More than a third of the college was
enrolled in Bible study last year. This
successful feature of the work will be
even further developed during 1909
1910. The object is to encourage men
in the formation of a daily habit of
personal Bible study The Bible to
thousands of college men today offers
the solution of problems of a most
practical nature and is a constant
source of inspiration for a Wholesome,
Christian life
The group system is to be used and
two courses of Bible Study will be Of
fered Glasses are to be divided into
groups of six to ten men with student
leaders. These student leaders meet
once a week in a normal class. In
this way the leader will receive the
best of preparation to lead the study
and discussion in his group.

this year,

ity," by Prof. Fl. p. Beach of Yale,

Association plans to extend the work
to Peiepscot. where some form of set
tlement work will be started. This
work has the active support of many of
the leading men in college, and offers
everyone an opportunity to use his tai
ents for the sake of others.
