C. A. which is very significant andwhich promises good results is thework of the Friendly Relations com¬mittee. A complete list of the foreignborn students now in the Universityhas been secured. This includes 463students and 42 nationalities. Effortshave been made to relate these stu¬dents to the churches and also tosecure an entree for them into thehomes of some of our best citizens,in order that they may know moreabout the better side of our home andchurch life.Letters were sent out to thechurches suggesting two or threeways in which they could co-operate in jmaking the foreign students feel moreat home. Several of the churcheshave responded, and two invited the ientire group to special receptions ofparties during the Christmas holidays.At this present moment there is beingplanned a reception for all of theChinese students, by the WoodlnwnBaptist Church, 62nd St. and Univer¬sity Ave., on the evening of Friday, |Jan. 21st.

A. in se¬curing workers for the UniversitySettlement deserve.-? much commenda¬tion. During the Autumn quartereight men were sent to us, who gaveat least one evening a week to thework assig^ied them. The efforts ofHoward Beale to get volunteers, andthe spirit of the volunteers enrolled,stamped the movement with success.We of the University Settlementwish to thank the Y. M. C. A. for thehearty co-operation given us and toencourage other men to join the ranksof the volunteers. I shall say just aword about the different kinds of workwith the boys which one finds at theSettlement.First, there is the game room,where the smaller boys play checkers,dominoes, cards, and numerous othergames. The work here consists ofkeeping track of the games, assistingthose who do not understand Amer¬ican games, and maintaining orderamong the youngsters.Eight Boys’ Clubs OrganizedAjter the boys have passed thegame room age they are organizedinto clubs, which are based upon theage and development of the boys.There are eight such clubs, composedof boys ranging in age from ten totwenty years. Many workers areneeded to aid in the management ofthese clubs, and it seems that this isjust where the University men can!bo of most value. A knowledge of Isociology, etc., is not needed for this 1work. The man who is on the job jeach time is of much more value than jthe sociology student who is not care-;ful of his attendance. jThe University of Chicago Settle- jment is YOUR settlement. It is up jto you to help keep it going. Per-1haps this brief explanation of activ- jities will be encouraging to some men |who in the past may have thought |that lack of knowledge about settle- ;ment work is an unsurmountablehandicap.

CHURCH COOPERATIONMAKING PROGRESS INMANY LINES, REPORTProgram Meets With Difficul¬ties; Results Appear Fav¬orable to Secretary( HI RCHES PRAISE ACTIVITIESThe Church Co-operation programof the University of Chicago Depart¬ment of the Y’ong Men’s Christian As¬sociation being a new departure fromthe former plan of work has requiredconsiderable time for clearing theway, and defining our field, as wellas for securing proper connectionswith the churches and church repre¬sentatives. The securing of adequatecommittee service on the part of stu¬dents has not been easy, but progressis being made along that line as wellas in many other respects.(Continued on Page 4)Pres. Judson Extends |Congratulations to “Y*’ |II congratulate the Young Men’s |Christian Association on its work for ithe quarter ju.st closed. The Associa- |tion performs an important functionin the University life, and a very use¬ful one. I am sure that it has atheart the very best interests of thestudents and of the University, and Iam confident that in the future it willgrow more and more valuable. I am |always glad to co-operate with theAssociation in any of its activities.HARRY PRATT JUDSON.Membership in “Y*’ IsPut on Service BasisThis year, for the first time, thelocal Y. M. C. A. has placed its mem¬bership on the “Service basis.” Thatis, the former fee has been abolishedand men now join the Association be-cau.se they believe in its objective andare willing to help in the promotionof its program of activities and serv¬ice. No membership campaign hasbeen held but over two hundred menhave offered their membership andpractically all of them have accepted jplaces on committees or are doing |some form of service.The Association objective, as statedon the membership application is asfollows:“The Young Men’s Christian Asso¬ciation of the University of Chicagois an indigenous spiritual campusmovement of students and faculty for jthe following purposes: To lead stud¬ents to faith in God thru Christ; tolead them into membership and serv¬ice in the Christian Church; to pro¬mote their growth in Christian faithand character; to promote a positivemoral and religious college spirit; tochallenge students to devote them¬selves, in united effort with all Chris¬tians, to making the will of Christeffective in human society, and to ex¬tending the Kingdom of God through¬out the world.All the men of the University whoare in sympathy with the purpose ofthe As.sociation are cordially invitedto become members of the organiza¬tion. Settlement Kids HaveBig Time At “Y’s’’Xmas. PartyThe Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A.played Santa Claus to about 225 chil¬dren from the various settlementhouses last month. The kids were jgiven a sleigh ride—a la auto—to Ida 1Noyes by the men from the Y. M. C.A. who donated their cars for thepurpose.W’as it a success? Listen: {“Hey Tony, ain’t that a pretty look- jing tree?” |“Gee, when do we eat?”