Largest Student Organization on the
Y. M. C. A.
At the last meeting of the Advisory Board, September 20, 1899, a report was given of the work of the association up to that time.
The advisory board of the university Y. M. C. A. recommends the publication of the following report of the association Compared with the record of the first term last year, the development has been phenomenal. Such results are due to the hearty sympathy of the University faculty an earnest group of men doing work on twelve committees and wise supervision of the advisory board and association officers
H111.
The main work of the year was then in embryonic condition; subsequent nursing on the part of the officers and other active members has resulted in a very satisfactory development of the embryo into a living organism, the largest and most active which inhabits the hill.
Y. M. C. A. REPORT.
The leading activities of the association have clustered about the following lines of work:
1. Social: There has not been a week during this term but that some group of men was entertained by our social committee. This provision by the Association for the development of the social side of the students has brought to the officers many expressions of appreciation and to the Association scores of warm friends, while in general the result has been to popularize the Y M. C.-A. A Post-exam. Jubilee, a party for Freshmen and a series of neighborhood receptions, are among the events in anticipation.
2 Bible Study; The standard to which we were approaching at the time of our former report has been passed and up to date we have 104 men in Bible classes. A very able corps of teachers has been secured, to whose faithfulness the satisfactory results of this work are due. The teachers meet each week in a normal class, under the leadership of Captaia Haskell, where they receive definite equipment for their work. The committee is now in the midst of a renewed canvass for men to join the Bible classes, which promises great results. Some work is being done in connection with the Sabbath schools.
3 Missions: A class in the study of foreign missions has held regular weekly meetings during the term. Twelve men are enrolled, among whom is Iasmi Kimra a native Japanese, who has been of great value to the class in the study of Japan: A native Persian will address the meeting next Sunday. A financial canvass has been commenced; the committee is securing weekly pledges and expects to raise $go for missions this year.
4 Pasorial Work: A large amount of calling upon the members has been done. The secretary attempts to maintain a cumulation record of each member of the Association, making some entry semi-monthly. The card catalogue has not been sufficiently used, although it has become apparent that there is great value in this systematic record.for the work of both the membership committee and the general secretary.
5. Devotional Meetings: A very great advance has been made in the work of this committee. The regular services Sunday afternoons have been wisely planned to meet the needs of University men; the large increase in attendance has been evidence that the plan is a success. The speakers at these meetings are always men of great ability; thoroughly fitted to address college men.
These meetings though small yet they mean the culture of the vital part of the organization and through their agency some men have hea led to make their first Christian testimony.
For the mid week meetings Thursday evening the student district is divided into four wards, with a sub committee for each which looks after the service in its own locality.
A series of presentations of the various life works by representative, successful men will be opened Jan. 28.
6 Membership. The cavavs for members has not been vigorously passed since the opening campaign in September. The committee has not been altogether idle, and is now entering upon a well planned work from which it is hoped to secure 100 more members before the Easter vacation. Two hundred and forty-five are now enrolled.
7 Convention: Our Association was represented by twenty-eight men at the state convention held at Ottawa November 16 to 19, and made a most creditable showing.

house continues to be of great value in the work. Besides the regular social evenings Friday and Saturday each week, the house is used on Sunday for committees and Mission Study class, Wednesday and Friday evenings for Bible classes and Thursday for one of the prayer meetings, while the members are becoming more accustomed to using the parlorists which are furnished with crookinole and carom boards and several of the current magazines. Perhaps the greatest value of the house is that it makes it possible for the officers to hold frequent conferences upon the work of the association. There is yet a serious handicap in the absence of any room for headquarters on the college campus.
9 The Association maintains close touch with similar organizations in other states and is rapidly gaining a prominent position among the largest associations of the country. The general secretary had valuable conferences last month with leading workers of the University of Minnesota, where this work is most thoroughly organized than at any other University in the middle or western states. President Tangman will attend a conference of secretaries in Kansas City Nov. 20 and 21, which will be in charge of the leading workers of the International committee.
Col. Hinton's Lecture.
Friday afternoon Colonel Hinton addressed the students of the University on the subject, "Kansas Historically." Of the famous war correspondents in early Kansas history, Col. Hinton alone survives. Among these famous men were Reall, Richardson, and Ridpath. It has been thirty-seven years since Col Hinton was in the state. He left Kansas in 1863, after the struggle was practically finished here. He was the first white officer commissioned to handle colored troops. Col. Hinton's lecture was about the issues leading up to the Kansas struggle. By his own investigations he proves that the southern policy for years before the war had been to bar the westward progress of free institutions. To bring them about the Indians were moved westward, discouraging reports about the West were scattered, and the army was filled with Southern officers. He then showed that the Kansas struggle was not a mere incident but the result of a long continued policy. The lecturer paid high compliments to Senator Benton and contrasted his life with that of Calhoun. His address closed with a glowing tribute to the historical and present importance of Kansas.
