Neighborhood Work.

Every session a number of students,
chiefly members of the Young Men's
Christian Association, go out into the
surrounding churches and Sunday-schools
and give aid as teachers and superintendents.
This service, including
the University Hospital and some of the
city churches, as well as several places of
religious meeting in the country outside
of town and college limits, is called the
"Neighborhood Work." This service is
not only a boon to those who receive its
direct attention, but it also affords valuable
opportunities for training and growth
on the part of the workers themselves.
