MR. STRATTON SPEAKS AT Y. M. C. A. Discusses "The Y. M. C. A. Sec retaryship as Life Work." Mr. Stratton, secretary of the city Y. M. C. A., addressed the students in Flinn Hall Wednes day evening, on "The Y. M. C. A. Secretaryship as Life Work." With this address the series of life work lectures ended. In the beginning Mr. Stratton mentioned the fact that many of the offices in the Y. M. C. A. work are filled by incompleted men because many of the college students look upon this work as a minor calling. And in many cases men who have failed in other professions resort to the C'~ Y. M. C. A. work from lack of financial support. The speaker held that this ought not to be the case. Mr. Stratton stated that the 5 work is not very old, having Q been started about seventy years : ago. But today there are three thousand eight hundred men in the work. He also stated that he has been in the work twenty eight years. Each year new buildings are built and better equipments are provided for the old buildings. But still there are .undreds of towns that have above four thousand inhabitants that ought to maintain Y. M. C. A's. The Y. M. C. A. work is grow ing rapidly, is Mr. Strattons opin ion. And in the near future when the hundreds of towns and cities that have not now a Y. M. C. A. will fall in line with the great movement, there will be many openings for trained men, upon whom the success of the work depends. "The Association is the strateg ic center of the city," said Mr. Stratton. He also stated that the opportunity for getting in touch with the civic and religious life of cities is great, this mak ing men cleaner, broader-minded and more patriotic. The (qualifications that are re quired in a Y. M. C. A. secre tary are leadership, business ability, sympathy and common sense. The man who has these (lualifications, taking for granted that he is a christian gentleman, there is no reason why he should not wield a great influence in the city in which he establishes himself.

Broadus Mitchell, a member' of the class of '13 and the son of Dr. S. C. Mitchell, former presi dent of the University, is now with The Richmond Evening Journal. The following is an ex tract from a letter received by Dr. Wauchope from the young journalist: "I am sending you under sep arate cover a copy of a special industrial, commercial and social supplement printed today by The Journal. I worked on it for a month, and think it is fairly rep resentative of Richmond's great ness. As one who knew the city when it was less metropolitan, I hope the edition will prove of some interest to you. "The University is very often in my mind, especially since the spring days and baseball. Thru The State I manage to keep up a little, and I have had the pleas ure of seeing Prof. Moore, Prof. Baker and Dr. Morse at various times during the winter." The supplement mentioned is indeed an admirable production. It sets forward in an attractive and instructive manner the city of Richmond. The work is in many ways unique and would do credit to a journalist of many years experience. Broadus won many honors dur ing his stay at the University. He was at one time editor-in-chief of The Carolinian, and also The Gamecock. Ie was a splendid writer, having won many medals for essays and stories written for the college publications. Men Direct Field Day. On Friday morning Kizer and LaMotte, two of our wide-a-wake students, went over to Batesburg to manage a field day meet. This was the second experience these two men have had of this na ture. The Batesburg school is an un usually well equipped school, with an especially able faculty. Tho it was not in the State meet, by next year it will be amply repre sented. The field day meets are a pro duct of the State High School and Oratorical meet upon the va rious schools over the State. The teachers of the State have seen the invaluable results of bring ing the schools and pupils in touch with one another, and as a result local meets are being en couraged. W. J. Robbins, H. L. Dixon, W. A. Schiffley, and James De Treville, all members of the class, of '13, were visitors on the cam 'pnus last week.
