BREADTH OF VIEWPOINT.
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.

THE JEWELER
He carried it out of the Mess Hall.
Some noticed it and some didn’t.
What was it?
A grease spot on his trousers.
He should worry.
He sends his clothes twice a week
to the A. & M. Pressing Club.
Of Bryan, will appreciate the patronage of all Cadets and Campus
people. Guaranteed satisfaction to all. His repairing is best; his
optical department is best; his stock is of the highest class. See his
agents at College; leave them your watch for repair.
