Thb record of growth and service
achieved by the Young Men's Christian
Association is a matter of pride to the
student body and to all who are deeply
interested in the University. The
Association has been called the insti
tution through which the religious life
of the University expresses itself. It
is an organized effort to serve, having
as its ideal a life of Christian strength
and usefulness. Its greatest service,
perhaps, is to afford a means for men
to develop themselves by doing Chris
tian work in an organized, cooperative
way.' "
Through its various activities the
Association attempts to touch and to
serve the entire student body. It goes
even beyond that, sending a number
of men to neighboring country church
es as Sunday school teachers and
superintendents. In its Bible study
classes classes studying the life of
.Christ, of St. Paul, and of Old Testa
ment Characters about 325 men are
at present enrolled. These courses are
open to all students, whether members
of the Association or. not. Through
the information bureau and the self-
1 d AO
neip department a special eliort is
made to aid the new men.
Second only to its religious side is
the social feature of the Association.
The Association building is the com
mon meeting ground for all the stu
dents. Its convenient location, its
reading and game rooms, are advan
tages not overlooked by the students.
It furnishes offices for the Tar Heel,
the Yackety Yack, and the Magazine.
The various clubs and committees of
whatever nature find here a welcome
, and convenient meeting place. At
,the beginning of each year a reception
is given in the Y. M. C. A., bringing
, together a more representative body,
perhaps, of both students and faculty,
than any other occasion of the year.
,As a fitting tribute to the worth and
i power of the Young Men's Christian
. Association we. quote the following
i words of; Dr. C. Alphonso Smith:
. "TheYpung .Men's Christian As
, sociation is an organization that stands
for .clean libing, high thinking, and
-social service in .its widest sense. It
is a coustructive force that is making
war ? on ,: narrowness, prejudice, and
, selfishness and building. up a strong,
, coherent, , manly , Christian sentiment
that will be' felt in every section of the
State."
Valuable Addition to library
A most valuable and interesting ad
dition to the library has recently been
made, through friends of the Uni
versity, in the form of an old edition
of "The Natural History of Carolina,
Florida, and the Bahama Islands."
The "History" consists of two large
volumes,, edition' of 1754. It contains
illustrations of the birds, animals, in
sects, etc., described, in natural colors.
An interesting feature is that all the
descriptions are given in both French
and English. The following is a copy
of the description title page: '
The Natural History of Carolina,
Florida, and the Bahama Islands:
Containing the figures of Birds, Beasts,
Fishes, Serpents, Insects, and Plants:
Particularly the Forest Trees, Shrubs,
and other plants not hitherto describ
ed, or very incorrectly figured by
authors. Together with their descrip
tions in English and French. To
which are added, Observations on the
Air, Soil, and Waters: with remarks
upon Agriculture, Gram, Pulse, Roots
& c. To the whole is prefixed a new
and correct map of the countries treat
ed of. by the late Mark Catesby, F. R.
S., revised by Mr. Edwards of the
Royal College of Physicians, Loudon.
Another valuable acquirement is the
collection of bound volumes of the
Raleigh Tri-Weekly Standard arid
Daily Sentinel for the years 1865-1870.
A thirdj and still rarer acquisition,
is an original copy of the constitutions
of the famous Ku Klux Klan. In ,a
review of this interesting and histori
cally valuable little booklet, Dr. Louis
R. Wilson, in the January North Car
olina Review, says:
"So far as is known only two other
original copies exist, one of these being
the property of the library of the
Southern Society of New York, which
is now deposited with the library of
Columbia University: and the other
belonging to Mr. J. L. Pearcy, form
erly of Nashville, Tenn., now of Wash
ington, D. C.
"Ui tne original rescript, mat is
the one published before 1868, but one
copy is known. Of the second there
are three of which the one given to
the University Library is the most
recently discovered. Its interest, while
great for the very reason that it is a
silent witness of the once widespread
power of the "Invisible Empire," is
equally great from the point of view of
its origin and publication."

An Appreciation
Having been in Chapel Hill but a
very short time, l cannot say very
much of the University Y. M. C. A.
irom personal ooservation. .But one
does not need to lfve near Chapel Hill
to hear or be in Chapel Hill long to
see tnat tne i. m. u. A. here is
vigorous organization, that it is Demo
cratic and elevating in its influence,
and that in this specific - instance the
general claim is made good that the
Association stands for the heal thru
exercise and normal : development of
every proper faculty of manhood. The
Methodist church and all other church
es in the community and in the state
stand shoulder to shoulder with these
men who undertake to give us an ex
ample of Christianity applied in Uni
versity life and who are succeeding so
well in their aim. We wish the Y.
M. C. A. all possible success.
Sincerely, ' . j.
W. A. Stanbury.
