'v.. ,, -T - , I'no.o by Holimluy. J. W. Gore, Chairman Advisory Committee. held on Tuesday and Thursday nights of each week. - Our policy during the past year has been to make the meetings as inter esting as possible by getting the best speakers we could . obtain, also to use students as leaders in as many meeting's as was practicable. The Tuesday night meetings have been addressed, sometimes by stu dents, but principally' by members of 'the faculty, ' -and outside speakers whenewr we were able to obtain them. One Tuesday liigdit in each month has been given up to the missionary com jmiltec, which has arranged some very : interesting and instructive programs. The Thursday night meetings have been led entirely by students and have been varied to suit conditions. They have, however, been made very devo tional throughout, and have proved a strong, factor in the Association's spiritual life. Among those who have addressed the Association the past year are: Drs. jVenable, Howe, Smith, Battle, Mills, 'Henderson, and Herty; Profs. Gra !h nn, Gore, Lalta, Toy, and Williams; I Bishop Str.mge of Wilmington, N. C, il)r. Latlanime of Toronto, Canada, Mr Daniels oi Charlotte, N. C, Dr. A. L. -Phillips of Richmond, Va., and the General Secretary, Mr. Rankin. The attendance this year has been larg-er than last year, but the average attendance cannot be be given through negligence on' the part of the chair man in keeping- a record. We recommend that -the meetings be arranged as far in advance as possible, and subjects assigned the speakers on definite lines. The Thursday night meetings have been growing, and we would like to see them continue to increase as the v measure in a larye degree thespiritua strength of the Association. This can only be done by personal effort and prayer. Tin so meetings should be on the heart of every true Association man. W. S. IIuntkk, Chairman. Publications. For the past year the Y. M. C. A. pencil-pushers have had under their care the editing of the students' handbook, the College directory, the University calendar, the Bible study prospectus, and various folders that the: Association requested published. Early in Sepl ember a copy of the hand-book was mailed to every pros pective student. Through this me dium it was possible to la- before new men the purpose and position in the University of the Association, and at the same time to give them a general idea of University life. It may safely' be said that the. hand book is the most helpful publication of the Association. When registration was complete the Association men turned. to the task of g-ctting out the annual College direc tory. So, early in the fall a copy of a neat little book containing the name and residence of each inembef of the faculty', and the' name, class, and col lege residence of each student, "was given to each, member of the Univer sity'. In the bands of a good business manager, the directory was enabled to pay for itself through its advertise ments. '. Just before the Christmas holidays 750 copies of the University souvenir calendars were received, practically all of which have been sold at 50 cents each. Despite the fact that the cal endars ere delayed in slapping1, and that a number of them were more or less damaged the Association succeed ed in clearing something like $25 on the undertaking-. In addition to the above several fold ers have been issued laying- before the students the claims of systematic mis sion and Bible study. The chief criticism, and one com mon to all three publications, is that they were too late in coming out. To (Continued on pue 7. ) THE VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT. THREE STUDENTS TO ENTER FOREIGN SERVICE The Band Organized in Response To Appeal From Dr. La Fl amine. During- the recent visit of Mr II. F. LaFlamme to the University, a Vol unteer Band was organized among-the students. Although there have been about twenty students at the Univer sity (including those here now and those now in preparation elsewhere) , to purpose to become foreign mission aries, there have been only two or ' three here at any one time who had 'signed the Volunteer Declaration, and 'so far as we know, tbey were not or ganized into a Volunteer Band. Very ' active ' volunteer work,, however, was I ,-.n--;,l not w..-i -i 1 1 v iiKniit 1 SiOO w Itr Thomas Hume,, and .Messrs! Lacy Lit tle and George Worth. The latter were then .students at the Uni- iversitv and are now missionaries in China. The basis of membership is the signing- of the Volunteer Declaration which reads thus: "It is my- purpose, if God permit, to become a foreign missionary." While Mr. LaFlamme was here Messrs. J. M. Porter and N. P. Liles, both oi whom have been comparing for some time .the oppor tunities for service at home and abroad with service abroad in view, signed the declaration. As Mr. A. F, Jackson has been a Student Volunteer for some time, the three were org ized into a Volunteer Band on Tues- dav night. Feb. V). Several other students are considering Foreign Mis sions as their life-work, and it is ex pected that the band will double', in number before commencement. The band was organized as an in Men's Christian Association. The present membership hopes that the band will be self-perpetuating, and that it mav be an active organization in the student body until the evangel ization of the world is accomplished. Work for New Students. I have the honor to report for the committee on work for new students it . ' 4 ' it ' that we nave clone our best to make the new met! feel that the Y. M. C. A, is an essential factor in college life, while gfiving them all the. services we could. . , ... '1 he names of men who were coming to the University for their first col lege work this year were secured from the office of the registrar and from any one else who knew of such a one. ... A letter was written to each one during-the summer assurinir him of the desire of the Y. M. C. A. to be of all possible service to him and setting forth the ideals of the Association . In this way the new men were made have a sort of home feeling when thev arrived at the depot. There they found to meet them members of the Association ready to he of any service possible. They were invited to make our building' head- piarters until settled definitely. The welcome they were accorded in those first days has' served to show the sympathetic attitudeol the Association toward them and their work. It makes them feel that it is here for the service it can give. We had men at the building- and in the Alumni to help the fellows in ar ranging their schedules and to give any information they wanted. In this way, practically all the new men were reached by the Association in their first days with us. xWe commend this department of our work as being- one of the important things in the life of the ;Association. It is one of our most effective ways of serving- the University and its students, and thus fulfilling- the law of our life. It is therefore a development to be work ed over and perfected. Some have sug-gested that it might be a better plan to incorporate a letter of welcome such as the individual members of the committee wrote last summer, in the hand-book, that is sent out in the sum mer to the new men. I think that such a letter, should be embodied in the hand-book, even if the individual let ter is written. The element of person al friendship would come in the first days of helping the men, when they have gotten here. - K, M'cK. Ilighsmith. - 'X' NX . ' " ' ' a, . '. ' ' ' '.-- : Photo by Holimluy. Vice-President E. 0. Herring. A Great Movement. The Young- Men's Christian Associa tion numbers more than 700,000 mem bers, of whom 200,000 are college stu dents. It is, therefore, the greatest inter-collegiate org-anizatiou in the world. Great movements spring- only from great causes. The Young- Men's Christian Association is the outward ami visible sign of an inward and spiritual need. It seeks by associated effort to enable college men to keep faith with their ideals. It stands for social service in the widest' sense. It exalts the Bible as the standard of conduct and character. It is the an swer of the colleg-e world to Cain's Question, "Am I my brothers keeper?" It furnishes the long- looked for meet-. ing--g-round between the different de nominations. It has put an end to narrow sectarianism anions college students. It emphasizes the positive rather than the neg-ative, and lias de veloped a strong-, resourceful, and sympathetic ideal of character that has nothing in common with the namby pamby, goody-goody, Miss Nancy type. C. Au'noxso Smith. Music Committee. The music committee have proposed to improve the music by trying- to get more men interested in singing- and byr practice. They have through the contribution of a few members secured a limited number of the Association Hymn books which have proved pleas antly profitable as they contain music written especially for male voices. There is one thing lacking- a piano for the new building-. Many have realized this fact in silence. Let us beg- each and every friend of the Association and of the University to do all that is. in his power to supply this need. "A friend in need is a inend indeed." We hope are a friend indeed. f).
