A. can be the source of great power for good in the state needs but a moment’s thot to realize. Its particular field of service lies, of course, within the walls of the University, but its activities should become state-wide. The new student leaving home to enter college, severs all for mer religious ties, and, if left to his own devices, may not form new ones. He is just at the age when freedom and independent thought makes a strong appeal, and be is apt to regard it as mature and manly to appear indifferent to religious matters. But if there is a strong Y. M. C. A., with an active secretary, and he is looked after, and in vited to join, he can in most cases be enlisted in the ranks. If the Y. M. C. A. numbers among its active members a goodly proportion of the leaders of student activities, athletic, and social as well as literary, the appeal to the new student becomes very strong. It is to this splendid work of developing leaders in religious thought, unselfish service, and moral backbone, that the University Y. M. C. A. is devoted, and no other, or outside influence can accom plish the same work. As part of its work outside the University the association sends gospel teams, or deputations to many towns to stim ulate the boys of lhe*town in their interest in more education, in mor ality, and jin religion. It also plans a social service survey of the counties of the state, which may develop to be of great service. The people of the state ought to recognize the association as a power in tile University and give it their moral and financial support. ,W. K. NEWELL. A Debt to Mother. WHEN A young man comes to college it is usually at the cost of considerable sacrifice and possible hardship on the part of bis par ents. It is an added burden to those to whom he already owes more than can be repaid with labor or check book. IIow many of us ap preciate that which is done for us bv the “folks back home?” ,Wc take all that comes our way and seldom stop to think what our educa tion may be costing in things denied to mother and father. Do we often reflect that our insight into knowledge and the world is an ex pensive gift? Most of us come to college with injunctions to do only that which is best and worthiest. We come with excellent resolutions. How long do they last under the unrestrained freedom of college life? It is not usually long before we begin to backslide. ' We grow negligent, not only in religion but in other matters in which we have been trained most of our lives. How many of us have not taken up smoking during the first months of our freshman year? In college our habits, from our church attendance to our table manners, suffer a sudden and! decided slump. Do we not—all of us—owe more than we are giving to our selves, friends. University—to the parents through whose sacrifices we are happy? Do we not owe a closer and more earnest attention to those ideals and duties in which we have been trained—to those things, perhaps, for which the University Y. M. C. \. stands. Are we not leaving a debt to Mother unpaid ? JOHN DeWITT GILBERT. v\, . -* j ■ ’ a : ; ’ <1 i y The Faculty and Ihe Association. .V 011 Til A !' a suitable time has come for those who support the work of the V. M. C. A. upon the I'niversitv campus to take stock of the results achieved, it is well to consider the purposes for which the organization exists. Through the employment bureau, the book exchange and similar activitcs the association aims to make a college education a possibility to young men who would otherwise find themselves financially handicapped. Through its social departments it aims to promote such condi lons in the student body as shall \ield the best returns in manhood for the time and money expended. As an institution, non' -eetarian, yet not irreligious, it aims to develop in each student that fine spirit of unselfishness which is the distinguishing characteristic of the best type of college man. It s this spirit which makes a college education for a single individual a thing of value to a whole state. I?v it one is impelled to intake some contribution to economic progress, to improve living conditions, to right social wrongs and otherw ise work for the development of a real ITopia. That the \ . M. \. is making real progress toward the real ization of these aims is shown by the fact that the faculty to n w. 1 usuallv generous degree, and to an increasing extent, is contributing to its support. Indeed, the support of the faculty is a barometer of the usefulness of .the association’s work. A. K.
