No attempt at anything and Mgh. The mornings began with some ferences as to methods and needs or ristian work in college. This was owed by Bible classes, one designed each the devotional use of the Bible soiritual growth, and the other its ctical use in dealing with men and eavoring to lead them into Christ s bipleship. After these came one or f earnest, direct addresses, designed roduce result in resolution and char r. The afternoon was free for recre n or quiet study and fellowship. In twilicht as the sun slipped down ind the hills and flung their length- htf shadows across the lake, the men tiered on the grass on the water side er the trees for a meeting to con r the great fields for life's opportu- .

HE PERMANENT STUDENT CONFERENCE FUND Ique Method by which many Strong bstitutions are Sending Delegations the Southern Conferences. What is the Fund ? At the re- it North Carolina Student Con- ence it was decided to establish Permanent Conference Fund at kke Forest College, Guilford Col- e. The A. & M. Collee-e of N. C. . Inity College, Trinity Park Pre- atory School, Davidson College, University of North Carolina, Clemson College of South Car- Since then three institutions labama and one in South Car- ha have decided to do the same Sng. in tact, wherever this Jbund been thoroughly explained ns have been made to establish he Fund is an amount ranging m $200 to $500 which is loaned the Association to students in ounts of from $10.00 to $15.00 the purpose of helping them to end the Summer Conference. ' lifter being out of : College one year the delegate returns the ount loaned him. If he is un to refund the amount when o Tua i frfpAC f r nor ititarocf of A V. UV Ujl VW W . .J ill v,o W O.K, J r cent, until he is able to pay the ount. For instance the Fund is DO, and ten Sophomores '09 bor- v $10 each this year. Next year & Sophs. '10 each borrow$10, and ewise the the third Soph. Class '11 the year following. When ; fourth Soph. Class of 1912 en- s, the opn. ciase ot uy will e been out of College one year, tA thus will have refunded the fiount advanced to them in 1907. I supposing only $100 is secured as spring. This is loaned to the fcsent Soph. Class '09. Next year imilar amount can be secured, d the third year a similar amount. e fourth year will witness the urn of the amount loaned to the ass of 1909, and the Permanent mfcrence Fund will thus have en established. The Fund is not confined to any iss. Neither is the Fund limited $ $300. Pomona College has a nd of $500. The Fund can be lablished if necessary with only 5 or $50. ,11. Advantages of the Fund. First, this Fund makes the Associ ation work permanent by causing Association leaders to attend the Summer Conference every summer. Every three or four years the best Associations have a slump in their delegations. The result is that the splendid possibilities for the Asso ciation the following year are un realized. Often it requires several years for an Association to over come this handicap. The second great advantage is that if there is a permanent fund the money now raised each year for sending men to the Conference may be spent for missions, for so cial service in the college, and for strong speakers or lectures. The best Associations today are placing an increasing emphasis on these things. Another advantage of this Fund is that it will cause the strongest leaders to attend the Conference. Occasionally a delegate is selected because of his popularity without much thought of his leadership. When a student borrows money he is in earnest and will undoubtedly serve his college the following year. The permanency of the Fund will lead students, facuity, alumni, and other friends to give more money this year. They will feel that they are not giving students a trip which v L i; V c ?V, 'J f t 7 17 they perhaps cannot afford to take. They are establishing a Fund which wrill continue to bring results more definite than any other followship or scholarship in the institution. III. Objections. 1. "All the money cannot be raised this year.' ' Then start the Fund with what you have. 2, "Not many men will go if they have to refund the money." The experience of those Associ ations which have tried it tell us that just the opposite is true. Pom ona College, to which reference has already been made, a small denom inational institution in California, now sends twenty delegates each year; whereas before this fund was established it sent only five or six. Many institutions in the middle west also testify that this Perma nent Fund increases instead of di minishes the size of the delegation. IV. How to Establish the Fund. Present the scheme to another strong man who is open to the re ception of a new idea. ' Then with his cooperation present the propo-, sition to the cabinet. You may have to fight for it since some will say that it may work in other places but that your institution is peculiar. After you have won the cabinet make out a definite plan to estab lish the fund at once. Devote the next Association meet ing to arousing interest in the sum mer conference. At the close of this hold a business meeting of the Association, thoroughly explaining the Permanent Fund. Get an in fluential man to propose an amend ment to the constitution to provide permanent means for administering the Fund. Get out a printed folder giving a report of the Association work with an emphasis on the Fund, or else get out a special conference folder giving one half of the space to pro posing the Fund. At once make a thorough canvass among the students, faculty, alumni and friends. Expect and ask for large amounts. V. Suggested Amendment to the Consitution. ' 'The Permanent Summer Con ference Fund." "This Fund is to be established for the purpose of sending dele gates to the Southern Student Con ference each year. It shall be ad- Th e Tar -"Heel ministered by a committee consist ing of the President and Treasurer of the Association and one member of the Faculty.

After this the election shall be held at the regular election of the officers "4 t DAVIDSON COLLEGE ORCHESTRA. of the Association. The following rules shall govern this Permanent Conference Fund: 1. No one shall receive any money from this Fund who is not elected or appointed as a delegate by the Association. 2. The personal note of each person using this Fund shall be taken, payable within one year after he leaves college.

The Treasurer shall keep a separate account for this fund, noti fying the men when their notes fall due and collecting all money when due. 4. The Faculty member of the Committee handling this Fund shall E. G. HOWE, Athletic Director. be chairman of the Committee. At the first Association meeting in May each year he shall make a re port of the Fund to the Associ ation." I appreciate enormously the work the Young Men's Christian Association is doing. It is one of the greatest potent forces which must be continually built up if we wish to overcome the forces of evil." President Theodore Roose velt. The University Association ex tends its greetings to its bretheren and hopes to meet them in force at Asheville this summer. ""1;." I FOR EXCELLENCE AND UP TO DATE fl at 20 S.
