- Federation Committee.—A pdster has
been put up in Taylor on which all those
who are thinking of going to the Eagles-
mere Conference next summer are re-
quested to sign.

For the benefit of those who have never
heard of Eaglesmere add the follow-
ing: this conference for college and
school girls is held at the end of June,
lasting into the first week of July. Bagles-
mere is in the central: part of Pennsyl-
vania. For further particulars, see the
circular of the East Central Student Con-
ference, which is on the Federation desk
in the C. A. Library.

Bible and Mission Classes.—Partly
owing to the Freshman Show and the bad
weather, the Bible and Mission classes
last week were not as well attended as
formerly. Some people, to be sure, prob-
ably found they were not as interested as
they expected and therefore stayed away,
but it seems more likely that the falling
off in attendance is due to carelessness.
If the college wants these classes, the
girls who, a few weeks ago, declared
themselves willing to attend, must show
their willingness now.

The subjects for next week are as fol-|
lows: H. Taft, “Isaiah”; A. Grabau, ‘“The
Miracles of Christ”; Miss Applebee, “Wit-
nesses of the Doctrines of Christ’; R.|
Sato, “Japanese Women”; Mrs. Branson,
“Preventive Medical Missions—Hygiene |
and Sanitation,’ Mrs. Carroll Brown |
(Anna Hartshorn, 12) will speak on “Tu-|
berculosis and Methods of Preventing It.”

Finance Committee.—We have ai
ceived $50.00 from: the alumne since |
the last notices were sent out. Mount |
Holyoke is the only other woman’s |
college where the alumne belong to the |
Christian Association and pay dues. |
There are two great advantages of having |
them members; one is that it makes it|
possible for them to keep in touch with
the work of the Christian Association in|
College, the other that we receive their |
financial aid. We must not, however, be |
dependent upon their contributions, for)
they have many other interests out of |
college. Several of the alumne have |
resigned this year because their other |
demands were so great. We regret that)
they have felt they must do so and we|
thank them for their help; their letters |
which show their interest in the Associ-
ation.



REPORTS FROM VASSAR



The delegates to the Intercollegiate |
Christian Association Conference at Vas-
sar gave their reports at a meeting on |
Monday. Ruth Tinker first told the pro-||
gram. The Bryn Mawr delegates reached |
Vassar in time for dinner Friday night. |
Immediately after Chapel that evening |

| discussed. - The presidents also met to}
talk over board meetings, and on. Sun-
day morning there was a final devotional
meeting.

Then Mary Branson told of the finances
in the different associations. Most of
them have a budget which is larger than
ours in proportion to their membership.
They have no Finance Committee, so
their money is not pledged and then col-
lected, but it is either given in a col-
lection at Sunday Chapel, or put in an
envelope which is collected at the end of
the semester. Their money is given
about equally to home and foreign mis-
sions. In most cases the missionaries
whom they support are their own alumnze
whom they keep in touch with through
a Correspondence Committee. It is dif-
ficult to compare some of their other ac-

+



tivities, for they do not belong to the
Christian Association. At Vassar the |
work done by our Maids’ and Settlement |
Committees is combined in the Maids’ |
Club House, which is managed by the |
Students’ Association. At Smith the Em-
ployment Bureau is an important feature. |

It is in charge of the general secretary, |
who is a recent alumna. Wellesley and |
Smith both have general secretaries |
whose salaries are a. large item on their |
budgets, and whose aid they feel is in-
dispensable. Wellesley and Mt. Holyoke |
are connected with the Young Woman’s |
Christian Association.

Next Bleanor Dulles reported on mis-
sion classes which are conducted much
They have an enrollment of
about one-third the membership, which is
a slightly better proportion than ours.
At Vassar they have reading circles or-
ganized after the other classes, at which
such books as those of Dr. Grenfell are
Almost all the classes are
graded according to the academic year,
and are often run in connection with re-
quired Bible Classes. The speakers often

got the outlines for their,course at the+

|Silver Bay Conference. There are nor-
imal classes for the leaders, which are
taught by outside speakers. In addition
‘to these, there are classes to prepare
'girls for practical work, such as the or-
| ganization of Eight Weeks Clubs. These

are clubs to bring together the girls of |}

country communities by giving them a
lplace of meeting and some common in-
'terests. The canvassing for the classes
jis done by halls within a limited time.
Most associations subscribe to mission-
arv magazines, which are put with the
others in the sitting-rooms.