“Say, us boys ain’t goin’ to playdrop the han’k’rchief.”“Do we have to pay for the pres¬ents ?”“Can we go back in the same autothat brot us?”“What are we goin’ to play now?”,“I don’t want this wrist watch, no¬body but girls wear them.”“Gee, Jimmy, this yere floor sure isslicky.”The Christmas tree was decoratedas per usual and with the necessaryillumination. Along about the mid¬dle of the party, half a dozen boysformed a flying wedge and knockedthe Christmas tree over. No damage,except a few shattered tinsel balls.It took the combined sagacity of thedozen men, who were aiding the Y.W’. C. A. program committee with theboys, to keep the same from knockingover the rrmxtvirtt bystander’s, tn theirmad rush over the floor.The traffic manager, name not tobe mentioned, went after a load of kidsin his car. On the way back his car—my error—his Ford sprung a leak andhe had to be carted in. Owing to thisfact, some of the children had to waitafter the others were gone and they?\ere entertained by an impromptuvaudeville program—speaking a piece,and such—by the women and someof the audience.SOCIAL COMMITTEECARRIES ON MANYCAMPUS FUNCTIONSPep Sessions, Socials, Fresh¬man Luncheons Among.Accomplishments.ATTENDANCE TOTALS OVER 700The activities of the Social com¬mittee of the Y. M. C. A. during theAutumn quarter included social func¬tions, “Pep Sessions” and “Freshman |Luncheons.” The first of the socialfunctions was a stag social for thenew men, which took place in the “Y”’rooms in Ellis hall on the evening ofthe first Friday of the quarter. Theidea of the meeting was to make thenew men feel at home and to acquaintthem with each other and with someof the customs and history of theUniversity. Dr, Edgar Goodspecd gavea short talk on the University, Cap¬tain Jackson of the football team out¬lined prospects for the season andurged any aspirants to try out forthe team. President Harding of the“Y'” wound up the meeting with afew words concerning that organiza¬tion.Later in the quarter the Y. M. C. A.and Y. W. C. A. gave a reception tothe President and Mrs. Judson at IdaNoyes hall. Those in the receivingline were F’resident and Mrs. Judson;Dr. and Mrs. Coulter, Dean and Mrs. IRobertson, Miss Kate Smith, an»l Mr.(Continued on Page 2) SECRETARY SMITHSAYS “Y” IS BACKING‘‘HELLO” WEEK MOVEAsks Men to Enter Into theProposition; FacultyFavor Plan.CO-OPERATION IS NECESSARY“The women got the jump on usthis time,” Gerry Smith, secretary ofthe Y. M. C. A., said Friday, “but weare going to follow them up in theproposition. The W. A. A. wants allthe women to say ‘Hello’ to each otheron the campus this week; we wantthe men to do the same thing. Andhere’s where we go them one better—Miss Ruby Worner who is sponsoringthe thing for the women agrees thatit is perfectly plausible for the menand women to say ‘Hello’ to eachother.”The movement has been tried in anumber of colleges and Universitiesand should be as great a success hereas it has been elsewhere. Membersof the faculty are in full accord withthe proposition and Assistant Prof.Frederic Thrasher, of the SociologyDepartment, in the Daily Maroon oflasts Friday, expressed the belief thatthe idea would be successful if thestudents got the proper spirit of co¬operation.FINANCIAL CA.MPAIGN ISGREAT SUCCESS; 632 MENCONTRIBUTE OVER $2000Undergraduates Exceed Goal Set forDrive; Average Gift Esti¬mated at $3.45.^The financial campaign of the Y. M.C. A. in the Autumn quarter had forits goal the sum of $2000, to be sub¬scribed by the student body of theUniversity. This sum was approxi¬mately one-fourth of the total budgetneeded for the fiscal year. On Nov.1, 1920, the various teams, composedof seventy-five of the most active andhardest working men in the campus,met in Hutchinson Commons wherethey were given the necessary infor¬mation and inspiration for the coin¬ing campaign, while enjoying thepleasing associations that accompanya banquet.The men grasped the situation fromthe start and, urged on and encour¬aged by the remarks of Dr. CharlesW. Gilkey, pastor of the Hyde ParkBaptist church, they started out thatafternoon to swing the campaign overthe mark set by the finance committee.In about two weeks the goal wasreached—and passed. Last year 271men had given $441.75, an average of$1.62. When this campaign closed632 men had contributed $2,181.00—an average contribution of more than$3.4.5 per man.It is most gratifying and pleasingknowledge that the undergraduatestudents do see the big part that theY’. M. C. A. plays in the student andUniversity organization. As Dr. JohnM. Coulter, of the Botany Department,so ably said in his remarks at thebanejuet at the Quadrangle club in theclosing night of the campaign;“The student association at the Unl-(Continued on Page 2)2 THE DAILY MAROON.

