Thursday, October 11th, was the day set aside by tho Int. Com. of the Y. W. 0. A. as a day of prayer for young women. It was observed by the University association special prayer meetings being held. The cause was also remembered in the prayer meeting services of tho different churches. Tho "Volunteer Mission Band" of tho University was so fortunate as to secure Eobert E. Speer of New York city, for tho Sunday afternoon meeting in the chapel. "The Claims of tho Mission Field" was tho subject of Mr. Speer' s address which was thoroughly enjoyod by the 350 or more present. Miss Bessie Turner sang a solo before the address. F. F. Tucker, '94, pre sided at the meeting. Tho Y. M. 0. A., in accordance with tho custom of the University's homeless organ izations, has hitherto resorted to the chapel for its regular meetings, and the prospects are that it will continue to do so for some time. But it has profited by the new Con servatory building in securing there a de sirable room in which to hold various meet ings which have been necessarily somewhat nomadic as to place of meeting. The room is open to the members and friends of the association and every effort will be made to make it attractive and of much practical use. i
