UNIVERSITY DELEGATE RETURNS FROM DETROIT Gullick Tells of Experiences at National Convention Guy A. Gullick, member of the Junior Law Class, returned last week from the Interna al Convention of the Y. M. C. A., which was held in Detroit, Mich., this year. Mr. Gullick reports that this convention was one of the largest bodies of Y. M. C. A. workers ever col lected at one time in the United States. Besides the delegates, there were present generals, cabinet members, presidents of banks and railroads and other men of prominence in the busi ness world. "One impressive thing about the order of business was the way in which every topic brought up was clearly dis discussed and explained to the convention. There was no wrangling about anything whatsoever, and a vote was never taken without due time being given for thoro investi gation," said Mr. Gullick. One of the most important questions of the present day, that of labor and capital, was presented by Mr. Warren A. Stone, Grand Chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En gineers, and Mr. Homer L. Fer guson, president of the United States Chamber of Commerce. Both men agreed that the only thing that could ever bring the two parties together was the active principles of Christiani ty. Another interesting topic dis cussed at the convention was the work of the Y. M. C. A. overseas during the late war. Mr. Josephus Daniels and Maj. Gen. Summerall both praised the work done by the associa tion men abroad, and took the opportunity to express their thanks to the workers at that time. They testified that cases of abuse were not universal, but were the cases of inefficien cy of individual secretaries. "The most impressive thing about the convention was the reading of telegrams from over 23 foreign countries asking that the Y. M. C. A. be sent to them as soon as possible. The eyes of the world have been looking to America in the past for political and financial in spiration, but now they have begun to ask for the religious ideals of our country. And the purpose of the Y. M. C. A. is to go where men from civilized nations have never gone be fore." FIVE MEN SELECTED FOR DES MOINES MEETING Convention to Meet During First Week of New Year The Board of Directors of the Y. M. C. A. decided at its monthly meeting last Monday night that the University would send its full quota of men to the Student Volunteer Convention, which is to be held in Des Moines on December 31st, to January 4th. Our quota of five men was determined last night by the meeting of the Y. M. C. A. This convention of student volunteers is held every four years, the last meeting was at Kansas City. Practically ev ery college in the United States will be represented, and many of the schools of foreign lands are sending their full quotas. Arrangements have been made at Des Moines for entertaining 8,000 delegates. John R. Mott, Robert E. Speer and many other men fa mous in world affairs will be present.