There isno doubt about it—the average manis happiest when he is helping some¬body else. There is a solid satisfac¬tion which comes from service andwhich one can procure from no otheract. A deed of sacrifice may be anunpleasant one at the time; in manycases however, it ’s a pleasant one.But at any rate the glamour of thepast is spread over such an act, itprovides an unending satisfaction tothe doer.The Y. M. C. A. offers an oppor¬tunity for service in a field of ac¬tivity wher3 such opportunities areapt to be hidden in the e.xperiences ofthe moment. College life today is oneof keen competition, socially and in¬tellectually, and the st^-uggle for in¬dividual distinction oftentimes becomesso keen that the other fellow is leftout of consideration.Some of the biggest men on ^ thecampus are connected with the Y". M.C. A. They find time for some w'orkof service in addition to their activ¬ities, or teaching, or work of whateversort they are engaged in. And theyundoubtedly live more richly becauseof the service they render.Don’t be content with being simplya member of the Y. The organiza¬tion needs volunteers to go out andwork among the people who need whatthe college man can give them. Manymen have already volunteered and areworking regularly—serving society.Others are needed constantly as thecalls for help and service continue tocome into the Y'. M. C. A.Help the other fellow!INSIDE DOPEThe University Y. M. C. A. doesn’toffer you shower baths and swimmingpools, billiard tables and basketball.It doesn’t need to, because you can getthem on the campus at other places.In fact, the Y. here appeals to in¬telligent men w'ho make up the stu¬dent body of a large University andit doesn’t depend on external rewardsto induce young men to join. You arebeing offered a subtle compliment toyour intelligence when the Y. M. C.A. asks your co-operation merely onthe basis of SERVICE. The serviceyou can render is your reward andthey believe that it is a sufficient one.HELLO THERE!About two months ago the collegesof the country were swept with a waveof enthusiasm for “Hello” days, whenall students greeted each other onthe campus with a cheery “Hello.”Today the University is taking up themovement and it was left to the wom¬en of the LYderation to start it. Al¬though coming rather late, the cam¬paign will no doubt be successful. Itcertainly should he. It could come atno more appropriate time than nowwhen the Y. M. C. A. is making aspecial effort to put its work beforethe campus, because it is the spiritwhich is back of the Y. M. C. A.which is hack of a move like this. Ifyou will he pardon for the repetitiononce more let us say, “Help the otherfellow.” Comradeship and some en¬thusiastic fellowship between stu-d(>nts is what is needed on the campusand the “Hello” week promises to bea step toward that end. FINANCIAL CAMPAIGNIS GREAT SUCCESS(Continueil from Page 1)versity has to complete what I call th6‘tripod of Education.’ By ‘tripod ofeducation’ I mean the training of theindividual physically, intellectuallyand spiritually. The University ismost interested in intellectual train¬ing, but it has also provided for thephysical training. The effective spir¬itual training, however, is relegated tothe student Y. M. C. A. This spirit¬ual training comes from Christiancomradeship, and the Association intending to organize this Christiancomradeship is helping to completethe tripod of education. When werealize that the Association is themost important factor in completingand rounding out one’s education wecan appreciate its true significance onthe campus.”In order that the students and othercontributors may know just how theirmoney is used the 1921 budget of theY.

