Nnmber 87 I DELEGATES HAVE RETURNED FROM Al Report That The They Enjoyed the ~ Trip and Derived Much Benefit From the Convention. ro ¥ E> puclaved until later in the week. ~ The unanimous report of all is a great good time enjoyed while on a trip of unusual advantages offered them by the occasion of the conven- tion and the generous contributions - of those who subscribed to the Des Moines fund. The trip was arranged by those in charge to provide for en- tertainment throughout the whole journey and during their stay there cand from all accounts obtainable it was surely provided. The Convention was held in the F Coliseum, a hall with eight thousand seating capacity. Seven thousand of the delegates were seated in the hall proper, while at least one thousand prominent leaders and speakers from forty countries were on the stage. The delegations were grouped by | states and by sections of the U. S., thus making it possible for the var- iw lous colleges to give their yells and college songs, as well as giving vent to sectional pride. I One of the delegates said that Dr. | Truett really expressed the complete- § ness of the Convention when he said I that it was a panoramic’ view of the | world. Dr. Truett delivered the Con- vention sermon, a message that was § spell- binding in its grip. On the re- | turn trip to Dallas, he very appro- priately gave two talks to the Texas I Delegations tersely summarizing the Work of the meeting, and graphically arranging it in their minds in the Way to do them the most good. This added retentiveness necessary for Proper reffection and meditation, and appropriated the whole for their use. ~ Soon after registering at the Con- | vention, every delegate was given a | handy map of Des Moines, showing the locations of all the prominent hotels, the ColiSeum eating places, ete., also a hymnal and a handbook were pre- sented, that those attending might get the most out of the meeting with the least inconvenience. The program was so arrenged that those attending had little time for amusement; tho the general and sec- tional meetings were so interesting the delegates were eager to be pres- ent at every meeting possible. The E! general sessions treated general topics of interest; while the various section- pal meetings treated special topics con- Cerning Volunteer and Missionary All of the Speeches and programs were so re- Ww.th important matter that it THE CONVENTION | AGGIES DEFEAT BAYLOR FIVE IN FAST GAME HERE All the delegates to the Student’s | f Volunteer Convention have returned | b: College.
