Probably this student body will never again have as good an oppor tunity to talk to students from many different schools of the State. Each one of the one hundred and fifty stu dent delegates is a college man and will have his own peculiar viewpoint on college life. He will have expe rienced many of the same emotions that you and I have. And he will have many little ideas peculiar to his own college. And these ideas, if they could be gathered together, would be an education in themselves. IMPORTANT. The greatest opportunity of the convention will be the opportunity af forded for personal interviews with the leaders. Very often some of the greatest work of a convention is accomplished through these channels. A personal interview with any of the leaders at the coming convention can be ar ranged by calling at the Y. M. C. A. office. ALL ARE WeTcOME. In order that the leaders at the com ing convention may reach as many as possible, the sessions will be held in the College Chapel instead of the Y. M. C. A. building. And we hope that it will become widely known that ca dets, campus people and citizens of Bryan are welcome and expected at any and all sessions of the convention. A COINCIDENCE. The completion of our building and the convening of the State Conven tion come as a very welcome coinci dence. It will probably be a long time before such a fortunate event again occurs in our association work at this school. Let us make the most of it at this time. Y. M. C. A. WORK WITH COLLEGE STUDENTS The work among college students as carried on by the Young Men’s Christian Associations is said to have tremendously affected the religious life of institutions of the country. As sociation work among college men is to have a large place in the program for the coming convention of the Texas Young Men’s Christian Asso ciations. Charles D. Hurrey of New York, associated with Dr. John R. Mott, is to lead several of the student discus sions at the convention. The leaders say the development of the work among college men has been remarkable, there being at pres ent in America 772 student associa tions with a total membership of over 72,000. It is stated that practically every leading in stitution in America now has its college Young Men’s Christian Association. Only a few years ago Dr. Patton of Princeton, •one of the leading educators of the nation, made the statement that the “College Young Men’s Christian Asso ciation practically has a monopoly of the organized Christian work among students.” Bible classes, religious meetings, mission study classes, per sonal work and extension work in the communities wrere institutions are located are some of the features used most successfully in touching the re ligious life of multitudes of virile col lege students. Many leading athletes are promi nently identified with the association of their institution. In Texas there are now twenty-four college associa tions and practically all the leading institutions in the State have organi zations. J. L. Hunter, assistant to Mr. Coulter, State secretary of the State committee, gives a large portion of his time to the work among college students. It is expected that at least 150 delegates from college associa tions will be present at the State convention. CADETS TO BE EX CUSED FROM DUTIES DELEGATES EXCUSED FROM ALL DUTIES, BOTH ACADEMIC AND MILITARY. ALL SHOULD TAKE ADVANTAGE During the convention session will be one time when the cadets will be free to absent themselves from roll calls. For those cadets who are offi cial delegates will be excused from both academic and military duties at all times to attend the sessions of the convention. All cadets are welcome at any time and will be placing them selves on their honor to attend when absenting themselves from classes. It is especially emphasized that every session of the convention is open to everybody. Whoever has my overcoat please return to me at 53 Mitchell and receive liberal reward.—W. C. Foster. TGn® <s>{?