Thefirst, before the Purdue Game, wasin Mandel hall, when Mr. Stajfgmarched the entire squad onto thestage and presented them by nameto the crowd. Cheerleader McWil¬liams led the songs and yells. The.second session, before the Iowa game,was held in conjunction with theFreshman-Sophomore mixer in theReynolds club and featured speechesby “Moff” Elton, Hutchinson, andCapt. Jackson. The torchlight pro¬cession on the night before the Illi¬nois game turned out a big crowdwhose torches illuminated the wholecampus. The band added pep and alot of cheerleaders took a hand inmaking the crowd yell. The last ses¬sion was held on Stagg Field the nightbefore the Wisconsin game, when theFreshmen burned their green caps inthe great bonfire and the band playedthe Chicago songs. Harold Nicelyand Moff Elton made talks on the goodspirit of the team.At each of the three Freshmanluncheons more than one hundredmen were present and many wereturned away. Each time representa¬tives of various student organizations and members of the faculty were pres¬ent to educate the Freshmen in someof the mysteries of the University.At the first gathering Harold Nicelyspoke for the Honor Commission, Wil-iiam Holton for the Reynolds cluband Dean Robertson talked on thehistory of the University.Campus Lights Speak to FroshAt the second, Glenn Harding toldof the Undergraduate Council, JohnAshenhurst of the Daily Maroon,Richard Flint of the “Cap and Gown”’;and “Teddy” Linn contributed generalinformation that was enthusiasticallyreceived.

M.C. A. has just announced an altera¬tion of its plans for the coming quar¬ter. In spite of the support of stud¬ent organizations, the Daily Mai’oon,and many students, the committeefeels that the forums have not be¬come an essential part of the life ofthe campus. Conflicting classes, lec¬tures, and concerts combine to cutdown attendance. If the studentscan’t come in large numbers to theforums, the committee plans to takethe forums to the students.Fraternities Hold DiscussionsSome of the fratemities on the cam¬pus have already developed a policyof holding discussion groups and in¬viting faculty members, alumni, andother students to lead them. Thetopics range from the most pressingpolitical to the most remote archeo¬logical. The value of these confer¬ences in broadening the point of viewof the specialized student and in es¬tablishing personal contacts with,worthwhile men has already beendemonstrated.The committee believes that in mostcases the failure to develop such aprogram has been due to oversight*on the part of the various campusgroups, and that a reminder of thepossibilities of such a device will besufficient to extend the interest inlocal conferences. The committee willbe ready to supply speakers andtopics by way of suggestion if itsservices are desired by some groupwhich has not yet developed an in¬dividual program.To Take I'p Chicago HistoryThe All-University forums will con¬tinue, but they will not he held reg¬ularly, and each one of them will bemade of ])re-eminent importance tothe campus as a whole. Internationalproblems will be strcs.sed during thecurrent quarter. Special weeks arebeing planned on University of Chi¬cago history and policy, and upon so¬cial leadership. Speakers of interna¬tional reputation are to be secured todiscuss the specific opportunities forsocial leadership in medicine, law,and the other professions. “Y" INVITES STUDENTS TOMAKE USE OF ITS ROOMSAND FACILITIES IN ELLISAll the activity, enthusiasm, pep,and service described in this issue arehoused, or at least have their head¬quarters in, the Y. M. C. A. rooms inEllis hall—the world’s champion ex¬ample of “much in little.”Physically speaking, the equipmentincludes a piano, a Brunswick, chess,checker, and lounging facilities, andnumerous books, newspapers, andperiodicals. At the west end of theroom is a counter at which, amongother things, stationery and informa¬tion are dispensed free of charge.This counter service was inauguratedat the beginning of the Autumn quar¬ter; it is run almost entirely by stu¬dent volunteers.Contrary to more or less prevalentimpressions, the “Y” diggings areopen to each and every man in theUniversity, regardless of race, relig¬ion, or membership in the local Asso¬ciation. This is something more thantoleration, it is a cordial, standing in¬vitation.Numbers of men use the “Y'” as ameeting, studying, and loungingplace; but there is always room forone more. That is, one more is alwayswelcome, although he may encountera deplorable lack of space at certaintimes of the day. It is especiallyhoped, therefore, that the Y'. M. C.will again have the use of Ellis 3as soon as University housing condi¬tions permit.FIRST Y. M. C. A. HANDBOOKGIVES INTERESTING F.VCTSbklition Issued in 1893 Shows Condition of University; Gives Ideaof .Vssociation’s WorkDr. Thomas W. Goodspeed has re¬cently presented to the YL M. C. A.a copy of the first “Student’s HandBook,” published by the local asso¬ciation in 1893. It would be interest¬ing to compare it and its contents withits little red leather successor of 1920,for in that comparison would be writ¬ten the history of the University andthe .Yssociation. A few' excerpts willserve to show' how times havechanged:Location—“The University Campuscomprises four blocks of ground lyingbetween 57th street on the north and.59th street—the Midway Plai.sance—on the south; Lexington Ave. on theeast and Ellis Ave. on the west. Thecampus contains about twenty-fouracres and lies about midway betweenWashington Park and Jackson Park,where the World’s Columbian Expo¬sition is now in progress.” “May bereached by cable cars on W’abash Ave.,or by Illinois Central trains. The fareon the Elevated or cable is five cents,on the Illinois Central ten cents.”Equipment and Re.sources—“TheUniversity’s resources now aggregateseven million dollars. The publicbuildings are the Cobh Lecture hall,the Kent Chemical laboratory, theRyerson Physical laboratory, the Wal¬ker mu.seum, and the building contain¬ing the libraries and gymnasiums.”“The dormitories of the University arecalled halls and the regular occupantsof a hall are said to constitute ahouse.”Athletics—“Although the Univer¬sity has as yet no Athletic Associa¬tion, and belongs to no league, it hasbeen repre.sented in football, baseballand tennis.” “On the day the Univer¬sity opened football candidates gath¬ered and practice was at once begun.A team was soon organized,” etc. Onthe line up we read “Righthalf, Stagg,Captain.” The first three footballscores for 1892 read:“University vs. Hyde Park HighSchool, 12-0.University vs. Englewood HighSchool, 12-6. University vs. Hyde Park HighSchool, 16-10.”Commons—“The University Com¬mons are in the basement of the Di¬vinity halls. The rate at the Com¬mons is $3.50 per week.College Songs—“After the Fridayevening meeting of the Y. M. C. A.those present usually stay and singcollege songs together for half anhour.”Telegraph—“There is a telegraphoffice in Cobb Ball opposite the en¬trance.”Yell—“The favorite yell among thestudents is:“Chicago, Chicago, Chicago, Go.Go-it-Chica-Go-it-Chica-Go-it-Chica-Go!”Y. W. C. A. ANNOUNCES THISQUARTER’S PLANS IN DETAILPlan.s for the work of the Y. W. C.A. during the W’inter quarter, as an¬nounced ly Miss A*’n Elizabeth Tay¬lor, General Secretary, include atleast two functions for each Commit¬tee or department; the continuance ofthe regular weekly vesper services inthe League Room on Wednesday af¬ternoons at 4:30, preceded by tea?fiom 3:30 t » 4 30; the observance ofa “Morning Watch” on Thursdaymor?iings at 7:30' the conduct of theannu'd driv* toi* for Foreign\Vi I k (this year 'he money will likelygo to Y. W. work in China); the elec¬tion of officers for the next year; andthe annual Friendshij) Dinner, at theclose of the ijuarter.The Y. W. C. .A. has had very happyco-operative relations W'ith the Y. M.C. A. during the year. The two Cabi¬nets have held joint social and busi¬ness .sessions (the girls prcj^.ing thatthey are w'onderful cooks) and thetwo associations sharing in the quar¬terly socials for the stmlent body, inthe Christmas Party for SettlementChildren, and in the Christmas Ves¬pers. The two organizations havealso planned to hold their regularfinancial, foreign work, and similarcampaign at the .same time each year,so that the thought of the studentbody shall be centered upon one sub¬ject at a time.Automobiles in Social ServiceThe social service department ofthe Y. M. C. A. has one committeedevoted to securing automobiles forco-operation with the other commit¬tees. The chairman has the respon¬sibility of securing the automobilesfor the occasions demanding such sup¬port. In the past quarter the socialservice department has sent an or¬chestra of several pieces to the Uni¬versity of Chicago Settlement for adance which is given there every week.In as much as the orchestra was com¬posed of University students whowere not paid an auto was furnishedeach week to take them to and from.The biggest job of the automobilecommittee was to secure autos for theannual Y. W. C. A. party for settle¬ment children. The Y. M. C. A. eachyear has furnished the transportation.This year about fifteen autoists worepersuaded to lend their vehicles tocall for the kiddies at a settlementhouse to take them to Ida Noyeswhere the party was held. Then theytook them home afterward. In thisway about two hundred little kidswere made happy. The following isa list of people who lent their autos:Major Marr, Ralph King, Pill Mor¬gan, Vivian Spurgeon, Ed. Reading,Howie, Beale, H. Jenkins, LockeDouglas, John Holms, Will. Bal-hatchet, Elizabeth Kane, Mrs. Wish-art, Clyde Homan. In the comingquarter there will he occasions whenautos will be needed for settlementwork. Anyone who will be willing tohelp in this way please leavt^ yourname in the Y. M. C. A. office.THE DAl’.Y MAROON. MONDAY, JANUARY 10. 