Mr. Artley B. Parson, who will succeed Charles Ewald as general secretary of the University Y. M. C. A., arrived in the city Tuesday to assume his new duties. Mr. Parson's home is at Washington, D. C, but for the past four years he has been a student at Harvard University, having graduated with this year's class. While in college he identified himself with every phase of student life.

During his college course he was president of the glee club, played on the lacrosse team and was a member of the Theta Delta Chi fraternity. The past year he took charge of the extensive philanthropic work of the Harvard Christian association.

Mr. Parson is a typical association man, with a spirit of sincerity and earnestness which wins friends for him everywhere.

Last May he visited Ann Arbor and became acquainted with the association leaders and looked over his new field of labor.

It is hoped that great success will crown his earnest efforts in the association work.
