In a two days' campaign to raise one thousand dollars for the support of the Christian Association for the coming year, held the first part of November, $950 was subscribed by the undergraduates and over $50 was promised by the faculty. The campaign was well conducted, and the success of the measure was due to the energy of the officers and of the cabinet, who had the affair in charge.
The first social affair of the year given by the Association was, as usual, the recption to the freshmen, given the Saturday after College opened. On Thanksgiving Day the second social was given. Mr. E. H. Baynes, of Corbin Park, gave an illustrated lecture on "The Protection of Birds and Wild Animals in America." Following the lecture an informal reception was given in Bartlett Hall, at which refreshments were served.
The year's work in Bible study will commence about the first of December, a month earlier than usual. Thirty-five leaders will have the work in charge, an increase of nearly half over last year. Courses will be given for the freshman and sophomore classes, and advanced study will be conducted for the upperclassmen.
The alumni committee of the association, which has been so successful in conducting the financial affairs of the Association, has recently sent a set of thirty-four volumes to Hanover to be used in connection with mission study.
