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.

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.
