COLBY COLLEGE.

! For a number of years the student
Young Mems Christian Associations OF
the several colleges in the State were In
vted to send delegates to the State com
vention where special attention was. giv-
en- to the students and student problems
The interest in these conventions by the
students had increased to such an extent
that a special student conference was
called last year at Brunswick at guests
of the Bowdoin Association. The con-
ference was unique in many ways ana
convinced the leaders that a separate
| student conference should be held each
year for college association work. @e
At that convention the Colby organizes
ton extended an invitation to the con-
ference to meet with them at Watervilla
this year. This invitation was gladly ac-
copied and Pres. Vail of the Colby Asso-
citation is now hard at work preparing
for the delegates to arrive here on FRI
day next. Mr.. Smith, the State secretary,
said that there would be at least 100
guests from the other colleges. Some Of
the visitors will be entertained at the
dormitories and fraternity houses. There
are, however, a great number of guests
the college cannot accommodate, so the
people of the churches in the city have
gladly opened their homes, so all the del
egates can easily be cared for. Besides
the visiting college men there will be
representatives from the 10 leading pre-
paratory schools in the State. Those hav-
ing the convention in charge have pre-
pared an excellent program, as follows:
