Y. M. C. A. News.
We are to be favored with the
presence of “Bob" Gailey, General
Secretary of the Association, in
Peking during the last three days of
this week. “Bob” is undoubtedly a
man who has something to say and
we trust that everyone will
take advantage of the oppor
tunity to hear him in the Old
Chapel at 7:30 next Thursday even
ing.
It might be interesting to know
that Mr. Gailey is a Pennsylvanian.
He graduated from Princeton Col
lege and Seminary, finishing in ’9B,
and in both college and seminary
he was a leader in scholarship, in
athletics and in Christian work.
Three times he was chosen all-
American centre. Few men in
American football have surpassed
him. In 1898. he went to China
and for seven years was General
Secretary in Tientsin. He went
through the Boxer siege of 1900,
and led in the rescue work during
the Revolution of 1912. For the
past eight years, he has been Gen
eral Secretary in Peking. He en
joys the personal confidence of
Yuan Shi Kai as of most of the
national leaders of China. With
his wealth of experience and ob
servation, he makes an extremely
interesting speaker and his inside
knowledge of China and conditions
there qualify him to speak au
thoritatively.
He will make but one address
while here. The greater part of his
time will be given to private inter
views and visits to “frats”. All
out, fellows, Thursday evening 1
There will be a Bible Study
meeting at the Y. M. C. A, meet
ing next Sunday evening led by
“Bob” Reed and “Walt" Whet
stone.
The Civic Club.
The Civic club held its first
meeting for this year in Room 232
Engineering Building last Thursday
evening. After preliminary busi
ness had been dispensed with the
elections for the offices of vice
president and secretary-treasurer,
both of which are filled by juniors,
were held. The officers of the
club for the coming year are: presi
dent, S. P. Jones; vice president, J.
P. Rugh; secretary-treasurer, R. M.
Decker. The Executive Commit
tee consists of the officers and two
members appointed by the presi
dent, Messrs. Dimmit and Skillman.
Three members of the faculty who
comprise the Advisory Committee
will be chosen later. The president
was instructed to appoint a com
mittee to bring the recommen
dation made by the club at the end
of last year regarding the conduct
ing of all-college elections to the
Student Board and Student Council
The program for this term was dis
ctissed at some length and vaiious
imptovements were suggested.
Fot the benefit of those who are
unfamiliar with the character and
purpose of the club, it might be
well to state it is a student organi
zation, the aim of which is to create
a more general interest in problems
of good government and good citiz
enship. The membership is made up
of 60 upperclassmen, 30 seniors and
30 juniors. Applications for mem
bership are made through active
members, the signatures of three
being required on the written pro
posal. The non-payment of dues
or failure to attend the meetings
of the organization leave vacancies
in the roll which are filled by men
who have already made application
for membership. There are at
present vacancies in both classes.
The program for this coming
year promises to be a good one
both in interest and helpfulness
and it is hoped that all who are in
terested in this particular work will
take advantage of the opportunities
afforded them to get and keep in
touch with it.
