THE PLACE OF THE Y. M. C.A. IN HE UNIVERSITY. F. H. SNOW. Con inued from page 1. Finally, the V. M. C. A. in the University of Kansas is here because conditions have made it necessary, it has grown up with us and answers to needs that other agencies cannot fill. It is a university affair and one of very great importance, and as such should be supported by all, whatever their personal views may be. The same element of individual freedom pervades the work of the Christian Associations. The great majority of the students of the University come from Christian homes and they find in the wisely directed activities of the Christian Associations the best possible influences for strengthening and perpetuating the highest types of Christian manhood and womanhood. FROM THE FACULTY. Organizations in which young men are associated for the development of the highest ideals in life, and which, in conformity with such, are consistently maintained and controlled, are the best products of any civilization, and the most fortunate possession of any institution of learning. The object of our colleges is not to turn out a finished piece of work, but to so prepare,equip, and develop its students that all the noble and truly valuable possessions of life may be open unto them, from which opportunities they themselves are to obtain the completeness that God offers unto man. The idea that Jesus of Nazareth gave unto the world was human helpfulness, universal brotherhood; that true religion consists not in what one can get out of life for himself but in what kindly service one can aid the life of others. When young men believe in this idea and are banded together for its promotion they are engaged in the most valuable work of the world. W.L.BURDICK. --- The distinguishing characteristic of the religious life of the University of Kansas is its spontaneity. The daily chapel service owes a large share of its helpfulness to the fact that the full attendance of both students and faculty is entirely voluntary. One who has been in the harness himself and has been interested in the practical working of the Y. M. C. A., need not be approached by argument to prove the value of organized work in the promotion of the social and material welfare of strangers and others who come within reach of the influence of the organization. That is the feeling of the undersigned who has not only had practical work in the organization but has always felt a deep interest in its progress. The work of the organization as applied to the University of Kansas has been of great practical value in the directions above indicated.
