brewing over certain discussions ana hints
corning infectious diseases in the public

ference, which opened at Stiles Hall yes

reports of the work done at their several
institutions during the past year. The
total mum Der of students in each institu-
ton was given, what proportion of them
were confessed Christians and how many
have been converted during the past year
through the efforts of the Young Mems

retary Spears. He spoke at some length
of the relation between the college work
