HELPED STUDENT WORK Instrumental in Raising Fund for Italian Work at Naples-$100 Given. The University Y. M. C. A. was instrumental last spring in raising the sum of $100 for the Italian stu (lent work at Naples which some of the State colleges of the South are supporting. It is proposed to raise this amount again (luring the pres ent spring. The history of this Italian work is interesting. Three or four years ago an American lady, Miss Leavitt, who lived in Naples, became greatly interested in certain of the students of the University there. She saw that, owing to the lack of dormitory life and of any sort of official control over the stu (lents and the consequent loss of all restraining influences, that many of the students became easily a prey to dissipation. She conceived the idea then of opening her home to the students that it might become a place where they could gather for innocent and even profitable amuse ment and recreation. 1Her plan met with the readiest response from the students, and the work grew so that last year an Italian, Senor Nicola (e Pertio, was employed to give his entire time to the work. At first the work was supported entirely by Miss Leavitt, but its growth com pelled her to ask for funds else where, and at Lake Forest in the summer of 1910 the Southern stu dent secretaries voted to undertake the support of the work. The build ing which they use is called the "Salotta," which signifies "students' home." and if one wishes to get an idea of its activities one has only -to think of Flinn Hall and all that it stands for in our student body. The only difference is that owing to the peculiar conditions of student life in Italy, and especially in Na ples. the need there is very much greater than is the actual need for such a work on our own calpus. It is hoped that every Carolina man will be ready with a liberal response when he is approached for his contribution by the committee that has charge of this work. In resp)onse to a call made last spring by Dr. \Veltner andl Mr. F'oster of the Olympia mill village, the sum of $50.00 was raised from friends andl alumni of the University to help pay for the further schooling of some dleserv'ing boy from the upper grades of the night school at the Olympia mill. The money was collected b)y studlents of the Univer sity and wvith the amount turnled over to Mr. Weltner a bothas been assisted (durinig this past year through the Southern Industrial school at Charlotte. Probably no one giv'er felt the amount he sub scribed to be any great dIrain on his tions added together have made pos sible a larger vision and a more efficient manhood on the part of a deserving young fellow. It is probable that a similai effort will be made this year to enlist the further support of the University's friends and alumni in this trulv practical enterprise. The Clemson Association has had another successful year, especially in Bible study, under the leadership of Secretary R. L. Sweei. The boys at Clemson do things in the right way, and the Association has the backing of the college authori ties in a splendid fashion. It is cer tainly to be hoped that a way will soon be found to meet Clemson's great need of a building, even their newly opened Y. i. C. A. room hardly meets the demands of their work. \Vith the present college year Mr. J. G. Briggs succeeded Mr. W. H. \Villis as Student Secretary for the Charleston colleges. Mr. Briggs has a large field-the College of Charleston, the Citadel, Porter Mil itary Academy and the Medical College, but he is making good in every way. The Citadel Association is rejoicing in its new room, nicely fitted up and furnished also with a piano and a couple of pool tables. This Association gave an excellent supper to the student delegates who were in Charleston in February at tending the annual conference. BIBLE STUDY CLASSES HERE THIS SESSION i(cONTINUD i.

Next year we may confidently expect a large increase in the enrollment. BALTIC CfOUMBh,COLLARC
