Young Men's Christian Association \Young Men's Christian
Association\
An organization for promoting the spiritual, intellectual,
social, and physical welfare of young men, founded, June 6,
1844, by George Williams (knighted therefor by Queen
Victoria) in London. In 1851 it extended to the United States
and Canada, and in 1855 representatives of similar
organizations throughout Europe and America formed an
international body. The movement has successfully expanded
not only among young men in general, but also specifically
among railroad men, in the army and navy, with provision for
Indians and negroes, and a full duplication of all the
various lines of oepration in the boys' departments. It
currently (1998) maintains buildings which usually have both
recreational facilities and dormitories for dwelling. It is
usually called by its acronym {YMCA}. See also the similar
organizations {Young Women's Christian Association} and
{YMHA}.
