Y. M.C.A.Makes Good
Showing for Year
Much of the work nf an Institution
such as the Young Men's Christian asso
ciation cannot be put Into figure or
words, for tho deepest things of II fo can
not be tabulated. However, the asso
ciation bad a most successful year along
financial lines.
The principal revenue producers of the
building 'Itself are the dorniatorles, cafe
department and the por4lons of the build-
Ing used fur rental purposes. Two hun
dred and ninety-six dlfforent men lived
In the dormatorlen during the last year,
and approximately 2rti,u meals were
served In the cafe. The money obtulned
by t bme two departments combined with
the rental money amounted to 1'JK.Odl.Iil.
While some of the departments are self
sustaining, other features of the asso
ciation must be supported ulniust en
tirely from other sources.
The net receipts for the year were
$i;i,rrt.Ki and the general expense
amounted to 9fi7.lT7.SO. leaving a balance
of t4.40Q.l7 on the credit side of the
ledKer, which amount was paid on the
excess account payable 1910.
The present membership of the asso
ciation Is 2.07D. The educational de
partment has 70!) students, double the
number enrolled in r4 and IWtt, and
loo more than last year. Three hundred
men have been placed In positions.
The sum of $4,646 W wss contributed
to the foreign work of the association
at Shanghai, China, and an endowment
fund of e,0u0 was donated by Mrs. J. C.
Wharton.
