The Influence of the Young Men's Christian Association upon the Religious Life of College Students

In a previous article the author of this paper has discussed the characteristics of the religious life of the college students as illustrated in the case of certain universities of the western part of the United States. It is the purpose of the present paper to inquire what agencies are at work, and what is being accomplished toward a solution of the problems thus presented. We naturally ask first of the scope and influence of the work done by the college faculty for religious instruction and cultivation. In all of the colleges investigated, except four, regular daily chapel services are held. Attendance is voluntary in all the state institutions and the one independent college, but required in the church colleges. In the last two classes the services are almost if not wholly religious, while in all the state institutions save one a part of the service is of a secular nature. It appears that the chief reason for the introduction of short talks on general topics and other secular features in most of the state universities arises from a desire to attract a larger attendance and make the meeting an occasion of emphasizing the community spirit in the college. In but two of all the colleges is there an official Sunday service, at both of which attendance is voluntary. One other, however, required attendance at some church once on Sunday. In one of those having an official service the exercises are conducted by a university chaplain, in the other by a university preacher, usually brought in from out of town and who is usually engaged for a number of Sundays in succession. With these minor exceptions there are no facilities for public worship on Sunday provided by the colleges. Attendance by the students at city churches is a matter extremely l87

Religious Education Work in the Young Men's Christian Associations During 1905

The original study upon which this article is based was presented at the meeting of the Department of Christian Associations during the Y. M. C. A. Convention at IndiaD‐apolis, Ind., June 3, 1906. This study will be found published in full in the July number of the Official Bulletin of the Young Men's Christian Association of Chicago.

The Religious Life of the College Student

Whenever one attempts to study the religious life of any group of individuals, he is confronted at once with the intangibility of the problems presented. Religious experience is a matter that enters so vitally into the whole of life that any statement concerning it is liable to be partial and misleading. Moreover, on account of its being so bound up with the inner experiences of life, people discuss it with reluctance. Any investigation, therefore, into the religious status or condition of a given section of society must deal largely with the institutions or organizations through which this religious life is expressed. Statistics may often be misleading, and may fail to give an adequate view of the situation; but they do nevertheless show the tendencies, the scope, and in some measure the social results of the religious activity of the particular group in question. In the following paper it is proposed to discuss the religious life of a certain section of society. The field chosen is the state universities and certain of the larger colleges on a Christian foundation in the West and Middle West. The field is narrowed to these limits because the problems presented are somewhat different from those of the smaller denominational colleges of the same section, and of the large and small colleges of the East. The institutions investigated include fourteen state universities, four colleges on Christian foundation, and one independent endowed college. The male attendance at these colleges comprises approximately 65 per cent. of the undergraduate men students in the thirteen states represented, according to the I903 Report of the Bureau of Education. In a second article the agencies used for cultivating the religious life in these institutions will be considered, especially the work of the Young Men's Christian Association. Concerning the general religious atmosphere of these colleges some idea can be obtained from the statistics gathered by President

<h3>New Orleans Arrangement Committee Finds a Balance.</h3> The Committee on Arrangements met at New Orleans, May 14, and found that after paying all bills there would be a balance on hand of $1,700. This saving resulted from there being less expense than had been planned for some receptions, and from an increase in the receipts from the exhibits over that which had been counted on. Of this balance, $750 was unanimously voted to the Confederate Reunion Committee, with which to entertain the veteran surgeons of the Army and Navy at their convention. In view of the courtesies extended by the Young Men's Christian Association, the Touro Synagogue and the Carondelet M. E. Church, and in appreciation of the use of their meeting halls, $25 was voted to each. The remainder of the surplus it was voted to contribute to the fund being raised for the establishment of a branch of
