M. C. A. formally opened its year's work with the reception to new students given in the armory last Friday night. The object of this reception is to .acquaint the new men with the various branches of student activity in which they are invited to participate. The associatio 1 is greatly handi capped by the absence, at this the opening of the year, of the General Secretary, Mr. F. E. Wilber, who has been detained'at his home by a painful accident and will not be able to resume his duties as secretary before October first at the earliest. The various committees, however, recognize that the burden of the work has passed to them, and their activities show their determination to get the work well started in spite of his absence. The Membership and Bible Study committees have both planned ex tensive campaigns and the deter mination with which the men are going to work is indicative of good results. Next Sunday evening will be given over to a Bible Study rally, and as soon as the enrollment is complete, books will be secured and groups organized. It is the inten tion of the association to continue the gruup plan which nas proven so successful in past years. The courses taken up will be explained in the pamphlets given out by the Bible Study committee. All who wish to do so are invited to join one of these Bible Study groups. The association will conduct a lecture and entertainment course during the present college year, the details of which will be given in a later issue. For the present it will be sufficient to say that the course as planned is the best ever offered by the association. Outside speakers will be secured from time to time through the college year to address the meetings on subjects of interest to college stu dents. The time and place of meetings will be announced weekly in the Collegian calendar. The association desires to have it clearly understood that the organiza tion is in no sense exclusive. It is composed of and conducted by students, for their mutual benefit. No one need await a personal invita tion to join the association or any of its activities. The rooms are for your benefit and at your disposal a.id the General Secretary or any of the active members of the associa tion will be glad to be of any possible service to you A Tragic Death The friends of "Phil" Partridge, 'O7, were shocked to hear of his sud den death near Old Orchard, Me., on Aug. 15. He and his financee were hastening to a ' , e at Old Orchard and were struck by a fast train at a cross ing on the Bcston and Maine Railroad. When he saw that an accident was in evitable he en , :.eavored to save his fair companion, and although she was severely injured, her life was spared. His last act was one of heroism. Partridge graduated from the Me chanical Engineering course last June and had bright prospects for a suc cessful future. He was prominent socially and a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity. On the football field he was a consistent worker and was awarded the "S". His activities in connection with the Thespians were especially noteworthy. For two years he took the leading part in the pre sentations of that organization with exceptional success. In the death of Philips Payne Partridge State has lost a brilliant son and a loyal alumnus. The Freshman class organized on Friday of last week, electing the follow ing officers : Pres. W. D. Barnett : Vice-Pres. B. C. Ticknor : Sec. Wm. Wright : Treas. W. S. Glenn.
