into the territory surrounding the
college and assist in welfare work.
This movement has a double effect
for good, In the first place the col
lege men are able to do great deal
of good in the communities into
which they go, then in the second
place. it arouses an active interest
on the part of college men in the wei
fare OF rural people.
College Men and Country Boys.
The place where college men are
most effective in rural uplft work is
among the boys of small communi-
! ties. The influence which a group of
college men can secure over a crowd
| of ordinary boys is almost unbeliev-
able. Whatever the college men do
is bound to be popular, whatever they
| do not do is Just as certain to be dis
approved by the rural boys Only
the highest type of men are selected
for these deputations and in college it
is no little honor to be one of those
selected.
In Dorset the college men will ar
rive on Friday evening and will give
an entertainment in the village hall,
which will be composed of recita-
tions, music, a little farce. etc. On
Saturday the young people of Dorset
are to unite one and all to take the
Williams College boys on noun
tain climb. Saturday evening there
will be a meeting in the vestry of the
village church, to which no one will
be admitted excepting the Williams
College men and the young men and
boys of the community On Sunday
morning several OF the college men
will speak at the regular service
While we expect the Williams Col
lege men win do the boys at Dorset a
great deal of good we anticipate that
they will receive as much as they
give and we prophesy for them the
best time of their lives.