1921.BOY SCOUT GROUPS INSLUMS ARE GUIDED BYSOCIAL SERVICE WORKERSAmong the Autumn quarter activi¬ties of the social service committee oftKe Y. M. C. A. have been work atseveral settlement houses, direction ofgroups of scouts and boys' clubs inthe slum districts, instruction in Eng¬lish classes for foreigners, knowChicago excursions, and a big Christ¬mas party in Ida Noyes hall for 221settlement children. In all about 1000people were served each week, and 37men were at work in regular weeklysocial service jobs.In addition 24 men were on a listwho did occasional service through thequarter. And a committee of six menwere busy all the time doing the rou¬tine work of sending the men out.Howard Beale was the chairman ofthe social service work during theAutumn quarter, and this quarter Per-cival Gates has taken his place. Theother men are Earl Little, RoswellRolleston, Hilger Jenkins, NormanBeck, and Russell Pettit.At the University settlement, thecenter of greatest activity, the Y. M.C. A. has one all time man, a Fresh¬man who lives at the Settlement houseand puts in every night there. Be¬sides, one man is there on Mondaynights in charge of a boys’ group, twoon Thursday, four on Friday, and two!on Saturday nights. Every Wednes- jday night one of the graudate stu-1dents lead a boys’ and a gil§s’ glee.club there, and the Y. M. C. A. fur-1nished a three-piece orchestra for theSettlement weekly dance. !In South Chicago two men havebeen teaching English to foreignersfour nights a week apiece. And scat¬tered over the south side and at Hullhou.se were men in charge of groupsin various institutions.Every second wiek during the fallquarter the social serv’ice committeeconducted excursions to places of in¬terest about Chicago, with the doubleobject of acquainting University menwith the city and of studying socialconditions. Among the places visitedthis year have been the Chicago StockExchange and Board of Trade, Mar¬shall Field and Co., the Flower show.Swift and Company’s plant in theUnion stock yards, and Sears Roe¬buck’s plant on the west side.On December 18 the social servicecommittee of the Y. M. C. A. joinedwith the same group in the Y. W.C. A. to give a Christmas party inIda Noyes hall from 2 to 6. Gamesin the game room in the basement, alarge Christmas tree and presents foreach child amused 221 children fromeight or nine settlements until timefor refreshments in the sun parlor.Fourteen automobiles supplied by themen on the campus with cars trans¬ported the children to and from thesettlement and furnished an auto¬mobile ride which was as great anovelty as the party itself. The chil¬dren came from the University settle¬ment, Hull House, the Stock YardsDay Nursury, the Burnside settle¬ment, the Bohemian settlement Fur¬man house and others.In numbers served and numbers atwork the work of the social .servicedepartment has in this one quarterfar surpassed that of any past years.A system of reports keeps an actualrecord of the work by weeks. Thecommittee does a great deal for thepoor of Chicago with whom it works,and even more for the workers them¬selves who get an entirely now view¬point of life. Mr. Gilkey of the ad¬visory council and one of the trusteesof the University said at the last Y.M. C. A. dinner, “if the Y. M. C.

They go to the ends ofthe eartn for them. i hey take every sort of physical chance to getthem, a.nd they often take big financial chances also. To the massof men the biggest values lie right at their door and within easy reach.Where in the world can you get such values as the Young Men sChristian Association offers? To accept them and to follow out theirprogram you can t fail to develop physically to be stimulated and en¬larged mentally, to find social, moral and religious values; to put your¬self in line to produce the riches which come co those who think andfeel and work and sacrifice for the welfare of their fellow men. Ifyou are a dead-in-earnest sort of fellow and you are really after worth¬while values my advice is to join the Y. M. C.

