If the Young Mens Christian Asso ciation is to rench a position of in fluence and power 'in the university it will bo necessary that it be an 'organi zation free from all college factions and political contentions. In years gone by a misunderstanding between the two controlling factions in the university has hindered the de Athletic Weld, velopmcnt of the association and Its work. This barrier was not only found in 'this work but in debates, athletics, anil other university undertakings. The last year has marked the begin ning of new things in this line, men and organizations havo understood each other better. The members of the Young Men's Christian Association should ho broad minded men and not narrow bigots. -The blame has been largely within our own ranks. The man who will stoop to the use of a Christian organization for the accom plishing of his own selfish end is not a 'man that deservest a place upon our rolls. May the new year be one of great progress in this line and if there Is any prejudice at the present time may it bo entirely destroyed. That the asso ciation may bo as was the original intention a university organisation Is our 'fondest hope. Let each man in the 'Institution be its friend, seeking ever to build It up rather than to destroy it. In 'looking over the columns of an Issue like this a person might be led to bolibvo that the strongest factor for good 'In the university was to bo found In the Young Men's Christian Associa tion. It is true that tbo association Is the only organized force among men bill that docs not necessarily 'make 'It Clio strongest infliumco.

YVhile much credit is duo the work ers for the good done during the past year, yet too much can not be said of the valuable assistance renedered the facultv, students, and friends who are not members. The association found in Chancellor "Bessy a good friend and valuable advisor, ever ready to do his part in the work among young men. Thodo occupying official positions about the buildings and campus have ever been ready to co-operate and it I.nke Geneva Is hoped that these friendly relations may grow into a deeper friendship in the coming year and that the associa tion may prove Itself more worthy of this confidence and esteem. The Young Mens Christian Associa tion ha just completed another years work and new officers and committee men arp now In charge. The year -which has just closed has not been marked by as many new ventures as the prcceedlng one but In quality and quantity of work the year has never been surpassed. The year will stand as one in which things were actually done. It has not been free from fail ures and mistakes but the valuable Bervlio rendered to the university en tirely over-shadows the short-comings of the workers and much credit Is due those now stopping out for the faithful manner In which they have labored. The Htudent body will soon be called Upon 'to elect 'five students to fill posi tions Upon the athletic board. These five 'mo"mbors avIH choose two faculty members, virtually giving the choice of seven of tho ten members Into the handB of tho students. Tho board's power In athletics Is plenary. It elects all managers, coaches, and some times the captains of the teams. It audits all accounts and supervises and passes 'upon all the details of atlilejtlc affairs.1 Tho 'rep if tat!

Nothing cah injure- It nioro than slackness ov semi' professionalism so prevalent in west ern "universities. Every member of the athiotic board should be chosen be cause of his flthcsB for the place. They should he persons who have the interest of the university at heart and who can be deponded "upon to protect her fair name at all times. I.ake Geneva The hopes of many students were realized last week when it was an nounced that E. Benjamin Andrews had heen elected chancellor of the Uni versity of Nebraska. The announce ment Was not unexpected, as it was known that Acting Chancellor Bessey is very desirous of resuming work in his own department. He has urged the board strongly for some months to make a selection. The meeting of the student body so hurriedly called Satur day gave sufficient evidence of the pop ularity of the selection with the stu dents. No outburst of enthusiasm for several years has been so great as that which greeted the chancellor-elect as hfc stopped on the platform. Wo bo 'lievo that the large mass of the student 'body Sincerely desires 'the acceptance 'o'f 'this offer by Dr. Andrews. Mc'Cormlek Theological Seminary, 'Chicago, April 13, 1900. Mr. iTJhn S. Moore, Lincoln, Nob. The Y. M.'C. A I presume, will soon 'be "outlining their policy for the new association year. I know from experi ence what a critical time it is, one 'that demands due and prayerful con sideration. As I have ever had at 'heart the wolfare of the young men of the university, permit me please to assume a part In outlining this new policy, by stating what 1 deem to be the salient points in your lasX years work and what 1 think ought to be 're emphasized In your ip'lans for the 'com ing year. First, and always first, the -winning of young men to Christ. Hecond, "Bible study. I see more plainly every day, the Importance 'of this in every students 'life. Third, care of the sick. A more prac tical work than this can not bo under taken. Fourth, the state-farm department. Enlarge upon it. It will 'reflect 'great credit not only upon the association,' but upon the Institution to take caro of these 'manly 'follows. 'If you do no more than this, saying nothing of the other branches of Im portant work, you will bo doing I nm suro, a groat work for the students of the old University of Nebraska. JOHN H. BOOSE. Mr. John S. Moore, 'Lincoln, Nob. I wish to write you this word of con gratulation upon the growth and actlv it of the usBonlution during the past year. Because of Its wide field of activity and Its wholesomeneBS such an enterprise must commend Itself to every liberal 'minded student. I am heartily glad that 'the day 'Is over when 'the 'University Y. to. '0.
