Excerpt from A History of the Young Men's Christian Association Movement in North Carolina, 1857-1888: Read Before the Twelfth Annual State Convention in Charlotte, N. C., April 21, 1888, and Published by the Executive Committee at the Request of the Convention We have the pleasure to announce that the students of the University of North Caro lina have established a Young Men's Christian Association. If parents and others who send young men to the University will give them letters of introduction to us, it will afford us pleasure to introduce them to the pious students of the University, and also to the pastors of the church to which they or their friends may belong. The Association hopes in this way to accomplish much good for sad experience has taught us that many pious and moral young men are led astray by falling into the company of the dissipated and the vicious when they enter college.
