THE BATTALION
POLICY OF Y.M.C.A.
FOR PRESENT YEAR
(Continued from Page 1)
it not so, we should never have
chosen college for the advancement
of our educational potency.
There are practically fifteen hund
red young men at this institution,
seventy-five per cent of which, prior
to their stay here at College, it is
safe to say, were consecrated, dil
igent Sunday School and church
workers, back in their respective
homes, but, due to carelessness and
negligence on their part, have given
very little consideration to this ques
tion. Is this not entirely too im
portant a matter to cast aside?
Our weekly Bible School services
have been and will continue to be,
under the auspices of the Y.M.C.A.
Guion Hall, which every student
surely thinks the most beautifll as
sembly hall in Texas, has been kindly
offered us for the purpose of con
ducting our Bile School. We should
feel gratified when we realize that at
present we have the splendid in
struction and co-operation of twenty-
seven teachers and officers, who as
sume their assigned responsiilities
from Sunday to • Sunday with the
greatest efficiency and zeal. Our at
tendance so far has een very good
considering the fact that we are just
beginning to settle down to system
atic study. With an average attend
ance of three hundred men now, we
fairly predict a steady increase un
til at least seventy per cent of our
students have either been active in
Bible School work or have been con
nected with such organizations as
would appeal to the real men within
our student body.
Dr. Bizzell, our sincerest friend
and benefactor, has kindly volun
teered to conduct a Sunday Bible
class This group of men is com
posed of approximately thirty Sen
iors and graduate students of the in
stitution, who find much satisfaction
in studying with Dr. Bizzell, and who
will, without a oubt, reap benefit
from having come in contact with
him.
Another feature of the “Y” work
is the evening service on Sunday,
conducted in the “Y” chapel immed
iately after supper. At these meet
ings, there are usually able speakers
who bring us some helpful messages.
Perhaps the speaker of that same
morning will consent to talk, or, if
the “Y” is unable to present him, it
always provides a worthy substitute,
one who has been chosen to discuss
some of the local problems which
concern us, because of his experience
and the interest he has maintained
for the welfare of our College.
Each Tuesday evening in the “Y”
chapel prayer meeting is held. This
is an informal devotional hour which
is spent in communing with God
about our problems and difficulties.
It is conducted principally y the stu
dents. themselves and from every
standpoint the students viewpoint is
considered, and at times an open ex
pression is given by those presen:.
Perhaps the most popular (yet
least important) feature of the Col
lege “Y” is the picture show. Last
year the films shown here were se
cured by our government and for the
men of the S.A.T.C. The “Y”
knows that all the students appreci
ate the best type of pretures and,
whenever possible, choose the very
best pictures obtainable. We should
appreciate the kindly, liberal consid
eration on the part of the Y.M.C.A.
and those responsible for the pre
senting of these films, and verify our
esteem by conducting ourselves as
GENTLEMEN whenever a picture is
being shown.
We cannot deny the fact that at
this college, opportunities for bet
tering the mind, body, and soul are
extended to each and every one of its
students. The Y.M.C.A. is responsi
ble for every good feature of college
life—backs every good cause, en
deavors to maintain a high moral
standard among the students, pro
motes better deeds, clean habits, and
benefits the College in every way post
sible. Why not prove ourselves
worthy of the “Y” spirit, by taking
an interest in the “Y” services anr)
co-operating with the “Y” in every
way we possibly can?

The Battalion is in receipt of let
ters from Edwin E. Aldridge ’16,
Capt. 33d Inf., Camp Gaillard,
Canal Zone, and Paul P. Reily ’17,
Taos, New Mexico, requesting that
their suscriptions be renewed to
gether with the hearty desire to see
old standards upheld at A. and M.
this year. We are indeed indebted
to such acts of interest and hearty
loyalty and hope that this will prove
an incentive to those of us who have
failed to conceive the actual meanipg
of school spirit. Following is an
extract from the letter of Capt. Al
dridge: “Best regards to all the old
men that were there in my itme. I
see it looks as if old A. and M. is on
top again. I guess that M. J. Con
way ’17, and I will not get to see
any games for a while as we have
three long years of service yet. The
Colonel of the 33d Inf., B. C. Morse,
is an old commandant of A. and M.
—serving during 1892-94.
