The Asso c iation attempts to touch the various ph ases of coll ege activity, and lays especial empha sis upon the religious aspect of life. This is the only college organization which seeks to accomplish this purp ose, and if for no other reason than this, every student should be com e a member. If she do es not, she misses one of the greatest factors for d ~ve l opment in a college education.