M. C. A.The most important meetings werethe three addres.sed by Bishop Mc¬Connell. His subject, “The SpiritualKingdom,,’ “The Opening Door,” “ThePath to Certainty,” proved to be veryinteresting and beneficial. The re¬ligious faith of all who attended w'asgreatly strengthened by the Bishop’sdirect and simple exposition of Chris¬tian fundamentals.The Tuesday afternoon discussions,lead by students, have also provedvery helpful. The topics di.scusseddealt with the manner in which Jesusmet life problems. The leaders lastquarter were Harold Lewis, Carl Falesand Herbert Grant.The Religious Meetings committeehad the pleasure of co-operating withthe Y. W. C. A. this year in the Christ¬mas Vespers service hold on the Sun¬day afternoon preceding the holidays.The plan for this quarter is. to con¬tinue the meetings in Haskell As.sem-bly room on Tuesdays at 4:30 andwhenever possible to arrange meet¬ings with the outstanding men in thereligious world who visit the campus. I 1 The deputation, or gospel team,department of the University Y. M.C. work, while not generallyvnown to the campus at large, is,nevertheless, of considerable impor¬tance. This phase of our programconsists of enlisting men students whoare able and willing to speak on re¬ligious or .semi-religious topics, tosing, or to play some musical instru¬ment, under the auspices of the Y.M. C. A., at churches, young people’ssocieties, Hi-Y clubs (high school Y.M. C. A.’s), etc., and then of securingplaces for these volunteers to work.It is, of course, considerably easierto di.scover opportunities for servicethan it is to find men to make use ofsuch opportunities. For this reason,we always welcome volunteers whoare willing to go out on deputationteams, say, once a month.There is opportunity for men ofwidely dilTcrent types of ability, whoare interested in Christian work, totake part in this program. For thosewho prefer to speak, sing, or play inpurely religious services, we arrangemeetings in churches, especially tho.seof young people’s socities, at whichour teams take entire charge of the.services, including pre.sentation ofsome topic by one or two speakers,special music, scripture reading, andlending of testimony meetings. Wehave numerous calls for foreign stu¬dents who are willing to speak onsome phase of life in their native lands. .And the high school boys pre¬fer to hear talks by athletes and oth¬ers prominent in student affairs, whocan give them glimpses of what theymay expect to find in college life.We who are engaged in this servicebelieve it to be of great benefit toall concerned, for the organizationswhich we assist profit by having anew' and refreshing element intro¬duced into their meetings, the Uni-ver.sity and the Y. M. C. A. arebrought before the public in a veryfavorable light, and the students whoperform the .service receive training inpractical Christian service.“V ” TO DETERMINE LAKE(JENEVA CONFERENCE DATEThe student Y.

Conferenceat Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, w'hich foryears has been one of the strongestforces in the religious life of the Uni¬versity men throughout the MiddleWest, is to be held this year at a timewhich will fit into our University cal¬endar in such a way as to make itpossible for Chicago to have the ban¬ner delegation as it did two years ago.The (’onference begins on June17th, the day the Spring quarter ends,and continues until the 2 7th. Lastyear Chicago had no delegation be¬cause the dates conflicted. The menof the University are already makingplans to have the largest delegationwhich this chool has evfer sent to LakeGeneva.

Volunteers are secured duringthe Spring quai’ter among studentsalready here to help the newcomers asadvisors. As soon as a complete listof incoming male students can be se¬cured from the office of admissionsa lett&r is sent to each offering theservices of an upperclassmen and tell¬ing what services he will perform.Those who, replying to this offer,state that they desire a councilor aretold the name of the one assigned tothem, and the person selected is giventhe name and address of the new stu¬dent, and the transaction is completedas far as the Y. is concerned. Mostupperclassmen get into touch withtheir proteges by mail soon, tellingthem of points which it is importantfor them to know on arriving at thecampus, and then see them when theycome in the Fall and help them ingetting acquainted with the methodof discharging their official duties andwith the undergraduates activities.The Y. M. C. A. is a volunteergroup—a large and great group ofmen whose purpo.se is to make thespirit of Jesus dominant throughoutthe world. It is a democratic organi¬zation. It has no bishops, no pope,no priests, no king. Its spirit is thespirit of helpfulness and service. Itssuccess depends upon character andthe clearness of its ideals and the de¬votion of its leaders to the task ofrealizing these ideals. There is nomore appropriate place for a Y. M.C. A. thtin at the University. Hereare men who are forming ideals, anddetermining the things to which theywill give themselve.s. Here is a schoolof leadership in the greatest thingspossible. The Association has alreadyaccomplished great things but hashopes for still greater things thanany of its achievements.ERNEST I).

