Greeting.

The Young Men's Christian Associa- tion of Alfred University presents its compliments with the hope that this handbook may prove a handy book of reference in college affairs.

The Association desires to extend a most cordial greeting to all who re- turn for another year of college life as well as to those who now come to Al- fred for the first time.

To all the departments of college life, and especially to the religious privi- leges and work of the college, we wel- come you.

The Association aims to present in the life of the college the highest ideals and infl uences which are fostered by the union of men in Christian organi- zation as well as in the more secular relations of life.

To this end the Association earnestly invites the interest and co-operation of all students.

MEMBERS.

The Association makes no denomi- national distinctions or requirements ..

All Christians are welcomed, and a:

Simple acknowledi:ement of allegiance' to Christ is deemed sufficient for ad- mission to active membership. Any.

one of good moral character may join:

as an associate member.

We helieve that it is tothe advantage of Christians to connect themselves·

early in their course with the Associa- tion and its work. New students are earnestly invited to identify themselves with the workers the first week, and

The financial resources of the Asso- ciation are somewhat litnited which ne- cessitates strenuOus efforts to meet the requirements of effective work.

The Association desires to extend its sincere thanks to the Faculty, Trustees, and Alumni of the College, and to the citizens of Alfred for the generous con- tributions and the assistance of variollS kinds which have enabled the Associa- tion to accomplish so much In "the prOlnotion of God's truth among men. ^I)

A_ Organi:;;ation.

Realizing that the College trai;ling, which develops the physical and mental powers only, does not produce a well- rounded out \~oman, the first and fore- most object of the Young Women's Christian Association is to promote a Christian spirit within the University and to interest and assist every young woman within its walls in the spiritual .and social development of herself and her school-mates, and secondly to deep- en an interest in all philanthropi"

work. This is accomplished by devo- tional meetmgs, by conducting Bible

'"

During the past two years the Assoc- iation was represented at the State Convention and at that time affiliated with the state organizatjon. Two del- egates were sent to a district conference at Elmira, twO to the Summer Confer- ences at Northfield, Mass., and in con- nection with the Y. M. C. A. a delegate was sent to the National Convention of the Student Volunteers at Cleveland,

Various state secretaries have visi~

Ruth Rouse. By these means we have received enthusiasm and gained a more practical knowledge of the work and we hope that the work next year may be better titan any yet recorded in the history of the Y. W. C. A. of Alfred University.

The mid-week prayer meeting has 13

been held on Tuesday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock at the reception room in Ladies]

Hall. The time, however, may be

chanRP,d, if it is found more covenient ~ for the majority of the young ,vornen.1 A mission study class, for both young:

men and women, will be conducted by some competent leader. One of the ' courses offered by the Ed ucational . Secretary of the Student Volunteers . will be used.

RELIGIOUS MEETl:-lGS.

Intercollegiate Y. M. C. 4.

FOUNDED JUNE, 1877.

The general supervision of the Asso- ciation work among the coll~ges of

North America is in the hands of the College Committee of the International Committee of Young Men's Christian Associations. Under the guidance of this committe the number of Colkge Associations has increased from 26 in r8n. with T ,300 members, to over 500 in 1897. in America alone with a membersh ip of about 32,000:

The most far-reaching result of this movement is that it has made possible the formation of the College Young

\Vomen's Christian Association, th~

Student Voluntee,- Movement for For- elgn MissOllS. and other organizations world-wide in their influence.

The intercollegiate movement em- ploys [flur travelling secretaries and one office secretary. through whom in- tercollegiate relations are maintained, The travelling secretaries visit the

colleg~s,assist in strengthening existing

~SSOclatlOns, organize new Associa- tions, conserve results, concentrate enef!!;Y. and broaden the field of in- fluence of the Christian men in the various institutions. The office secre- tary collects and tabulates statistics conducts general correspondence

wit~

the colleges, edits publications, etc.

The secretaries also plan and conduct 16

the \V'orld's Student Conferences held yearly in Northfield, ~ass., Lake Geneva, Wis., and Knoxville, Tenn.;

and in many other ways train leaders for the college work.

The Alfred University Association makes an annual contribution for the support of the intercollegiate work.

Alfred University.

Alfred University originated in a select school organized at Alfred, De- cember 5, 1836. which was incornorated

as the "Alfred Academy" in lR43·

The University was incorporated hy the State of New York in 1857, and its organization as a University perfected April IS, 1857. The first president of the University was vVil1iam Colegrove Kenyon, who had been principal of the

" Alfred Academy"

The College of Liberal Arts offers three courses of instruction leading to

the degrees of Bachelor of Arts, Bach- elor of Science, ao'd Bachelor of Philos- ophy, The enlargement of the curric- ulum during recent years, the increased facilities, and the appoIntment to the Faculty of teachers of recognized ability and experience gives Alfred an en- viable place among educational institu- tions.

The following is a list of the presidents of the University with their terms of office:

William Colegrove Kenyon 1857 66.

Jonathan Allen, D. D., LL. D., 1867-92 •

Alpheus Burdick Kenyon. M. S., (Acting) ]892-93.

Arthur E. Main, D. D., 1893-95.

Boothe Colwell Davis, Ph. D., 1895- MATERIAL EQUIPMENT.

The University Campus is exception- ally picturesque and attractive. The

University buildings are nicely distri- buted over about twelve acres of ground, and are connected with each other and with the village streets by well-kept walks.

The charming arrangement of ever- greens and trees of many descriptions ma.kes its walks and drives fascinating to all and a perpetual delight to the students.

The University buildings comprise the "Chapel." the "Gothic," the

"Ladies Halll " "Burdick Hall,"

"Kenyon Memorial Hall,H the" Rog- er's Observatory, Il the "Allen Stein- heim Museum," and the "Babcock Hall of Physics."

KENYON MEMORIAL HALL, which was named in honor of the first Presi- dent of the University, William C·

Kenyon, is a modern brick building, completed in 1882, and contains the Library; the hall in which the Chapel exercises of the College are held each morning; some of the cabinets of the
