Tuesday night the complete Associa tion Cabinet met to hear Dr. Bizzell, Dr. Fountain and Mr. John Erhard.

Religious Program. The Religious Committee will this year be responsible for the Sunday morning Bible School, mid-week Y service, and with the earnest coop eration of the student pastors, will endeavor to come in contact with every student and campus resident, and with every enlisted man connected with the college. It will be of great interest to know that several noted speakers have been asked to speak at the mid-week ser vices, at which time subjects pertain ing particularly to the college man and his religion will be discussed. Until further notice the student pastors will organize their respective groups, and will meet in the follow ing buildings at the times mentioned: Episcopalians 9:330 a. m., Sunday, C. E. Building. Methodists, 7:30 p. m., Sunday, E. E. Building. Baptists, 6:45 p. m., Sunday, Guion Hall. Presbyterians, 6;45 p. m., Sunday, “Y” Chapel. Catholics, 9:00 a. m., Main Build ing. Christians, cooperating with Pres byterians in “Y” Chapel. The student pastors will have their office> in the “Y” Building, and may be reached through Mr. L. G. Jones, general secretary of the Y. M. C. A. The “Y” at Hollister. Seventeen A. and M. men attended the Y. M. C. A. conferences held at Hollister, Mo. The first conference, a school for the employed officers of the Y. M. C. A., closed on the eighth of June. Fourteen A. and M. men were in attendance at this conference throughout the two weeks of the course. These men were: L. G. Jones, Ward Browning, .D D. Steele, B. Eubank, J. J. Wyly, P. W. Drum- mit, B. B. Naschke, C. K. Frazier, L. W. Littlejohn, C. Snell, J. A. Albrit ton, J. M. Fountain, A. L. Parke, J. S. Smith, and J. H. Wheelock. With the exception of East Texas Normal, A. and M. was the only school that had a large and powerful delegation. A. and M. pep overshadowed that of any other organization. The Aggie yells soon silenced all (cheers) from other sections. The delegation won many honors in the activities of the TRAVIS B. BRYAN, H. O. BOATWRIGHT, Cashier President J. H. TODD, Asst.

Not on the basis of how large a balance you may maintain but rather from the stand point of how useful we may be, we solicit your account. No account too small to receive our careful attention. When You Think of Banking Think of the FIRST National First camp. Jones won his way to the finals in tennis. On Texas stunt night Jones and Wheelock presented vaudeville skits that mere the most clever en tertainment given in camp. Little john won four first places i nthe track meet. Browning was chairman of the stunt committee, and Steele was chairman of the Athletic committee. The group made an excellent scholar ship record also. Much of the best work of the conference was done by A. and M. The second conference, for college students, began on the tenth of June and closed on the twentieth. Nearly all of the A. and M. delegation reg istered for this conference also. Their numbers were increased by the ar rival of Mr. J. E. Lewis, former sec retary of the Y, Mrs. Lewis, C. E. Olsen and D. A. Douthit. A. and M. was prominent in the activities of this conference as at the previous one. Olsen was pitcher for the camp base ball team and manager of Texas ath letics. Steele was one of the two officers elected to represent the Texas group. Drummit was elected Texas yell leader, and business manager of the Camp Annual. The representatives entered thor oughly into the life of the confer ences and gathered new ideas and re ceived inspiration with which they hope to make the ideals of Christ real in the lives of the college students. They won respect for the college among representatives of all the col leges of the Southwest. Social Program. The social program has been plan ned to reach the same objective as that of the religious program, name ly, that students be led to create on the campus the social customs and spirit worthy of a Christian commu nity. To this end, therefore, is to take the social program desperately in earnest being convinced that the securing of a Christian social point of view, and the hammering out of so cial convictions are fundamental means. The first requisite for success in this work is a careful survey of the social situation in the college. The resume has been partly made, and as a result entertainment was furnished in the form of wrestling bouts and a picture show last Wednesday night.