TheUniversity does not secure a churchcensus each year at the time of reg¬istration as do many other large Uni¬versities such as Yale, Cornell, Mich¬igan, Illinois, and Wisconsin, but thisinformation is secured from the stu¬dent only once and that at his originalregistration. Even this plan has beenin operation only two years, so eventhe matriculation cards do not furnishthis information complete as the up¬perclassmen were not asked to givethis information on entering the Uni¬versity. Besides, many of the Deanshad a supply of the old cards on handand they continued their use until theywere exhausted before beginning theuse of the new cards.Get Lists From RegistrationsIn spite of these clerical difficul¬ties, church lists have been compiledfrom the registration cards of all in¬coming men students during the Au¬tumn quarter. Similar lists were se¬cured from records in our office whichwere carried over from last year. Inorder to make this information usableit was necessary to secure the presentaddresses of all those students fromthe information office, a total of about1000 names.As fast as this information was se¬cured, typewritten lists of denomina¬tional groups were made out and sentto each Protestant church in the com¬munity. If more than one church ofany denomination desired the lists they were sent out. For example, fourBaptist churches, three Methodist, twoPresbyterian, three Episcopalian,three Christian, besides several otherindividual churches received the lists.The churches in turn have used thelists for mailing invitations to specialchurch activities and for the basis otpersonal calls. Following is a tableshowing the number of names thathave been referred to the various de¬nominations:Denominational Lists that havebeen compiled and sent to the churchesin so far as the denominations arerepresented in the University Com¬munity:Methodists 227Presbyterians 210Baptist 142Congregational 88Episcopal 74Christian 72Lutheran 48Small Miscellaneous Groups.. 69Total 930Write to Incoming StudentsEarly in the Summer letters weresent out to 320 incoming freshmenurging them to bring with them theirChurch membership certificate and tobecome affiliated with one of thechurches in the University community.Blank forms for this certificate wereinclosed. The letter also containedcircular of information concerningcertain Bible Discussion groups whichhad been arranged for University menin ten of the local churches.On arriving at the University hun¬dreds of men, both freshmen and up¬per-classmen w'ere interviewed at thecounter and urged to carry out theprogram suggested in the letter men¬tioned above. In addition letters weresent out to over 600 men at the open¬ing of th quarter urging them to be¬come affiliated members of the localchurches and to take part in churchactivities.The results of the Church member¬ship effort have not been secured infull, but we have information thatseveral, perhaps a dozen or two havebecome church members. While theresults of this work have not seemedsatisfactory, we believe that we ai-emaking some progress and paving theway for better work in the future.Enrol 147 in Bible Clas.sesAs a result of the letter and per¬sonal solicitation on the part of ourBible study committee and thechurches a total of 147 men have en¬rolled in church Bible classes duringthe quarter with a total attendance forthe twelve Sundays of 121 sessionsand 838 men. Some of the churcheshave been unable to interest enoughstudents to form a special class andthose who have attended have joinedin with classes already in progress.In other churches there has been noresponse at all. While the results ofthis effort have not been as good aswe had hoped they would be, it isgratifying to note that the studentattendance at all church services, es¬pecially the young peoples’ societies,and preaching services, has increasedsubstantially over previous years, asis attested by statements from severalof the ministers.A person at visitation of many ofthe men on the denominational listsreveals the fact that many of themlive in the city and attend church withtheir families in their own communi¬ties. Many of them live in suburbanplaces and of course are not near thecampus on Sundays. Many others aredoing special .service in connectionwith churches, missions, social settle¬ments, etc. A large number of stu¬dents also attend and take part in theSunday morning service at Mandelhall, and are not included in any ofour reports. There are 20 to 25 menin the choir and about 10 men on theushering staff besides those in theaudience who are especially anxiousto hear visiting speatkers rather thanconnect themselves with any particu¬lar church in the community. Theincompleteness of our records, as wasindicated at the outset would indicatethat many men attend church of whomwe have no record.I’lan for Better AttendanceDefinite plans are already underway to secure better attendance ofmen at the various church activities.A calling week has been set for Jan.10-15 during which time an attemptwill be made to call on all the menwhose names are on the denomina¬tional lists.

A number of small groupshave been invited into homes and onThanksgiving Day 24 invitations todinner were secured for these stu¬dents.The Y. M, C. .A. also co-operatedin promoting the attendance at theannual Christmas dinner given by theMetropolitan Student Department ofthe Y. M. C. A, at the Central Depart¬ment on the 28th of last December..About 75 of the University of Chi¬cago students were present and twoof the four student speakers were ourmen, as was the chairman of the pi’o-gram committee and the secretary-treasurer of the Foreign StudentsCouncil.' Representative foreign students arealso being used in connection with ourDeputation work. They are sent outat the request of churches or otherorganizations, to speak to interestedgroups of people on subjects relatingto their native lands.A great number of personal callshave been made upon the students intheir rooms, and the experiences ofthe men who have made the calls havebeen very interesting. The calling hashelped them, as well as the foreignstudents. The object of calling hasbeen to show friendliness, to be ofassistance, and -to sec\»re the interestof these students in the Associationand in church work. Some of thestudents have received help with theirFTnglish, and we want all of them to feel free to ask for assistance in thisor any other line in which they findit needful. These personal calls areto be especially emphasized duringthis V’isitation Week.Certain of the fraternities alreadyhave invited foreign students to Sun¬day dinner, and it is hoped that allof the others will co-operate in thiscourtesy. Also, in the line of socialevents; on the afternoon of Sunday,January 16th the Y, M. C. A., v/Hhthe Y. W.
