This was the last regular meeting of the Y. M. C.

A. has done very efficient and earnest work in the University, and the most gratifying part of it is the unusual interest that has been manifested in this work by a good number of our students. Being the last meeting of this session, the floor was extended to those members of the Senior Class who cared to make any remarks relative to the work of the "Y." A number of men took advantage of this opportunity to express their appreciation of having a Christian organization of this character at Carolina and urged the support of all Carolina students in the future for the perpetuation of this great work. Guy A. Gullick of the Senior Law Class made an urgent appeal for the united support of every stu dent toward making the Y. M. C. A. an even greater organization than it now is. In his remarks he emphasized the vital importance of continued cooperation. O. S. Ulmer of the Senior Aca dmic class, recalled with pride his close connection with the Y. M. C. A.

Mliss Will Lou Gray, state supervi sor, was in charge of all the meet ings and everything was carried out smoothly. The assembly was held under the joint auspices of the University, the State illiteracy commission, the Civic League, the Y. M. C. A. and Camp Jackson. ''hirteen counties were repre sentel at the gatherng : Anderson, Cherokee, Chesterfield, Clarendon. I )orchester, Greenwood, Greenville, Laurens, Lexingon, Richland, Spar tanburg and York. The ages of pupils range from 15 to 61 years, and quite a number have been to school less than 75 days during their lifetime. Ihese meetings came as a result of a decided stand taken by the State at the recent gatherings of the legislature in regard to illiteracy over the State. Financial means have been rendere(l possible by the General Assembly and competent officials have charge of the work. \Vord conies fro mall over the State as to the wonderful work being done in these schools and that they are a success may readily be seen from the quick response of the pu pils under instruction.
