Y. M. C. A. Organization.

The College Association was organ- ized in the spring quarter of 1893-the fifty-seventh year of the school's exist- ence.

The late beginning in Alfred Uni- versity of this grand work for college

I men was due 'in great measure to the excellent'standard of morality and the high ievel of Christian living which have always been the chief characteris- tics of Alfred. ThEse conditions Ie;:- sened the need of Association work, and delayed its, introduction because its objects Were partly realized ,through other means.

The College 'being thus placed in a community s6 blessed of God, in a village whlch has not known the CUfFe of rom -aM its kindred evils.£or over haif a 'Century-has had to battle with none of those temptations with which the environs of the great majority 'of colleges are so dangerously disfigured.

The exterior conditions having been so favorable, the inception of system- atic work was attended with little diffi- culty, and the Association has enjoyed a healthy,vigorous growth up to the present time.

Together with the Women's Assoc;ia- tion the Y. M. C. A is the chIef medium of Christian work in the University, and is a branch of that great central

OIlJECT.

C. A. whleT}

The object of this Association is to promote growth in grace and Christian fellowship among its membe>s, and aggressive Christian work, espe~ially by and for students; to traiA them for!

Christian service and to lead them ot ^J devote their lives to Jesus Christ, nOi!

only in di:itincti.vely religious- caJlings.,

i

Jaut also in secular pursuits. !

·MEMB.ERS. ^I:

dent is sent to the President~' State Con- ference and various other places. From these several sources much inspiration is received, which in the last t;o years has greatly increased the spirituaJ strength of the University.

The financial resources of the Asso:

ation are. somewhat limited which ne-

"essitates strenOOs efforts to meet the f"equirements of effective v.:ork.

The Association desires to extend its sincere thanks to the Faculty, Trustees, and Alumni of the College, and to the citizens of Alfred, f<>r the generous·con tributions and the assbtance of variou;

kind; which have enabled the Associ,,·

t-ion to accomplish so much in .. the promotion of God's truth among men."

Chrhdan Association of Alfred Uni-, versity was organized May 21, r893. andl though it has not always been as pros-:

perous as could be desired it has slead-!

ly grown in numbers and influence.

I

The Association has been represented, for the p~st three years at the summerl,

12

Con ference at Northfield, and at vari

DUS State conventions.

Much help is gained during the year by the visits of secretaries of State ^Or- ganizations with which the Association is affihated.

The mid-week prayer meeting has been held on Wednesday afternoon at 3:3⁰ o'clock at the Training Class room.

The time, however, may be changed, if it is found mOre convenient for the ma- jority of the young women.

A mission study class and various Bible study classes will be conducted by some competent leader.

Religious Meetings.

The general religious meetings of the University under the d ·rection of the Christian Asssociations is held every Sunday evening from 7-30 to 8. '5 in the lecture room of Kenyon Memorial Hall. These meetings are full of in- spiration, and all students are cordially invited to attend.

The mid-week devotional meetings are held every Wednesday in Chapel Hall. The men's meeting is· held in the afternoon immediately before the recitation periOds from 1 to 1.20 in Prof, Bates' room. The women's meeting is held in the afternoon ^from 3.3⁰ to 4 in the Reception Room, Ladies Hall.

These meetings are exceedingly help- ful and are held at such times that all may attend.

'3

The Friday eyening prayer-meeting is conducted by the Pdstor of the First Seventh-day Baptist Church, and to the stranger as well as to the stund"nt and townsmen its doors are open.

Voluntary meetings are held in dif- ferent rOoms at the pleasure and con- veuienc€ of the s(udellts.

Bible Study.

No college man can afford to gradu- ate without a practical ami compre- hensive knowledge -of the Bible. An economical and satisf.actory place for acquiring such knowledge i< offered you by the Young Men's Christian Association. Two courses will be pre- sented the coming year. One,

"Studies in the life of Christ" based

be arranged to suft tfle COnvenience oC the members.

. It is hoped every student will appre"

clate tire opportunity offered and will identify himself with one of these classes.

Annual Reception.

The Annual Reception to the new students will be given by the Christian Associations on

. You are cordially invited to this reception.

The p~lvileges afforded in the college eommUllJty for social lntereourse are many. Frequent receptions are given to the whole or to parts of the body of students.
