'Y.M.'s Adaptability Is Causing Re-Growth Of Group'—Rogers
The Y.M.C.A.'s adaptability to local conditions around the world is causing a remarkable postwar regrowth of the association. H.B. Rogers, representative of the west central area council, said Thursday night at a reorganization meeting of the University Y.M.C.A., at the Union. About 60 students attended.
Ned Linegar, secretary, announced appointment of a nominating committee for Y offices, consisting of Dr. Calvin VanderWerf, Neal Woodruff, Luther Buchele, and Wendell Nickell. They will make public their selections of candidates in two or three days, Mr. Linegar said. Election will be held at the May 16 meeting.
In an introductory speech, Dr. VanderWerf said, "Educators do fairly well in training men to push their way to the top of the economic heap, but we often fail to give them a deep concern for the basic issues on which civilization rests. The Y.M.C.A. rounds out that area of education."
Mr. Rogers described the worldwide activity of the association, including a campaign for funds to replace bombed-out Y.M.C.A. buildings, and assistance to displaced persons in Europe.
"The policy of the Y.M.C.A. in training local officials to take charge of the organization has paid big dividends in post-war months," he said.
