HE Young Men's Christian Association is the one organization above all others on College Hill, which stands for the spiritual uplifting of the students. Perhaps it may be said that at college the threefold object of the Young Men's Christian Association is resolved into one. This is the moral and spiritual uplifting of its members. The cultivation of mind and body being carried on by other departments of college life, it is only necessary for the association to emphasize these functions, not carry them into effect. Let us see then, just what the association is doing toward the accomplishment of this purpose. To begin with, the majority of the students of the college are members of the association. Our Wednesday evening meetings have been unusually well attended this year. Good, active leaders have been selected and the meetings have had a new inspiration partly because the topics have usually been given to the members for discussion. The result of the week of prayer was especially made manifest by the decision of a number of young men to lead Christian lives. 120
