vice committee of the Brown associa- | tion, is thus set forth by the leader: To be brother to some discouraged ' man.
 During the winter vacation the as-s sociation sent six delegates to the great student volunteer convention held in Rochester, N. Y, and interest in mis- sion study has received considerable impetus from the impressions which these men have brought back with them to college. I in the engineering departments of Brown, university continues to hold its own in the number of students for the ministry. There are now thirty | students who have the ministry in | view, and several are preaching each | Sunday in places near Providence. Thirteen of these are missionary vol unteers. A. recent census of Brown l university graduates shows a strong l tendency to enter Y. M c. A. work. 1 In New England Brown men are now, | acting as secretaries of the Young Mems Christian associations in Brock | ton New Bedford Bridgeport, Mel l rose. Providence and Cambridge, while four Brown graduates are secretaries of the international committee in New York city.
 David Wilkinson Smith, assistant in the department of Greek, was struck by a and instantly killed on Dec. 30 near his home in North Smithfield, R. l. The accident was due to mis-
 calculation of the speed of the car while MT. Smith was crossing the track MT. Smith was graduated from Brown in the class of 1907 taking both
 the A. B. and A. M. degrees in four years. Throughout his course he main tained very high scholarship and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa society in his junior year. He received final hon
 DTS and special prizes in Latin and Greek. At the time of his death, be- sides holding his position in the Greek department, MT. Smith was an enrolled ndid1ta Ina -Of of philosophy in Greek and Latin. A very wide circle in college of friends whom he had won by his rare friendliness, high scholastic attainments and a keen sense of humor mourn him as a man
 who will be genuinely missed. Walter Camps selection of an All-@ American football team for the season
 of 1909 includes Captain Regnier of Brown one of the ends. Sprackling, Browns quarterback, is given place
 on MT Camps third eleven.
