The membership of the Young Women's Christian Association of M. A. C. extend greetings to all new students. "VVe are all striving toward the betterment of man kind through a higher education. Howeve r high our ideal may be we can reach it more readily 'by working in unison, and the asso ciation affords this opportunity. Then it is our loss if we: do not get in touch with its work. The devotional meeting is held every 'Thursday evening, in the reci tation room of the Women's building. (Plans are being made for an association r.oom in the near future.) These meetings are con ducted by members of the associations and occasionally by an outside speaker. The benefit and inspiration of these meetings are open to all. You will be asked to join in the fall term, but if for any reason you are overlooked, feel free to speak to the chairman of the membership committee about it. B I BLE STUDY Today a knowledge of the Bible is es sential to every well educated individual. It iSl valuable as a history, as a story and especiall y valuable in close relationship to Him, who is more than a friend to us: An opportunity to join classes is afforded at any time during the school year. MISSION STUDY Although there may be things we migh t learn of our native land, yet we cannot afford to lose sight entirely of conditions abroad. The miss ion classes, which meet each week, tend to develop this feature and make us nearer the well rounded college woman. 18 Everythinli You Want in Fu rn ishinl!s Godding & Abbey Popular-Priced Clothiers 213 South Washin!iton Avenue LE CLEAR Photographer Pleases all.
