Mr.. Hunt il now making . tour Of the
colleges OF the Pacific coast and Canada
He began In Southern California and Is
now working his way north. going from
here to Winnipeg. thence to Ontario and
Quebec. This morning Mr.. Hunt will
visit the university. holding services at 8
O'Clock by special request of the students
and faculty. This will be his last day in
Seattle, a. he leaves for the north tomor-
row. At the close of the meeting he said
TO Posr-ISTEILIaEScER reporter:
This il my first visit to the Pacific
coast. 1 find the Young Mems Christian
Associations ~ established out here are,
of course, newer. being established only
about two years IN the various coli
extent, relatively. not as strong a.
those in the East. However. they are
very promising in most colleges, with
earnest workers in each and good classes
of students In all. There il one thing /
heard before reaching Washington.
namely, Of the great number Of college
alumni among business and professional
have fully verified, and have been deeply
impressed with the prominence given to
education all along the Coast. These men
from all the great universities must natur-
ally foster high ideals in the rising genera
ton and make the universities in this new
country the best in the world.
There Is one thing to which I want to
call special attention. have noticed that
the individual coiiegemen have reunions.
These are grand, but think it would b
well to haye an annual meeting Of all col
lege men to discuss educational questions
OF the state and TO foster university extern
sions, giving help TO the local colleges and
to this new and important work. I am
sure that the Seattle Y. M. G. A. will be
glad to throw open its doors tor such re-
unions. In fact, it was this idea that orig
mated the very largely-attended meeting
that you saw this afternoon"
