About twelve years ago : the students realized the deed for' a . building and at that .time the move ment' began, whlqh resulted in the - erection of , the present handsome home of the c association. The early etruggles of the students in their ef , forts to secure , the building' Involved many ' instances of sacrifice. The .'story is told of one young man, who '. was working his way through col- . lege, who wore straw hat alL winter 1n his effort to' save as much as possible for tils subsorlptlon to the building fund. v , , , .7, THE ' BTJItMNO. . yH- ;. The building proper contains two stories and has an auditorium in the rear. On the left of the entrance Is a small cloak room and office and on the right the' stairway. Beyond this ' Is a reception hall hiving two rooms . on the right and two on the left, and beyond,1 these rooms la the entrance to the auditorium. On the second floor: Are four -rooms and the secre- tarya office. The building has been, front the first, the social centre of the campus and in. its roams are held practically all of the meetings of the committees that direct the various affairs of the students. "There is such I. , demand Sot tooma for .these' commlt ' tee meetings that the building hai already proven inadequate at times. Most ef the banquets Of the students have been held In the association . reading room. K is also the head quarters for al of the college publi cations and has become the news cen tre tof the campus. " During the winter Weather when tuderits "are compelled to seek. their t ; pastimes Indoors (be game room has been, full to overflowing and every af ternoon and night many And recre ation In playing the various games provided by the association. 'The value of the building in the so cial life of the students can hardly be estimated. ,Not only Is it used as a meeting place, ar Indicated above, but In connection with the work for new students it baa been the means of empbaatcing , the usefulness of the as- eoclatlonoin- a very practical way. - WOKS. FOR NEW STUDENTS. . . In the spring juid" summer special , committees write to the preparatory BOhools of the State and get as many names as possible. 'ef those who ex pect to enter the University in. the fall. Later In'the summer additional names are supplied by the 1 registrar f tho University and from ' this full list, the association sends letters te the prospective students, signed by . some officer, who offer the services of the association In any possible way. Special committeea are delegated - to meet all Incoming trains when the new students Arrive in the fall, who . take them 1 first . to the , association : , . . building, where : an - information tm reau is. established in-regard to regis tering, securing of rooms, mapping out of courses, etc. In addition to this, the reception committee sees that new men are introduced and in - other ways emphasises the welcome extended to them. If an old student . of the'tO's or early 0's were to go . ' there ett the opening of the college year hit would find a strong contrast to the -teceptlon accorded him as a freshman. The t derisive yell of , "fresh" 'on every side and the whist ling accompaniment that formerly greeted .new men have been supplant id bysomothlng better. V " . . In addition to the practical service personally rendered by the reception committee a hand-book la given the new students, which contains more detailed- Information about the Uni versity and in this branch of the as sociation work It not only serves the students, but Is a great help to the University and relieves . the college officers bf many details at the busiest time of the year. ,..-.

This is done ate time when the services rendered Dy"the ,gocUtron are fresh In the minds of ' ' the students and thus at the very be ginning an effort ! made to get the V- ew men Identified with the Young V ' Men's Christian Association.

I w of th classes ' in These meetings are usually held" on Sunday at. 13:10, and the classes in all Involve about twenty groups of young men who - meet In different rooms for discussion of lessons pre pared during the proceeding week. The time for these meetings is forty five -minutes: andthe discussion are informal. No special creed or .de nominational, influence prevails, but a devotional and sacred study Is made of the Bible Itself. The Classes are so . divided as ,to require . some work and thought 'on the part of the stu dent, and in that way; resul In real benefit r .-,; J''y.xU.'-: In preparing the lessons for the Bunday Bible study meetings the stu dents are ; urged to observe during the, week what is. known as the "morning ' Watch' which means the set tlag, aside' of few minutes each morning before breakfast for Bible study and meditation. This time' of day has heeh chosen aa the most suit able for the reason ,that the mind is clear and easily Impressed and may then be best , fortified against the Ir ritating things that may follow-in ob serving the harder duties bf the day. No ' doubt . many: deep and inspiring truths are fixed In the minds and characters of the students through this observance of the morning watch. COMMWITT WORK. In addition to the work among the students 'of the University the asso ciation haa a department which gives attention to the religions work of the village and neighboring country com munities by supplying leaders for prayer meetings, and teachers In Bun day schools. -This serves not only to give the community the advantage of having trained .men as religious lead ers, but it also serves to more closely Identify the University with the peo ple Ot the community and in that way perform a real social service. The earlier history of all colleges Is re plete with traditional feuds ' between the students and the people of the community where the, colleges are lo cated. The college' Toung Menw Christian Association has practically eliminated all of this bad feeling and established; where possible, co-operation Instead of distrust and enmity. . wMaMSMsawaas 'M t'i- f t. h V FOREIGN MISSION.

Ashe vllle These delegates are usually se lected with regard to 4her ability as leaders In association work, and at these summer conferences they have the opportunity of studying under the beat 'authorities, not only of this coun try, but of the world, and of learning of the. best, and most practical meth ods In all lines of association work. The- men thus selected are usually from the sophomore and junior Classes,, as It Is, of course, necessary to have delegates who , will return to participate In the work of the follow ing year. The University association', has .a general secretary, Mr. F. B. Rankin, who gives his entire time to the work. Mr. Rankin graduated In the class of 1901 and while In college was a mem ber of the University football team. The assistant general secretary, Mr. A. F. Jackson, has been most active and effective as a co-worker with Mr. Rankin, especially In the summer of 1101 -when; they canvassed the State together to secure funds to complete the building.- Mr. Jackson expects to go te the. foreign fleld aa a mission ary. :. -r, Some idea may be had of the im portance of the work by the business statement ef the association. It shows that a total of t87f.ST passed through the hands of tne general sec retary for the collngo year ending June ltOI. These figures . merely cover- the ordinary expenses of the association and are exclusive of any funds connected with the building. The -budget of the association pro vides for lectures, a University calen dar, Bible study literature,' mission study literature, a student hand book and a . University directory. President. Venable, of the University, says in regard , to the work: "I re gard such an organisation as essential not only here but in every educational institution. '. . ' The quiet unobtrusive living of the high beliefs which Re members profess la one- of the. greatest , forces' for good that I can think of. I . welcome .the presence ot tho association , here.
