CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION NOTES

One of the features of the work of the Dartmouth Christian Association during the winter term is a lecture course consisting of four numbers and comprising an evening of college music by a quartet, an entertainment by an accomplished magician from the undergraduate body, and two lectures, of a nature both entertaining and in- structive, by members of the faculty. This course is not given in Hanover, but in some of the small country towns in the neighborhood, with the object in view of providing something wholesome in the way of .social occasions, during the winter months, for the residents of such towns. In this way the Association has sought in a measure to discharge the obligations which the College owes to the people in its vicinity.

The numbers of the course thus far given have everywhere been received with an interest and enthusiasm which gives abundant evidence of the need of this work. Funds which remain in the hands of the Association after the expenses of the course have been met are to be divided and turned over to the local management in the several towns, which with one exception is under the auspices of some local church.

Worthy of special mention also is the Bible study program of the Association. Four hundred and fifty men are enrolled in thirty-three Bible groups, the leaders of which meet wèkly in two normal groups. Results are not all that could be desired from the standpoint of attendance, but the work is much better organized and much more effective than that of a year ago.
