A Suggestion. “It seems important that every col lege student should make large use of the advantages that this Y. M. C. A. convention will bring to us. It will be many years perhaps before these advantages come to us again. Let us make the largest use of these men and let us appropriate the mes sages that are brought to us. “Let us not forget that the dele gates are our guests. It is the duty of each of us to assist in entertain ment. Remember that these men will get their impression of the col lege from the way we act and talk. Let no incident occur to mar the suc cess of these three days. This will be the severest test that has been made on us to entertain on a large scale, but I have no fear of the re sult. I am sure that the same quality of entertainment that is shown to ward visiting athletic teams will be shown our guests on this occasion. If we meet this standard nothing more could be expected.” PRESIDENT W. B. BIZZELL. Y. M. C. A. BUILD= ING DEDICATED (Continued from Page 1.) ing occurred on Sunday night.

ATHLETICS One of the special features to be discussed at the State conention of the Texas Young Men's Christian As sociations, will be the physical de partment of the associations. The Young Men’s Christian Asso ciation, it is said, was the pioneer or ganization in giving attention to the physical well being of young men and boys of the cities under wholesome influences. It is known that some years ago most of the physical work carried on in the nation was conduct ed by professionals whose aim in most cases was to make pugilists or professional athletes of certain types. The Young Men’s Christian Associa tion conceived the idea that a strong body could well go with a developed mind and well rounded character, and therefore called to positions of lead ership physical directors who entered the association work in its physical department that they might occupy positions giving them opportunity to develop all round Christian manhood. The real leader of association physi cal directors of America is Dr. George J. Fisher of New York City, who will be present at the convention and dis cuss the physical work of the asso ciation. Dr. Fisher is looked upon as a real leader in his sphere, and is counselled with not only by associa tion men, but with leaders in schools and with other men having to do with physical and moral well being of men. There are 637 gymnasiums connect ed with the associations and in ad dition 173 athletic fields. During the last year practically 300,000 different men and boys took physical exercise regularly in the associations. STATE CONVENTION OF Y. M. C. A. FEB. 18 That the State convention of the Texas Young Men’s Christian Asso ciations, to be held at the A. & M. College, February 18-21, will be a gathering of great importance and un usual significance, is the statement of L. A. Coulter of Dallas, State secre tary of the Y. M. C. A. That it will leave its impression on the young manhood of the State, is another statement of Mr. Coulter. Speakers prominent in religious work not only in Texas, but in the nation, will address the convention of Christian workers. Among them is Dr. George W. Truett of the First Baptist Church, Dallas, known the country over as a pastor preacher; Dr. George J. Fisher, secretary of the international committee for physical work, is another speaker. James A. Whitmore, secretary of the interna tional committee for the reigious work department, and who was leader of one of the teams of experts in the Men and Religion Forward Movement, will also attend the convention and address the delegates. Other speak ers are G. S. Billheimer, executive secretary of the Southwest, with headquarters in Denver; Charles G. Hurrey, senior secretary of the stu dent department of the international committee, with headquarters in New York City; John L. Hunter, secretary of the college work in Texas, and others. The sessions of the convention will be attended by about 300 delegates representing the city, railroad and college Y. M. C. A. organizations. DIXIE THEATRE A Swell Bill Saturday Afternoon.
