Over in the north east wing of our
new Mechanic Arts building Is a se
cluded spot where you can get a whilV
of home alunospheie. home-like
that you forget this is an Institution
devoted to learning and dignified
knowledge.
In this room is n long oak table in
the shape of a letter T, and in each
drawer of this table is tucked avvsij
tlie moat womlurfiil set of apparatus
,vou ever sitvv; knives, forks, scions,
p'o pans, cake tins, rolling pins, etc.
Here and there about tho room are
furnishings with which we are nil fa
miliar; n stove, cupboards, with dish
es and coouing utensils in I'lieiu, aim
ever.v "thing that makes a complete
modern kitchen. And a real live dish
pan luniks on a nail near the stove.
Who would luivo thought wc had such
things on our campus!
Hi -ides all tlii" iust mentioned a
lot of girls aie hiisj here and there
about their work. Their sleeves are
rolled to the elbow and till wear
stai ehy while apions. Sometimes n
stieakof Hour ariri.s beauty m a Hush
ed cheek as a gi "1 leans sinxiouslv over
the stove stirring something.
At the end of the jeur each girl will
Imvc a two volume cook book of which
she is the sole author. Not all depart
ments of the universit.v can turn out
so much liteiurv talent. The clise has
worked thing's down to a line point,
and cm'ii. know the weig-ht of a tea
spoonful of Hour, how iiiiinv grains in
a pinch of mi it and just what happens
when soda and vinegar are miori.
Cakes .in' made lv the foMowmy ic
olpo: A few eggs beaten to a stllVnoss.
some butter whipped to a cream, then
enough mifk to malic it thinner Hum

of tloiu. In eae baking powder lias
been forg"otitcn, scoop out some of the
Hour, ttikiug care not to get too much

Kent it with the hand, pump it up
w it'll u bicycle pump, and put it in the
oven, in which reeeptnele leave it the
requited lengah of time to cook it.
An.v one that visited this depinM
nient on Phnrtor Da.v will svaicel.v
forget those delicious biscuits mitl
s.vmp the g"irls giive us. This was a
fair cMiiuplc of what thev are doing.
This gear's work in the school of
domestic science has practicall.v been
an espetimeut, and I'lie icsults aeeoin
pllsheri prove that such a depattmeut
Ik needed in our university. I'racti

Society, In Its dovelopmoiK, had pro
duced u need for some urgiuiiiitloii
that could teaoli joung men with In
lliieneos which would lnsplio them to
live with higher Ideals. There was In
those days, as there Is now, ii large
elaos of men ami boys, in . were
riiifting- with little or no purpose In
life. .Some of these possessed a great
amount of onogy which must expend
It-elf in doing wrong1 If it was not
utilled fur doing- good. Some vveto
seeking aniuseineniti, and when they
could Hud none elevating, thevv would
look for it in inuto questionable prac
tices. And through other natural mi
sons Chi 1st inn influences weie not
leaving their stump on the ehm-.ioters
of these poling men who form such an
Import ii chins in human society.
I't was this vor.v deflnitw need that
called Into existence tlie Voung- Men's
Uirihtiiiu association. Juit like every
other great movement. It did not ap
pear in the developed .orm. It has
taken fifty .veins to evolve the organ
ization, which we know torin.v as- the
Voung Men's Phrlslinn association.
ISIS a I.omlon clerk, (ieorgo Williams,
began to gather around him a band
of .voung men for prsi.ver and confer
ence. Later the proprietors of the
store in which he worked, g-.ive them
a reading room over the store. They
si.on learned to enjoy the ..mo spent
there better tihtin in some more ques
tionable plc.iMiic icsort. And yi"t tho
dry goods clerk was all unconscious
of the futiiie vvot.d wide movement
lie was beginning.
The meeting-. lieio led to similar
ones elsewhoie. Soon rooms were
found necessary vVhich con be kept
open as places for men to g-nthcr wiien
not nt work. These leqiiiicd some
one to give his time to their oversight
and the general secretary was. em
ployed. Keuding rooms weie added
anil later social giimcs. The utli.etie
spirit of .voung tneii soon made a de
mand for a gymnasium and the phys
ical depart inont icsulted, with an em
plo.veri ollicer, the physical director.
Hv this time the oit.v aN-ociation had
nssiuneri a dellnite form, and1 the
movement had spreao throng-out
Hngland and lmri its beginuiuigs in
morion. It, ovtonslons hns pIikv
ocen a iaiid one. It was meetiirg the
needs which had culled i. into exist
ence. Strong mm . tilioroug-h busi
ness men were at its honri. I'erimi-
nent buildings won1 b ng- erected in
mil u j large cii.ca.
I.tit now a new futuie enters which
is to have a imirke efl'eei on its fu
ture. The gieat inoroase in ooni
ineroe had built up extensive lailioad
systems. The enrplc.ves of tihcse lo.uls
f i oni the nature of their work had be
come an isolated ehu-s. iiaviii"- no
place wheic the.v would be welcomed
when oil ilutj exeept resorts of a de
grading character, thc.v naturally he
en me wicked. Theie being- n existing-
social oignnialion ilm't was reai h
ing those men it appealed to the
Voung Men's Christian association to
attempt to meet their needs. ,A now
department wji- opened. Skillful men
weie placed in the railroad liehl to de
velop tho work. Todny e Imiidreris
of mill oud V. M. C. A. buildings scat

