LAWRENCE, KAN., APRIL 14, 1900.
We have accepted the kind offer of the WEEKLY Board, and take charge of this issue of the paper, in order that its many readers may gain a true idea of the status of Christian work in the institution. There is a lamentatable ignorance of these matters over the state which is proving detrimental to the best interests of our University. We hope that our Kansas friends in other places will sometime cease to judge us until they understand the actual conditions. A thorough perusal of our columns may suggest that some good exists even at the State University.
There have been two new features in this year's Y. M. C. A. work, without which its unprecedented success would have been impossible. The first of these is the Association House, which, while all too small to meet all Jemands, has been indispensable. The second, the General Secretary, who enabled the Association to more completely carry out old lines of work and to accomplish things which it has hitherto been impracticable to attempt. It will be impossible for the Association to realize the widest influence and wonderful possibilities which the field affords without a well equipped building and a well paid secretary who can devote his whole time to the work. This means more money, but the Association believes its friends are too true to let this be a long standing need.
This is not a "Sheldon Edition;" we are not dabbling in journalism for the purpose of reforming the WEEKLY. In a few things we have departed from the usual plan of the regular Board, but the need of this is evident in consideration of the special material we publish. As an Association we stand for three fold development and in this paper we have devoted proportionate space to the physical, the mental and the spiritual interests of the students. In view of the large constituency of the distinctively Christian organizations, and in view of the importance of the spiritual part of every student's nature, we have added to the regular board a religious editor. This might well be made a permanent department of the WEEKLY and this editor a regular member of the staff. In his column would appear notes of the local Christian work and religious items of more general interest.
Espesial attention is called to the reference in the reports of the two Associa
tions as to the interest in Bible study. In many Associations similar results have been attained this year, and the whole revival of interest in the Bible is most gratifying' A student is not considered to have completed his education unless he is proficient in Bible study. The courses of study offered by the Association are most admirable, and thoroughly adapted to the needs of college students.
Every man and woman, boy and girl on the hill should go to the ball game April 21, and cheer the 'Varsity nine. This date is the event of the Kansas-Missouri ball game. Last year the Tigers won two games, this year Kansas must win two games. The game costs $118, the most of any game of the season. It must be supported by every student if it pays out.
There are far too many criticisms expressed in regard to the Weekly. The one practical method to follow when dissatisfied is to get on the inside and begin there any needed reform. When less than one third of our students value the paper and what it represents sufficiently to cause them to become subscribers, the management is not receiving due encouragement, and criticism is uncharitable. We urge especially that the members of our Association should show their gratitude to the Board for their generosity, both in regard to this edition and the ordinary large amount of space given to our work, by becoming subscribers and stockholders. A special canvass will be made during the following week and many new names should be secured.
CLASS LIFE.
The committee on Class Day of the Senior class met on Monday evening, and outlined the closing class-exercises. The aim of the committee is to make all the exercises distinctly class functions, and to make the closing days the most pleasant of their University career.
The outline comprises a class picnic, a can and gown party and class day, proper.
cap and gown party and class day, prop. The picnic will be at Lake View on Friday, May 11th. Class picnics have gone out of style in K U circles with the last five years, and the Seniors hope to reinstate a "good thing." The cap and gown party will be on the 18th and this will be followed by a midnight seance on the Hill.
The regular Class Day exercises will be on Tuesday of Commencement week.
The Senior class commenced rehearsals of their play on Monday night at North College. The play promises to be one of the best in the class history. The exact character of the play is not known but they promise a number of new "features."
The inter-class base ball season will open on the 1st with a game between the Junior and Senior Arts. Both teams have been practicing on McCook field the past week, and a strong team will represent each class.
Professors Hunter, Canfield end Lincoln have been discovered playing "one old-cat" by the light of the moon, preparatory to the Senior-Faculty game.

The Young Men's Christian; Association and Its Work.
A GREAT MOVEMENT.
ASSOCIATION
SOME
Don't Forget the Date
"The religious movement of the nineteenth century," as the Young Mens Christian Association has been characterized, originated in a prayer meeting led by Mr. George Williams in his own room in London, England.
LEADERS
The movement became organized definitely June 6, 1844, and has advanced steadily every year since that time. It was in December 1851, when an association was organized in Boston as the first upon this continent. The abnormally large proportion of young men in cities, the fact that they are largely homeless and outside of the church, these conditions furnish the field for such an association to exist to protect young men from the powers of evil which especially assail them.
At the present time more than seven hundred of our cities support prosperous Associations, while the work has also extended to railroad points, among the colored men, and even forty organizations among the Indians. This movement demands careful supervision, and this purpose is accomplished through the agency of the International Committee, which is located in New York City; forty-two representative men from various sections of the country are the members of the committee. A corps of twenty-five secretaries, who are trained specialists in the work, is employed to direct and generally assist the many Associations.
In Kahsa as in the other states the organization and supervision is similar to the national work. Our state committee is composed of seventeen of the most prominent men in the state including the Governor add Supt Frank Nelson. A state Secretary and an office secretary are employed for their whole time while an assis ant gives one half of his time. These men are engaged in directing the work in three railroad, ten city, and twenty-four college associations while a constant effort is made to extend the work into new fields Men are being trained to do definite Christian work while many more are being led into the Christian life.
The first college association was organized in 1858 at the University of Michigan and since that time the growth in this department has been most phenomenal. Wonderful achievements, have been wrought and successful associations are now wielding a great influence among college men in almost every institution in our county.
Association Leaders
H. W. Rose is well known by many of our students. His extended visit among us a year ago gave a great impetus to our Association and we owe him much of the prestige which we now enjoy. He is one of the International secretaries, having served one year as general secretary at Iowa State "U" and three years in the same capacity at Michigan after graduation at Beloit college. He was a member of Beta Theta Pi, was catcher in the regu lar nine and played half back on the eleven. He has had extraordinary success in the work as General Secretary. His field at present comprises all college associations from Chicago to California and he has charge of the summer Conferences at Lake Geneva and Pacific Grove, California
C. C. Michener another of the International secretaries well known at K. U. occupied the present-position of Mr Rose for several years, and now has oversight of the city and railroad work west of Chicago He is a graduate of Penn College, Oakalao, Iowa and after two years as assistant State Secretary of Iowa he was called to a position as International Secretary which he has most creditably filled for ten years. He is a man of unusual ability on the platform and is thoroughly competent to advise in all matters pertaining to A.siaa in work
JOHN K. MOTT, M. A.
JOHN R. MOTT, M. A.
The name of John R. Mott is revered by Association men of many countries. In 1894 he made his famous trip around the world which resulted in a union of the Christian work for students in sixteen

countries, in the "World's Student Christian Federation." In recognition of his able achievements Yale University recently conferred upon him the Master's degree. Some of the very best collegiate chairs in the country have been offered him, but he has chosen to devote his energies to the work of the Y. M. C. A. He has been one of the International Secretaries since 1888, and has perhaps exerted a greater influence over college students than any other man in the work.
