FOSTEr (Law)........Spartanburg Columbia, S. C., April 13, 1912. This Issue. It is wvith pleasure that the memi bers of the GAMECOCK staff give four pages of this issue over to the Y. M. C. A. We hope that it will serve to further the interests of the Association. It has been iiecessary to "cut" all news items lown to the bare facts. We have tried to give in the two pages reserved a glimmering of the happenings at Carolina during the past week, although they are not given in detail. At the beginning of the present session the Y. Nl. C. .\. planned to have on Sunday nights in the Uni versity chapel a series of talks by prominent speakers and educators of state. To these meetings the peo ple and students of Columbia were to be invited. It was also decided to devote the greater part of the regular \\ednesday night gather ings to short talks upon topics of interest to the men of the Univer sity. The meetings in the chapel were a grand success. Secretary Mills, assisted by a committee of the Asso ciation headed by F. R. Hemming way, gave a splendid programnime consisting of addresses by several of the leading men of this and other States. Many of the good people of Columbia came to hear, for one dloes not get a chance every (lay to hear such brilliant speakers as Dr. Cromer or Dr. Snyder. Sonme of the others wvho sp)oke in the chapel wvere: Dr. H-enry Lewis Smith, Prof. TF. WV. Shannon and Mr. Louis J. Bernhar-dt. These meet ings were so encouraging that they are certain to be a p)ermanent p)art of the Y. M. C. A. progranmme. The gatherings at Flinn H-all were well attended andl were a p)leasinlg add(ition to the life of the studenCrts. They could come to these meetings andl spend a half an hour in hearing a thought fuli talk by some one who hadel oeriece the practical problems of life. A goodly number of these speakers were from the University itself-Prof. F. W. Bradley, Dr. Edward S. Joynes, Dr. Neff, Dr. Twitchell, Prof. Hand, Prof. Tate and Dr. Mitchell; and what is more of a cause of congrat ulation, two of them, Alan John stone and T. S. McMillan, were from the student body. The meet ings were well attended, even though they were held right in the busiest part of the college week. Indeed the number of men who at tended is a sufficient testimony of the value and inspiration to be got ten from such men as it was their privilege to hear at Flinn Hall. THE Y. M. C. A. '1'he University, with its able fac ulty, its excellent curriculum and its cultured society, its wealth of tra ditions, offers to the student an ideal environment. And yet with all there is something lacking-a need that books cannot answer and a longing that the studious life of every day is not designed to mleet. And this need in student life, this longing of the manly heart, the Young Men's Christian Association is striving to answer and to meet. It represents youth, manhood and, above all, the great philosophy of life for which Jesus Christ stood. This Association strives to meet the real problems of student life with a full measure of sympathy. think out the tangles and regardless of non creels and dogmas promote moral growth in a sane fashion. This Association does not operate in opposition to any church or denomi nation. Some of its meetings are held in the churches of the city and it lends a helping hand to the pas tors of the city who want to kee) in touch with the students of their flock. The leaders of this Associa tion strive to promote that spirit of co-operation which more and more is developing among all who work for the common good. The Y. M. C. A. stands for char acter, for clean manhood. It unites in the effort to weed out from young men's thinking false notions of what manhood means, to distin guish license from freedom. It stivi~es to bring to the studlent scien tiic knowvledge of his body, the last ing harm that dissipation andl ab)use brings it. Through its Bible studly and mis sion studly classes the Y. M. C. A. aims to bring to the student a studly of the wvorld's gre atest I:eligions, to compare- their philosophies and bring to his attention the progress that the religions of the wvorld are makcing in the dlifferent 'countries and is emphasizing especially that this is "The D)ecisive H-our- in Chris tian Missions." The social service extension of the Y. M. C. A. deserves mention herec. Studentsanre h)eginning toay to apply their talents to social prob lems, and the Y. M. C. A. is the school of social service, of social investigation. Finally, this Association stands for a practical religion, a religion which strives to put into actual prac tice the ideas of service which tile Christ announced two thousand years ago. Men grow by helping others grow ; men advance by aiding in the advancement of other men. And for these things the Y. M. C. A. stands a healthy, normal. religious growth. The Clinton Association is hoping to secure for next year the ainual State Bible and Mission Study In stitute. Should the conference be taken to the Presbyterian town the visitors can all be sure of the best of attention and the finest hospi tality.
