St. Paul's Society Needs Full-Time Chaplain

The work of the Society started very successfully with the annual reception for the students at the Christ Church Parish House. Accepting the invitation of the Rev. Prescott Evarts, nearly one hundred men attended, the largest number we have had in recent years. Mr. Evarts introduced the speakers; Mr. R. E. Bacon, dean of the Class of 1927; Professor E. H. Edgell; and the Rt. Rev. William Lawrence, Bishop of Massachusetts. The evening closed very pleasantly.

At the first business meeting held on October 1 was a letter explaining the work of the Society, and a program of activities was drawn up. These were subsequently sent to all the Episcopalian students in the University.

75 Social Service Workers

The social service work was well managed by L. H. Roots '26. By the first of November about 75 men were engaged in some kind of social or religious work in Boston and Cambridge. This is the most satisfactory work the Society has done this year.

Services of evening prayer were held during October and the first two weeks of November. During the last of November and December the Rev. Angus Dun officiated at a Holy Communion service held every Thursday morning in the Phillips Brooks House. However, the attendance was so small at these services that after the vacation they were discontinued.

Proposes Chaplain For Students

A great lack has been felt by all those connected with the Society in the absence of a chaplain for the students. There was no one who could give the necessary time to this work of advising and standing ready to help the students. Mr. Dun gave us valuable aid; but his time was largely taken up by his duties at the Episcopal Theological School. Sincere gratitude is due to him for the valuable aid he did give. The retiring officers feel that need of a chaplain who can give his whole time and energy to the work among the students.

On February 27 the officers for next year were elected:

President, J. P. Hubbard '26.

Vice-President, J. McC. Roots '25.

Treasurer, H. H. MacCubbin '26.

Secretary, S. W. Bell '25.

Social Service Secretary, F. P. Taft '26.  Respectfully submitted,  R. S. HUBBARD '24, President.
