Jounb ee yjumma Jsotci Research papers, forums, guest speakers, an annual banquet — these are typical of our ac- tivities in Toynbee, DePauw ' s sociology club. Meeting once a month, the organization is open to sociology students who maintain a B average in . the Department. A long-time resident at DPU — having made its appearance before World War I — the club was named after Alfred Toynbee, the well-known English sociologist. One of the newest organizations at DePauw is our chapter of Alpha Kappa Delta, national sociology honorary, which drew up its constitu- tion only last year. Because of its small size, being limited to soc majors with an overall B average, Alpha Kappa Delta offers opportuni- ties for closer professor-student contact and makes possible frequent field trips. Now that the new students are fresh out of high school rather than fresh out of Uncle Sam s Army, and the number of veterans on campus becomes smaller and smaller, we hear very little about Gamma lota, the once-large serviceman s organization. Having served its purpose, Gamma lota has retired to an inactive status for the rest of its days. GAMMA IOTA Top Row: R. Henderson, E. Hall, N. Neff, Vice-Commander; G. Fibbe, C. Miller, J. Clark.

Under the guidance of the sponsor, Dr. Charles Perry, discussions are held monthly on subjects pertinent to Greek and Roman civilization. The Philosophy Club is open to any phil- osophy student of at least sophomore standing. Sponsored by Dr. Norns and Dr. Hildebrand, the group holds monthly meetings to discuss the philosophical aspects of current problems. One of the most interesting meetings of the year was was held early in the fall, at which the political situation was analyzed and several misleading predictions on the election outcome were ventured. The Shakespeare Club, sponsored by Mrs. E. H. Taylor, is made up of members of the Shakespeare Class and any other students who derive pleasure from the works of this famous English writer. Meetings consist of the discus- sion and dramatization of the writings of Shake- speare. CLASSICS CLUB. Top Row: Dr. Perry, E. Jones, L. R. Cooper, J. P. Simon, L. Byrne. Second Row: T. Barnett, C.
