IRST COLLEGE ~"
At HANOVER C0llEGE
Building Which Housed First College
Y. VI. G.. A. Is Still Standing
at Hanover.

Hanover, Ind, Nov. 16, With q
college Y. NJ. c. A. building on every
college campus in the country. or a
place devoted to that organization
the tiny Y. NJ. C, A. building that
stands on the campus at Hanover Col
lege, is no longer the great curiosity
that it formerly was. But once it was
the only college Y. NJ C. A. in the
United States, and 1t is the indirect
ancestor of all that followed it.
The college Y. NJ. C. A. movement is
of comparatively recent date. and it
was in the early eighties that the
Hanover students came together to
put up the little building which to
this day serves as the home of the cal
lege Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton. The college boys still regard it
as peculiarly their own, and jealousy
guard the right of repairing it and
keeping it in condition without out
side help.
How much the cause of Christian
education in the Great Northwest
owes to the first little Y. NJ. C. A.
building at Hanover will never be
known and can never be estimated,
but 1t is sure that the stimulus of the
first college building devoted to this
purpose was great one, with an
equally great moral effect. At least
Hanover was strongly influenced by
1t, an influence which shows today.
In the campaign for 100000 endow-
ment Of the college now going on, no
provision is made for a new Y. M. C. A.
building. Certain it is that no new
structure would ever be permitted to
supplant this pioneer building, either
physically or in the hearts of Hanover
men and women. But the endowment
will help in other ways, by increasing
to living wage the salaries of long
faithful professors, who are giving
their lives to Hanover at $1,700 a year,
and by perfecting the equipment to
meet the Hanover ideals of the high
est standard of Christian education.
