Christian living, and Christian ideals in the student life. l'rol. li. S. llunu, then a student in the University, was the choice ol the nineteen charter members lor their tirst president. Under his leadership an ellort was made to till thc gap which exists in the curricula of all state universities lor spiritual development. llible classes were organized and a devotional meeting was arranged for each week. Since that time the work has been extended to cover various other functions. Systematic llible study still remains as a foundation for the other work and this year nearly half of the men in the University have been enrolled in these study courses. The devotional meetings which are now held on Friday evenings in lleady llall give the men a chance to hear many prominent speakers on live topics. Classes are conducted in the study ol lXlissions lor those interested in this line.
