Le Cercle F-rancais has been for some years an established organization of Westminster, it has grown considerably in strength and importance during the last few years, numbering at present about one hundred students. During the war fresh interest was aroused and a new incentive given to the circle by the, wide spread desire for knowledge of French literature, customs and people which it has always been the aim of the association to cultivate. Last year we became allied with the Federation de I ' Alliance Francaise, whose headquarters are in New York and w ith whom many of our leading colleges are afTiliated. We have not yet been able to secure one of the Conferenceers sent out by the central office but hope to do so next year. The societv has enjoyed excellent programs during the year. Le Petit Jour- nal has furnished some excellent material for discussion and the phonograph, re- cently placed in the Romance Department, has gi en us the opportunity of becom- ing familiar with French intonation and accent. Le Cercle has purchased during the year wall maps of France, Spain and South America and presented them to the Romance Department. Vive le Cercle Francais. President - - ■ Raymond K.

Men ' s Glee Club The Men ' s Glee Club is an organization that does its bit toward upholding the honor of Westminster in a musical way. The success of the club the last two years has been largely due to the unusual ability and untiring efforts of Director Nielson. The season was opened by a home concert in the College Chapel, the last of March. After Easter vacation the club sang in a number of towns in the vicinity of Pittsburgh. Everywhere it received a hearty welcome. The men were royally entertained in every tow n and came back from their trip feeling that they had been fully repaid for the hard work and the time they had spent in training. There were about twenty men in the organization this year. Charles Ash- ton was president and Russell Clements, manager. The Men ' s quartette and Hub Weide added very materially to the success of the season.
