Y. W. C. A. Organi:4ation.
Realizing that the College training which develops the physical and ment powers only, does not produce a well rounded out woman, the first a"d fore most object of the Young Women"
. Christian Association is to promote Christian spirit within the Universit and to interest and assist every youn woman within its walls in the spiritua and social dev~lopment of herself an her school-mates, and secondly t deepen an interest in all pbilanthropi, work. This is accomplished by dev tional meetings, by conducting Bibl classes for the systematic study of til Bible, by holding evangelistic, temper ance and missionary meetings, by per
12
sonal wOlk, and by giving receptions and socials. The Young "Vomen's Christian Association of Alfred U ni- vel'sity was organi.zpd May 2[, ]893, ,and thouRb it has not always been as pros- perous as could be desired it has stead- ily grown in numbers and ir,fiuence.
The Association has been represented for th" pa,t three years at the Summer Conference at Xorthfield, and at vari- ous State cOllventions.
Much help is gained during the year by the visits of secretaries of State or- ganizations with which the Association is affiliated,
The mid-week prayer meeting has been held on Wednesday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock at the Training Cia,s room.
The time, however, may be changed, if it is found more convenient for the ma- jority cf the young women.
A mission study class and various Bible stndy classes will be conducted by some competent leader .
RELIGIOUS MEETiNGS.
