February 1919

A number of the new ventures carried on by the Christian Association throughout the fall have been retained as a part of its work with the return to a normal basis. The library of 700 books is still open to the use of undergraduates, and stationery and other miscellaneous articles are provided when desired. All the former departments, including Sunday School work, employment, tutoring, and many others have been reorganized, and three new branches have been instituted. The newlines of work are in the hands of a Publicity Committee, which gains for the Association the required advertising throughout the college, a Finance Committee, which is to have charge of the annual financial canvass, and a Vacation Work committee, which will aid students in securing positions next summer.

This year's membership campaign took place January 17, resulting in the enrollment of more than 90 per cent of the undergraduate body. The canvass, which was under the direction of O. H. Hicks '21 and D. B. Ruggles '21, was completed in a single night. Officers of the Christian Association for the year are as follows: president, H. D. Gray '19; vicepresident, F. W. Alden '19; secretary, H. L. Childs '19; treasurer, E. S. Leonard '20.
