N-I's Newman Club was organized in 1939 by the Catholic students on the campus for the purposes of creating a greater love for God. of bringing together all Catholic students at regular meetings, and of promoting a better understanding of the Church and its teachings. During the year, meetings were held at regular intervals to study various Church ques- tions, history, and services. Although the theme of the club is essentially religious, the social aspect was not neglected. Inactive since 1943, the club was reorganized last fall with the Rev. Father C. F. Veach as adviser. The year's activities included discussions on religious subjects, and several parties. Pago 26
