The Young JVIens Christian Association,
The college Y. M. C. A. is flourishing now as never before.
There w r ere 27 new members voted in on Sunday, September
24th, and their meeting are fairly well attended.
The gymnasium committee has fixed a scale of prices for
the use of the gymnasium which is as follows.
Use of gymnasium for one month .25 cents,
Use of gymnasium for three months .65 cents.
Use of gymnasium for nine months $1.50
The equipment of the gymnasium is very good, but the
committee intend to add thereto as fast as thq funds can be
obtained.
The usual Sunday evening meetings are very interesting
and everybody, member or no member, is invited to attend,
The result of the census will be announced in the next is
sue of the Batallion.
It is a very gratifying sight to see so many of the new ca
dets raking an interest in the association.
There are twelve or fifteen applications now awaiting ac
tion at the next meeting. The Young Men’s Christian Asso
ciation is no second-class college organization. It ranks
among the very first of the first-class organizations. At such
colleges as Yale, Harvard, etc., it is the center of all attention,
and in my mind it is the duty of every college student to first
join the Y. M. C. A. and then join a literary society.

est in the athletics at the college, the above was mentioned,
