Dr. Williams spoke on "The Dynamic Church and Religion."

Mr. R. M. Newton, chairman of the Y. M. C. A. committee on the Sunday night meetings, made a short talk considering the advisability of continuing the meetings longer due to the close approach of examinations and the closing of school. It was decided that should a meeting be held next Sunday night it will bp conducted on the campus in front of the chapel, beginning at 7:00 P. M. Mr. Charles S. Galloway, vice-president of the "Y", presided over the meeting. Y. W. C. A. on Retreat at Lake Conova The "Y" cabinet retreated last weekend to the lodge of Mrs. W. J.

The lake was fine for swimming and fishing, and nearby was a fine strawberry patch. The girls made full use of these advantages. u. 8. c.

The object of the survey is to find out how many of the students believe in evolution. By evolution they mean that all living things including man come from a similar or like origin. So far the survey shows that a large number of the students possess little knowledge of the subject. majority of these believe that evolution means that man descended from a monkey. This erroneous idea seems to have been started by William Jennings Bryan and at present it has a strong foothold on the campus. u. 8. c. Pat Leardo Elected Newman Club President Patsy Leardo was unanimously elected president of the Newman Club at its final meeting of the year last Thursday evening. This club is an organization of the Catholic students at the University.
