GEOLOGY CLUB The Geology Club was inaugu- rated at Boston College in the spring of 1962 to foster interest in the earth sciences. The organiza- tion is not limited to geology majors; and although most of its present members are students in the department, efforts are being made to attract others. Activities this year included geological and mineralogical field trips, discussion panels, lectures, and films. The Geology Club on the rocks of Devlin.

The specialized honors programs available to Boston College students have mul- tiplied the number of applications for admission during the past few years. An- nually, a group of resident students, who have been designated as Hostudents, have volunteered their weekend time and efforts to make the necessary provisions for these high school guests. This year, the Hostudent Program was directed by A. Michael Hanna, a senior, and moderated by Mr. James P. Mclntyre Assistant Director of Admissions. Their chief function has been one of service— to greet the high schooler, to arrange for his boarding and dining accommodations, and to orient him toward the campus life. CHESS CLUB Although interest in the royal game itself has endured unbroken in the dorms and in odd corners of the campus, it has been several years since the warriors of the board united in a formal club. Bi-weekly meetings in Mc- Elroy gave to all interested comers, students, faculty, staff, or friends, the opportunity to watch, kibitz, and play against each other. While such informal practice provides a start, the serious study of the game on a systematic basis, replaying the games of the masters, has provided the real meat of these sessions. Cul- mination of the year was the sending of a three man team to the national collegiate championships held over Christmas vacation in Philadelphia.
