WILL BE VERY LARGE STRUCTURE

The Foundation Walls of the Y. M. C. A. Show It

GOOD COMMITTEE WORK

And a Determination Not to Run In Debt Is Making Possible the Home for the Y. M. C. A.

Over on N. Fourth avenue, opposite the court house, are going up the walls of a large building, covering a vast expanse of territory. Everyone who passes looks at it. Many are personally interested, generally in the pecuniary way, for these are the foundation walls of the Young Men's Christian association building, which are being rapidly erected, as the result of the indomitable courage and work of the committee that has been raising funds and the liberality of the people which have made it possible to begin the construction of a building suited to the needs of large and growing Young Men's Christian association. As time goes on the good work of the association is being more and more felt in the community and the interest of the people in the work and in the building will increase. The building has been a long time in the planning, but it was undertaken with the spirit of paying for everything when done and having a building when completed free from debt. The major par of the money is in sight, but there isa litter more to be raised and the committee raising the funds have much fewer people to go to for assistance. If you have been slighted, notify the Argus of that fact and you will be placed in communication with the men who have made it possible for such a fine building to be erected on the sit of old dilapidated buildings, to carry on a grand work.

Many have deplored the lack of unity in Ann Arbor society, the tendency to cliques. Here is a common meeting point for all. Here is something which works for the making of a better manhood. When approached by men who have no personal motive for approaching you, listen to what they have to say. Their work is for the good of the city, for the good of the boys and the young men who will make Ann Arbor's future.
