Wil hive to a$ it, whether tey
wish or not, that the moral and
spritual:side of college life is' it
stressed as much here as at de
nominiational schools. D no
understand, however, that we
wish to disparage the work of
our efficient Y. M. C. A. secre
tary and. the cabinet, for such is
far from being the case. We
daresay that no college or uni
versity hAs a more consecrated
and energetic secretary or a more
conscientious cabinet. The fault
does not lie with them. It is al
most impossible for this small
group of men to maintain any
degree of interest among all the.
members of a student body as
large as ours.
In view of this fact, a body of
about fifty men consisting of stu
dents prominent in every college
activity have united for the pur
pose of cooperating with the Y.
M. C. A. in a campaign for bet
ter morals on the campus. The
campaign is not to last a week or
a month, but the whole year.
These men have agreed to sacri
flee time and pleasure and to
work toward this end consistent
ly. The plan is a good one and
deserves our commendation.
