CABINET part the Young Men's Christian Association has in the life of the stud- others. gif' fa ents is one which inspires men to give their very best for the service of The students coming to the School of Agriculture are of the type who feel the need of preparing themselves to so live that in their living they may make the lives of others with whom they come in contact more enjoyable and more fruitful. With the increased enrollment in the school the Y. M. C. A. has been given an opportunity to be of greater service to the students and to their communi- ties than it has for some years past. With this greater opportunity has also come a greater responsibility, a greater duty to perform. In the performing of this duty the Y. M. C. A. has endeavored to carry out a program of spiritual training that will better Ht the student to assume positions of trust and responsibility in later life. The weekly fellowship meetings of the year with their high attendance record and the large regular attendance at the Sunday morning Song Services have shown a keen and deep interest on the part of students in the finer things in life and in the appreciation of the true value of Christian living. In connection with these meetings there are social activities for the purpose of helping the students to get acquainted with one another and to help develop that true school spirit so characteristic of our School of Agriculture.

THE BOYS' DORMITORY SELF -GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION T government of the students in the dormitories The ofhcers of this organiz - ation consist of a president, a vice-president, a secretary, a head monitor from each building, and the fioor monitors. All these are elected by the students at the beginning of each school term. These officers constitute the Executive Com- mittee. Previous to this time faculty members were monitors. This did not prove satisfactory and a change was deemed advisable. 15?-3,5-Q HIS association was established in 1916 for the purpose of developing self- ' lf' . . . . . ' , The present system has proven successful because it is more democratic. The boys are largely responsible for their own welfare and behavior. A helpful, friendly feeling has sprung up among the boys, and a spirit of leadership and co-operation has been developed. Once every school year faculty members and students of the school are invited to an Open House at each dormitory. All the rooms are open for inspection. The guests visit each room, talk with the boys, and thus gain a better idea of dormitory life. This organization has created among the boys living in the dormitories many lasting friendships. It has also proven its value by maintaining quiet study hours, thus giving the boys an opportunity to do their best work. The 19:26 association extends sincere wishes for continued successful self-govern- ment in the dormitories. -fl. H., R. W., C. C. Page One Hundred Fifteen t - J
