discussions hav not necessarily expected to set the world on fire immediately by the importance of their contribution to the sum total of human knoledge. They have gaind, on the other hand, some ability in organizing and presenting their ideas, which is apt to stand them in good sted when they come to react 0n the real situations of life. And after all, the dormitory in its three brief years has maintaind a proper balance between the purely human values and the work interests, between the social attractions and serius effort. It has had a happy admixture of the spice and toil 0' life, and has been, withal, a happy, humorus, interesting place to liV.