of the lives of the railroad men tes

other Held of work bean to iiinnifo't

colleges applied to the Young 'Men's
Christian association for local orgsin-
iiitlons. Slowly at Hist, then mote
rapidl.v this new Held developed and
another department was orgnnled to
the meet the needs of the .lieges.
Though from a Hnaiicial sdiitripoiuit.
the citj ami nulm.ul departincnts
hnve MirptiHRcri It. ,et In oxtonsion the
college department has lunl a inont ie
niarkahlc growth. From it haw uprumg
the .student volunteer movement for
foreign missions, tihe college Voung
Women's Christian association, the
ItritMi Christian college union and the
various other organiations which go
to make up the studeiiitfi Ohristiian fed
eration, which comprises the sUurienU
of all lands.
The next stop in the extension of
the scope of tho V. M. ('. vvork was
occaioned by our lcccint wur Avith
Spain. During Hie oivll wfir the iiewl
of some strong Christian orgaiiiatinn
wns felt in the army. Hut when the
demand became so urgent last spring
the international committee org-aiuVed
a new department la its alivndy wide
ly ex-tended work. H w called the
nrmy and navv Chris . i.nmnisslon.
Tents were sent to all the ' ne e.unpi
of our troops. 1 resident MeKlnliv and
the ann and niiv oflloors heartily
endorsed the movement. Some of our
host evangelists engngcriri In the new
work. Over I no competent , M. C. A.
hoci claries weie cinplo.ved. The tents
were furnished with tables Where the
soldiers might wilte. The single Item
of statlouei'.v supplies for .the camp
soon vvciui above $1,000 per wvok. L'n
tier the wise dliectlon of the sect eta
rles the V. M. ('. A. tout soon became
one of tho most popular things about
the cuui-p. it was here that men
came to write home, to hnve unlet
talks, to rest nnd to lit tend Christian
on loos. In times of imti.e 11111117,
wounded men have been eaied for at
the association ontt. At Santiag-o the
tout was pitched awa.v out on the tir
ing lino. And as I'lie movement has
adopted Itself as easily and iiatuiull.v
to at-m.v life as ii had to tlie fit , rail
load and oollogv work. The artn.v and
nav.v ( hrlstlan commission has boon
oignnlcri vvhoievcr I'nltori State-,
troops are stationed and it is not fash
to expect that the movement will ex

tho world within tho uox't riccnrio.ltha

Quite naturali.v the Ynuny Men's
(Miiistiaii siso'iation had Its beginning
in huge eitles For luo eonditlon
which called it into existence lire more
luti'tise in large centers of population.
It was eqtiall.v as natural that it
should next develop in the railroad
flea as the conditions had so iikiuv
point in common. Still there ate
conditions enoug.li which nrc not com

Thoiig-h it is a natural -oclal pro
duct and has had a natural growth,
it is nevertheless a striking fai'i ithat
it should have lieen extended throug-h-out
over fort.v countries in less
than fifty .vcars. There are now near
l.v seven thoiisjind Icm-iiI iissoeiation.s
