As one result of Prof. Drummond's recent visit to the American colleges, an entirely new plan of work is being carried out at Amherst. He suggested sending out deputations of students to the fitting schools and surrounding towns for the purpose of holding meetings for young men only. The suggestion was taken up by the students, and consequently over ten deputations, each consisting of four students-one from each class-have been sent out thus far, and have met with grand-success. They do not go in the interest of any organization; their meetings are held in halls apart from any church and are well advertised in advance by circulating invitations in the shops and factories. The results of the work thus far have exceeded expectations. Not only has great good been done, but the reflex influence has been felt upon the college, and many students have been encouraged to take up and continue the work.
