lars  per  year  will  defray  all  necessary  expenses. 
'l'he  college  afforcls  manual  labor  at  the  rate  of 
eight eonts per hour.  By this  one can easily earn 
ten  dollars  per  term.  Some  of  the  students 
obtain  special  jobs  either  in  some  of  the  dormi 
tories  or doing  ehores for  the faculty,  and as high 
as  thirty-fiye  or  forty  dollars  may  be earned  in a 
single term.  This, howernr, takes  too  much  time 
from  studies to be recommended.

The  main  course  of  self-support  by  students 
rests  in  teaching  winter schools.  The  long  vaca 
tion,  from  the  middle  of  No,·ember  to  near  the 
close of  February, offers  an excellent  opportunity 
for  this.  By  stl'ict  economy  and  hard  11:01·1.:  tho 
expenses  of  the  course  may  be  met,  but  it  is 
hardly  wise  for  the  student  to  do  this,  unless 
rompel1od  by  necessity.  From  one-half  to  t\\'o 
thil'ds  of  the  expenses  can  readily bo  earne<1  by 
the  resolute stullent,  without  keeping  him  at  the 
foot ol'  his class, and without  injury to his health. 

LITERARY  SOCIETIES~FRATERNITIES. 

Four open  literary societies and two fraternities 
have  been  established  by  the  students. 
'rl10 
meetings  are  held  on  Saturday  evening  of  each 
week,  in  rooms  that  have  been  fitted  up  by  the 
respective  societies.  All  are  welcome  to  attend 
the  literary exercises  of  the  open  societies.  The 
business meetings are held  with  closed doors  after 
the  literary meeting. 
'rhe training  derivetl  from 
society  work  is  very valuable  to  the stmlents  in 
'l'he  societies  are  very  careful  to 
many  ways. 
take in  only  those students who  prove themselves 
worthy, both morally and  intellectually. 

By joining  some  society  pleasant acquaintances 
will  be  formed  with  the  host  students  of 
the 
college.  Visit  all  societiL'S  heforo  joining  any.

NATURAL  HISTORY  SOCIETY: 
The Natural History Society holds  its  meetings 
in the  chapel  the  second  Friday evening  of  each 
month.  The  employes of  the experiment station, 
assistant  professors,  and  faculty 
join  with  the 
students  in  carrying  on  the work  of  the  society. 
In  a  scientific way  much valuable work  has  been 
done  by the organization.  Students  can  become 
members  by  paying  fifty  cents  into  the  treasury 
and  signing the constitution.  The scientific editor 
of  '!'he  Spec11lum  is elected by this  society. 

MECHANICAL  CLUB. 
This  society  is  comparatively  young  and  not 
now  so  well  established  as  the  Natural  History 
Society. 
'l'he meetings are held  once each  month 
on  Friday at  1  P.  M.,  in  the  Mechanical  building. 
'l'he  object of  the  society is  to  study mechanical 
and  engineering  topics.  The articles  and  discus 
sions  will  be  interesting  to  all,  especia'!ly  to 
students  in  the  mechanical  course.  By  signing 
the  constitution  and  paying  a  small  fee  any 
mechanical  student  may become a  membeT.  Shop 
work  has  become  so  arrang6ld  that  it  cloes  not 
conflict with this meeting. 

SUN DAY  EXERCISES. 

The president's Sunday morning talks in  chapel 
are  interesting  and  instructive.  Many  of  the 
(See 
s~uclents attend church services at Lansing.

ducts religious services  in  the chapel  at  2:30  P.  M. 
Bible  classes are held at 3:30 1'.  111. 

THE  YOUNG  MEN'S  CHRISTIAN  ASS'N. 

'11he  first  Young  Men's  Christian  Association 
was  organized  in  London  in  1844.  The  fil'st 
association  in  the  United  States  was  formed  at 
Boston  in  18fil.  There  are  now  in  the  Unitecl 
States  mid  Canada  about  1,300  associations,  with 
a  membership  of  200,000;  and  in the  whole  world 
nearly 4,000  associations,  distributed among thirty 
different countries.  The work is  under the general 
control  of  the  International  Committee, with  its 
ofTice  in New York. 

'.l'he  associations  in  many  -tates are  also under 
general supervision of a  State Committee.  Nearly 
every  association  has  a  General  Secretary  who 
lleYotes  his entire time  to the  local work.  There 
is  als<'I  a  State  Secretary  acting  under  the  State 
Uommittee.  The  International  Committee  em 
ploys several traveling seuretaries.  There are also 
the  College  department,  Railroad  department, 
and  separate  departments  for  work  among  Ger 
man  young men, and among colored young men. 

CO LLE GE  ASSOCIATIONS. 

There are now  in America Associations  in  more 
than 0300  colleges.  The work  is  also rapidly grm, · 
ing  in the colleges and universities or  Europe.  A 
1•isiting secretary has  been  laboring  for  two years 
in  the  colleetes of  Jnpm1,  China and  Indin, chietly 

15 

in  orgimizing  Christian  Associations.  Many  of 
our  college  associations  own  buildings  costing 
from 812,000 to 560,000. 

