Professors Wolfe, Hodgeman and Fling, constituting a faculty committee, cooperated with a joint committee from the Ohristiau As sociations to that end A settlement house was opened up at Ninth and Z streets where our students might meet and mingle with those who gathered there. So well was the work received that a more commodious' house was required, and at the beginning of the present year the settlement was located in the present pleasant quarters at 8lh nndXstieets. The last "'oar's faculty committee stood finan.ly responsible for all expenses incident to the work. Their appeal to the faculty was responded to so liberally that the opening of the present school yearwnv all expenses met and a balance in the treasury.
