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.

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