Each  summer  f'or  four  years  past  there  bas 
been  a  conference  of  College  Association  men  aL 
Northfield,  Mass.,  Mr.  Moody's  home.  Last  year 
500  students  attended.  coming  from  all  parts  of 
the  central, southern  and  eastern  United  States, 
from  Canada  and from  Great  Britain. 
'!.'his  year 
conferences  will  be  held  at  Northfield,  Chautau 
qua  Lake,  Lake  Geneva,  Wis.,  one  in Japan  and 
one in Scandmavia.  Thus it is expected that 1,200 
students will  meet  this  year  for  Christian confer 
ence. 

THE  ASSOCIATION  AT  T HE  COLLEG E 

'!.'he  College <Jhristian Union, which  was formed 
in 1871,  gave place  to the Young  Men's  Christian 
Association  in  1881.  The  advantages  that  have 
come  to us  from  being  a  part of  a  great  nationa l 
and  almost  world-wide  movement  have  been  of 
no  small  help  in  our work.  The Association  bas 
made  g reat  advancement  in  numbers  and  we 
believe the advancement  in the amount and char 
acter of the Christian work has also been great. 

OB.rECT. 
'.rbe Young  Men's  Christian Association has for 
its  principal  object  the  development  of  a  wore 
practical Christian  character  in  each of  its mem 
bers,  and  the  bringing  of  the  unconverted  to 
Christ. 

( 

16 

MEMBERS. 
'.!.'here  are two classes of  members, the "active., 
and  "associate."  The former  class are the young 
men connected  in good  standing  with  evangelical 
churches;  the  latter  comprise  any young  men of 
moral  character who  are  interested  in  Christian 
work, though  they  may  never  have  made  a  pro-
fession of  religion. 

PLAN  OF  WORK. 
'!'he  work  is  done  mostly through  committees. 
The names  and  duties of  the  committees will  be 
found in the Constitution of th& Association. 

MEETINGS. 

Two  meetings  are held  during  the week  in the 
rooms of the Association, a  prayer meeting Thurs 
day evening  from 6:30 to 7,  and a  general  meeting 
Sunday evening from 7 to  8  o'clock.  Members of 
the  Faculty  occasionally  conduct  the  Sunday 
evening  meetings. 

BIBLE  CLASSES. 

At  present  two  Bible classes meet in the rooms 
of  the Association at  3:30  P.  M.,  Sunday.  They 
are  normal  training  classes  for  the  purpose  of 
developing Christian workers. 
SOCIALS. 
A  reception  is  held  soon after the beginning of 
each college year, giving both the old and the new 
students  opportunities  for  mutual  acquaintance. 
One Friday evening of each month, the Associa 
tion,  with  the  assistance  of  the  ladies  of  the 
:F'aculty,  give  a literary and musical  social  in the 
Association rooms. 

17 

OUR  ROOMS. 

Our  rooms  are  on  the  first  floor  ~f  "Williams 
Hall, north side. 
'.rhey  comprise  the  Association 
room, fitted up  in 1889,  wiLh  the liberal aid of  the 
Faculty  and  students  at  large;  and  the  public 
parlors, refurnished this year by the college. 

MISSIONARY  INTEREST. 

Our  practical  interest  in  missions  has  been  a 
growth  of  some  two  or  three  years.  Missionary 
meetings  are  held  once  each  month, but nothing 
had been done in the lme  of  practical  work  until 
the  summer  of  1889.  A  plan was then formed to 
support an alumnus of the college as a  missionary 
in  the  foreign  field.  Some  $300  was  pledged  for 
the  purpose.  The  pledges  were  for  a.  certain 
amount,  to  be  pa.id  by  the  student  each year of 
his  course  and  one  year  thereafter.  But  inas 
much  as  we  would  need  to  send  our  man  out 
under the control of  some  denominational  boa.rd, 
it was finally  deemed unwise for  us,  an  undenomi 
national college,  to attempt such a  work.  At  the 
suggestion  of  the  International · Committee  we 
determined  to  devote  our  funds  and  further 
energies to aid in building an association  building 
in  Tokio,  Japan,  and  we  pledged  $1,000  for  the 
purpose.  Tokio  has  80,000  students and we were 
lead to  give  our  assistance  to  this  plan  because 
we  felt  the  great  need  of  work  among  these 
educated  Japanese  youth.  This plan was but for 
the  year  1890,  and  our  aim  is  at  some  time  to 
support an  alumnus in the foreign  field,  either as 
instructor in a  school or as an Association  worker.

This  city  has  a  population  of  15,000.  Besides 
'being  the  capital  of  the  State,  Lansing is impor 
tant  as  a  railroad  center,  for  its  manufactories, 
and as  the center of  an  excellent  farming  region. 
Here is situated the State  Reform  School.and the
