slavic club The fall semester of 1950 brought an addition to the several language clubs now in existence at Harpur College. The Slavic Club is composed chiefly of those students study- ing the Russian language at Harpurg however, any person interested in general Slavic culture is also encouraged to became a member. It is the primary function of the club to cultivate an interest in Slavic culture among the students of the college and the residents of the Triple Cities. Mr. Bochnak, Russian instructor and advisor to the club made special arrangements to engage speakers for the discus- sion of Slavic culture, and also brought to International Night excellent performers from the community.
