-The Brotherhood of St. Andrew is a Episcopal lay organization whose mission is to help men and boys within the Church and the larger Anglican Communion grow in their relationships with Christ through prayer, study, and service. Founded in 1883 at St. James’ Episcopal Church in downtown Chicago, the Brotherhood of St. Andrew established a student chapter at Trinity College around 1904. Popular with some of the undergraduates, the Brotherhood engaged in a friendly rivalry with the long-established [[missionary_society|Missionary Society]] in an effort to stimulate student interest in religion. The Brotherhood promoted Bible and missionary study classes and made students aware of social service opportunities in Hartford. The Trinity chapter of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew flourished for several years and, in February 1909, hosted a Conference of Churchmen of the New England Colleges on campus. However, a year later a chapter of the Young Men's Christian Association (Y.M.C.A.) was established and competed for student attention.+The Brotherhood of St. Andrew is a [[episcopal|Episcopal]] lay organization whose mission is to help men and boys within the Church and the larger Anglican Communion grow in their relationships with Christ through prayer, study, and service.

 Even though the [[luther_flavel_sweeten|Luther]] administration had exerted pressure on the Brotherhood of St. Andrew and the Missionary Society to merge and to conduct themselves more along the lines of the Y.M.C.A. (that is, to avoid adhering strictly to the work of the Church), neither student group was at all interested. Yet they struggled to remain a credible presence on campus. In fact, by as early as 1911, both groups did not have enough funds for inclusion in that year’s student yearbook, the //[[ivy|Ivy]]//. The 1919-1920 Trinity College [[catalog|catalogue]] was the last to mention the Brotherhood of St. Andrew and the Missionary Society (as well as the Y.M.C.A.). Even though the [[luther_flavel_sweeten|Luther]] administration had exerted pressure on the Brotherhood of St. Andrew and the Missionary Society to merge and to conduct themselves more along the lines of the Y.M.C.A.
