One's college IHe is a time of prepara-

t ion for the sterner work of after years.

The true man or woman is the moral and religious as well as the intellectual and physical. In the preparation for life, then, moral and religious culture should not be slighted. This is particularly true during- college years when intellectual develop- ment is rapid and one's real character IS

being subjected to so many tests and temptations.

The Chbstian life is not merely a mat- ter of theory and correct thinking; it is action, Christian fellowship and helpful- ness. Doubt and indifference may destroy

9

faith and fellowship. The remedy for both is earnest, sincere Christian activit)'.

Growth results from action. The student owes it to himself to decide at the very be- jlinning of his college course to give a fair share of time and energy to the develop- ment of his spiritual nature. and he should plan accordingly. In the busy rush of col- lege days the things that are not systemat- ically provided for are likely to be slighted.

"Plan well YOllr work; work well your plan."

The Christian Association of Alfred University is an organization for the pro- motion of Christian life and activity in the student body. It emphasizes not creed, but Christlike living. Through it the student may not only receive the benefits of Christian fellowship, but he may also use his own Efforts most effectively for the encouragemEnt of a religious life among his fellows. The Association invites every student to join with it for the promotion of Christian manhood and womanhood.

Y. M. C. A. Organization.

The College Association was organized in the spring quarter of 1893-lhe fifty- seventh year of the school's existence.

The late beginning in Alfred University of this grand work for college men was due in great measure to the excellent standard of morality and the high level of

The ASSOCIatIOn sends delegates every i year to the Northfield Summer School, \ conducted by Dwight L. Moody, and also

participates in district conferences and state

j

conventions. Its president is sent to the

I

President's State Conference and various other places. From these several sources .\

much inspiration is received which in the last two years has greatly increased the spiritual strength of the University.

The financial resources of the Associa- 1 tion are somewhat limited which necessi- . tates strennous efforts to meet the require- ments of effective work.

The Association desires to extend its .in- cere thanks to the Faculty, Trustees, and Alumni of the College, and to the citizens of Alfred for the generous contributions and assistance of various kinds which have enabled the A.sociation to accomplish so mnch iu "the promotion of God's truth among men."

FOGNDF.n JUNE. 1877.

The general supervision 01 the Associa-:

lion work among the colleges of Nortn America is in . tile hands of the College·

Committee of the International Com- mittee of Young Men's Christian Associa- tions. Under the guidance of tllis com·

mittee the number of College Associations has increased from 26 in 1877, with 1,300 members, to over 500 in Jil97, in Amerita alone, with a membership of about 32,000.

The most far-reaching result of this move- ~ ment is that it has made possible the for- mation of the College Yotlng Women'~

Christian Association, the Student Volun-

other organrzatlons world-wide in their in-' fluence.

The intercollegiate movement employs fO\lr travelling £ecretaries and one df>ce

The Alfred University Association makes an annual contribution for the sup- port of the intercollegiate work.

Alfred University originated in a select school organized at Alfred, December 5,

1836, which was incorporated as th~

"Alfred Academy" in ,843. The Uni- versity was incorporated by the State of New York in 1857, and its organization as a University perfected April 'S, 1857.

The first president of the University was

\Villiam Colgrove Kenyon. who had been principal of the" Alfred Academy."

The College of Liberal Arts offers three courses of instruction leading to the de- grees of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, and Bachelor of Philosophy. The
