During the first half year work in the various religious and philanthropic organizations of the University has been carried on with greater success than ever before, and the outlook is unusually bright for a very successful and encouraging second half-year.
In the various philanthropic agencies of the Phillips Brooks House, Association, over 120 men are actively engaged in all forms of social and charitable work, which consists of Sunday school and library work, teaching, especially in the Social Union and in the Prospect, Union, and in many boys' clubs and settlements in Boston and Cambridge. In Phillips Brooks House the number of men enrolled in the various Bible study classes is larger than in any previous year. Three new classes, two for Freshmen, and one in the Law School, have lately been formed and several well-known men have promised to speak at Bible study conferences during the next few months, among whom are Dr. Layman Abbott, 90' and Rev. Henry Van Dyke of Princeton. Information about the various classes may be obtained from R. S. Wallace 1G., at Phillips Brooks House, or from C. H. Sutherland '06, Mathews 53.
During the first half-year about 250 pupils attended the various classes conducted by the Educational Department of the Cambridge Social Union, a larger number than ever before. The next term will begin Monday, February 6, and instruction will be given in forty-seven courses ranging from elementary work to advanced high school subjects. All these courses are conducted by men from the University under the general direction of R. N. Baldwin '05, head of the Educational Department.
The Cambridge Prospect Union has also had a very successful season, the various classes being will attended. A series of "smoke-talks," begun during the winter, at which interesting informal lectures have been given, will be continued throughout the year.
