F. lei 0 it performed a zlieroic act by rescuing Saint Josephis bookishness from oblivion. li Q And the class of '28, the class that brought it into activity, cherished it, and watched ' Tu 9 it grow into a purposeful, resultful activity, might well be reciprocally hauled out I - 7 of oblivion. 1 T ' r A Blessed Clet Unit was the especial instigator, we must admit. It would be a A s. 1 ,P ig serviceable prop, too-but there is no need of such. i . lf Uffl The purpose, of course, is to be well-read in the best modern books, to weigh 95.5 CSS' their merits and defects carefully, to build up an unshakable opinion of their authors, PL! characters and characteristics, in other words, to promote a cultural interest in ex- X45 Y' emplary modern 'writers and their works. H . II, . ,XX . T9 f 09 There are several intellectually attractive and hobby-attractive lectures on uThe fill fi? Purpose of Reading Circles, MHOW to Criticize Booksf' and ccWhat to Look for in 9 A Poetry. These furnished the only impetus necessary. They pointed out the direction .Q . K f to be followed, thereafter inquisitive minds poked about independently. ,QL T In May, an unscholarly, but very real, reward materialized in the guise of a tea.
