THE PRUDENTIAL INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA. HOME OFFICE: NEWARK, N. J. YALE Y. MG. A. A Wider Scope in All the Work this Fall. The spirit of earnest work so wide- spread in many activities at Yale this Fall, has been nowhere more marked than in the religious life of the Univer- sity. In Chapel the attitude of the stu- dent body is thoughtful and attentive. The meetings at Dwight Hall on Sun- days and Wednesdays have been of un- usual interest and have been largely at- tended. larger number of workers and more definite plans in operation than in any year in the past. The lasting influence of the talks of Dr. Watson, Prof. George Adam Smith and Mr. Moody, last Winter and Spring, became apparent at the close of the Summer term, when 110 Yale men, over 70 of whom were undergraduates, came together after College had closed to form the University’s delegation to the Students’ Conference at Northfield. The men were quartered together for ten days, from June 30 to July 9, at Weston Hall, overlooking the Connecticut river. Each morning and evening was given up to the discussion of methods of — Christian work and to platform ad- dresses by prominent speakers, the af- ternoons to athletics and other forms of recreation. In athletics Yale was un- usually successful, winning honors both in baseball and on the track. During the entire Conference the delegation moved as one man. Class lines were broken down, and problems confronting Chris- tain work at Yale were fairly faced. Over 50 of the delegates gathered in Dwight Hall the first Sunday afternoon of the term to offer themselves for active Christian work. The efforts of the Association this Fall have been practically the same as last year, with, however, a wider scope. Receptions to the entering classes of the Academic and Sheffield Departments on the opening night of the term were largely attended. President Hadley was present at both receptions, as well as at the reception of the Graduate and Law Schools on the two succeeding Friday evenings, and has shown in every way a most cordial interest in all the activi- ties of the Association. Several mem- bers of the different Faculties were also present. The religious canvass of 1903 revealed the fact that between 60% and 65% of the Academic and Scientific Freshman Class were members of evangelical churches. Many had had experience in active Christian work in the preparatory schools. Soon after the opening of the term the following men were chosen to act on the Freshman Religious Commit- tees: 1903—Dreisback, Chairman; Fox, Secretary; C. T. Brown, H. T. Clark, Goss, Hurst, Mann, McClintock, Moore, Ney, Richards, Schley. 1902 S.—Gris- wold, Kingsley, Norton, Runkle, Sooy- smith. Yale’s missions ‘all ‘report a | NEW FEATURES INTRODUCED. Besides its regular departments of work, the Association has introduced the following new features this Fall. Special receptions to the Law Depart- ment and to the Oxford League; a Bible class meeting from 5 to 5.45 on Wednesday afternoons, for men who are hindered by early evening engagements from attending the regular classes; a special Bible class on Christian evi- dences and the Divinity of Christ, for Japanese students, of whom there are about 20 present in Yale; and a Sunday School for boys at the Franklin Street Mission at 3 Pp. M. Sunday afternoons. The Sunday evening talks in Dwight Hall are taken down in shorthand each week and placed on file in the reading- room the following Tuesday. By a mu- tual exchange between the College Young Men’s Christian Associations, graphic charts of all the important foot- ball games each Saturday, showing each play in its relation to the others, are also filed in the reading-room. The employment bureau has secured work for over 50 needy students. Through the kindness of Mr. F. Wells Williams and others, about 20 volumes of current missionary literature have been recently: added to the library. Mr. Williams spoke before the Association, Nov 9, taking as his subject “Japan,” viewing the conditions confronting the mission- aries in the light of modern sociological problems. The Franklin Street Mission was opened Oct. 15, about 60 students going down from the University to as- sist in the exercises. The Mission now has a regular student superintendent, who has had experience in city mission work, and who lives in the building, thus relieving the Chairman of the committee from much responsibility re- garding details. October 16, the Class Deacons from 1902 were elected—F. A. Sincerbeaux, EK. L. Skinner, E. A. Stebbins and P. G. White. These four have been very ac- tive in Christian work. Skinner and White are leaders of the Sophomore Bible class, Stebbins of the Freshman Bible class and Sincerbeaux is Superin- tendent of the Franklin Street Sunday School. In connection with Yale’s Bi-centen- nial the Association hopes to publish in permanent form an account of the student religious life at Yale, from the beginning, treating the subject histori- cally and topically. A list of those who have served as Class Deacons from 1838 to the present day has recently been completed, and information is at present being gathered regarding all ~ Yale graduates who have served as home or foreign missionaries. In connection with the Bible study courses, Prof. F. K. Sanders will give a series of talks on successive Tuesday evenings, commenc- ing Nov. 28, on “The History and Growth of the English Bible.” The lec- tures will be open to all undergraduates and several will be illustrated by lan- tern slides.
