Secretary of the Y. H. C. A.
The Young Men's Christian Asso
ciation has grown to such proportions
at the University, and has become such
a vital force in the lives of the stud
ents, that its work demands a Secre
tary. One has but to read of the ma
ny activities of the Association, as
outlined in these columns, to see the
need of a secretary, who should give
his time and energy to its work.

E. P. HALL, Secretary
This year the Association has se
cured the services of Mr. E. P. Hall,
who is a graduate of the University of
Georgia, as Secretary. While in col
lege Mr. Hall was an active associa
tion worker, and in his senior year was
elected President of the Association.
Under the leadership of Mr. Hall,
with the support of a strong and ef
ficient cabinet, the Association is be
coming an increasing force for go6d in
the University.
Good Work Done by Self-Help Committee
It has been found that nearly one
fourth of the students enrolled at the
University each year are engaged in
some kind of work by which they earn
a part or all of their college expenses.
In the town and University many op
portunities for self-help await the man
who finds it necessary to work his way
and who is persistent in his efforts to
do so. It is comparatively easy for the
man who has been here for a year or
more to find some employment; but for
the first year man, totally unacquaint
ed with the place, it is often a difficult
task. To assist new men who want
work is the main object of the Self
help Department of the Y. M. C. A.
Until this year this work was in the
hands of a self-help committee com
posed of member of the faculty. When
it was turned over to the Association,
Prof. M. H. Stacy consented to remain
on the committee as a faculty repre
sentative to whom the students could
go for advice and assistance. The
committee has helped a large number
of students to find work since the be
ginning of the fall term. A canvass
of the town was made in September
and employment for a number of men
found in that way. A meeting was
also held by the" students of all classes
who were working or wanted work.
Having obtained the names and college
addresses of the men who attended,
and the information as to whether they
were employed or not, the committee
was able to work more intelligently
when a vacancy was found.
It is the purpose of the Self-help
Department to keep in touch with the
places and people that offer employ
ment to students and to be able to find
the men who need employment. Thus
it is of service both to the working
student and to his employer.

RELIGIOUS WORK
STARTED IN NAPLES
Among the Stadents by a New York Woman
Southern Secretaries to be Responsible for
Current Expenses
Last August the Southern secreta
ries of North America, after hearing
of a religious work started among the
students at Naples by Miss Elmira
Fay Leavitt, and of her financial need
to carry on this work, decided to as
sume the responsibility of supporting
it. .
Miss Leavitt, of New York City,
while traveling in Italy about five
years ago, became very deeply impress
ed with the -need of a higher and
cleaner life among the student classes
of that country. So imperative did
the need seem to her that she decided
to give her time, money and whole
life toward the betterment of the ex
isting conditions, -j
She first started what she called a
"Woman's Home" in the city of Rome,
From Rome she went to Naples and
began a religious work there among
6000 students, a large per cent of
whom are called agnostics and infidels.
Undertaking such a proposition that
would cause a strong man to hesitate
before entering upon it, this woman
through love and unselfish service is
winning these students to Christian
ity and clean living. For the first
three years she was unable to reach
many, but last year she reports that
her organization reached over one
hundred students. 0
Miss Leavitt with her co-worker and
and secretary, Signor de Pertis, was
present at the Secretaries' Conference
the past summer. She told how the
work had outgrown her ability to meet
the demand and said that she could
not manage it longer without more
help. The great work she has started
and is doing in Naples so appealed to
the southern secretaries that the 28
there at the conference pledged $2500
annually the amount of the current
expenses in support of her work.
The University of North Carolina
Association, since it is already raising
$500 annually toward the support of
its missionaries in China, Mr. and
Mrs. E.'E. Barnett, didn't feel able to
assume any financial share in this eri
terprize, nevertheless, it is interested
in the progress of this great work.
A Tribute
The Young Men's Christian Associ
ation of the University is an organi
zation that has proved its'worth by its
works.. Its Christian effort has been
practically directed along increasingly
successful lines until it is now the
most efficient and helpful of student
organizations. The magnitude of its
work, from a business standpoint is
somewhat startlingly revealed by a
glance at its budget; the spiritual value
of its work is gratefully felt by every
sympathetic observer of student life.
As an energetic, sane and devoted
organization wholly given up to sol
ving the difficult problems of right liv
ing it has established itself in the col
lege as not only valuable but neces
sary. . j I
Edward K. Graham,
The Southern Student Secretaries
are planning to visit Miss Leavitt's
Salotto in Naples, Italy, in the sum
mer of 1912. They will study the reg
ular summer course on the ship while
going across the ocean.
The 79th anniversary of New York
University was celebrated by burning
a $500,000 mortgage, which now leaves
the University free of debt.
