s. F. Wayburn, of Rockford, spoke on
The Presidents Relation to the Commit
tee Work" The president should be
sound, earnest christian man, Of good
business talents. in sympathy with young
men, and should not be a mere figure
head, but an active executive officer. He
is ex-officio member of all the commit
tees, and he must personally meet and adj
wise with them, and also aid the sec
retary. He should not be too officious.
There is danger of loo much president as
well as too much secretary. The presi-
dent should be most intimately connected
with the finance, real estate and devos
uonal committees. He should be par
ticularly close and familiar with the Sec
rotary and his work. He should be
friendly and encouraging with all the
members.

whether it was asking too much of a
president to pass one evening week at
the rooms.
One president said he thought it was
not too much, although he had his hands
full.

he was never better paid than when he
put in about all the time at the room
