Y.M.C.A. Holds Spring Retreat and Discussions
Meetings Over Week-End Bring Up Subjects on Life Ideal Set by Jesus
The spring retreat of the Y, M, C, A. for 1925-6 was held Friday and Saturday May 8 and 9, in Lawnestes. The original plan to hold the retreat at the Rotary host camp eight miles up from the base to be given up on account of rain.
The Friday evening session was held at the Phil Delta Thaïla theatre from 5 to 9 o'clock, and a pietin soup was served at 7 o'clock. Representatives of the Y, W, C, A, served dinner and participated in the discussion, building which was held at the Renley house from 9 a.m. until 4:30 p.m.
Life's Ideal Discussed
The discussion of the entire retreat centered around the ideal of life established by the life lived by Jesus, as a historical fact the phases of campus life that are out of harmony with this ideal life, and a program to increase the idealism of the campus.
Discussion arose that the fundamental honesty would seem to be ignored on the campus by popular attitudes toward cribbing snow checks, impaid bills and stealing of books and other materials. Campus attitude at an unchrist-like basis for international attitudes and the lack of fellowship with and consideration for races of other nations on the campus.
Programs were suggested to bring about better appreciation of our opportunities along this line.
Other problems on the campus that seemed important enough to take account of in building a program for next year were: disrespect for laws and barriers to fellowship such as inequality of wealth, and extravagance, fraternity and non-fraternity faculty and student race discrimination, and lack of understanding comradeship between men and women.
Throughout the meeting there was a growing conviction that the large majority of students on the campus who are nominally Christian fail to attend classes, even down by Christ. This is not because these principles have been found wrong, but because the Christians, including those taking part in the discussion did not have enough strength and maturity to live according to these principles.
Collins Was Present
About thirty people took part in the retreat, including officers, members and chairman of the Y. M. C. A committees for next year
George's "Shortly" Collins, secretary of the Fellowship of Reconcilations was present for the entire retreat and took part in all discussions, as though delivering no set addresses. His discussion of the problems taken up was very beneficial to the cabinin its formulation of a program.

Business Failures Are Few, Declares Thornton Cooke
Vocational Speaker Outlines Subjective Risks Open to Beginners in Fields
"It is not true that 95 per cent of all business men who enter business education are the resident of the Columbia National Bank of Kansas City, and K. U., graduate, in the final address last night of the series on selection of a vocation, offer to graduate."
"There are no such statistics. The act is that each year, on the average, somewhat fewer than one per cent of the population. Nobody has ever computed the average life of business houses, but it were 20 years—and it can be no more near that long—you can see that only about 1 in 500 business mortality,
"Financially, the majority of business men neither fail nor succeed. They are 'marginal' producers, and they just get along. By and by they sell out, or merge, or the proprietor dies and the business is wound up. Such businesses have a place in the economy, they are hopping on themselves in their small establishments than they would be working on salaries for larger ones—and maybe not. But they are not failures.
Speaker Lists Riska
Mr. Cooke listed a few of the "risks if business," after declaring that while outside influences had some effect, the greater part of the risks were subjective—within the business man himself.
Embling in business before mastering the fundamental; starting with too small capital; inexperience in choosing business associates; uninterested in owning a business; 60 per cent of the business failures; too many credit eggs in one basket; and lack of adaptability to changing conditions were mentioned by MJ, Cooke as possible risks. "If you had been making hairpins when bobed machines have set your machines to making barbed wire fencing?" he asked.
Cooke Quotes Eliot
Mr. Cooke quoted President Eliot of Harvard that modern business gives opportunity for an intellectual career, and pointed out how growth of business has made possible great things in art and architecture, siting gardens, and the Michigan Boulevard front in front of Chicago as examples.
"The fascination of banking is that it is a part of all other forms of business," said Mr. Cooke. "Some bank had a part in that Gothic tower that dominates Chicago's lake front; some bank helped move Kaw Valley wheat; we helped some farmer buy his plow; we finance the shipment of Kansas flour to Armenia. Under our hands come the documents that move of Jujuba and of Jiangxi Kinberly, the spies of Borneo; the copper of Montana, to the points where they shall serve the world.
