wists? is Elm? ORGANIZATIONS The Masonic Club The Boston University Masonic Club, organized in 1920, has entered on its second year with renewed enthusiasm. Many new members have been admitted, and the constructive work which has been accomplished assures the permanence of the club. There have been several get-together meetings thus far this year which have been well attended. ' During the week before Christmas the club held a smoker at the B.U. Union. There was such a large number present that it taxed the capacity of the Union meeting hall. Dr. Perrin of College of Liberal Arts, and Dean Lord of College of Business Administration, were among the interesting speakers. All had a mighty good time, and it was clear that the purpose of the club was successfully carried out in having social times that would pass a pleasant evening for its members. The club has now about fifty members, of whom live are Shriners, three Knights Templars, and four having the thirty-second degree. This record is unusual for a group of college men, and Boston University should be proud of its large representation in such an organization as the Masons. The club was formed for the purpose of getting together socially and to promote fraternal affiliations among the Masons during their college career. With many men attending Boston University, away from their local lodge, it is a fine opportunity for each member to form warm friendships with fellow Masons from other parts of the country. 215 4 1.

ORGANIZATIONS The Newman Club of 'Boston University The Newman Club of Boston University, organized in October, 1920, is an or- ganization of the male Catholic students of the university. - The purpose of the club is to promote a closer social and scholarly relation among the Catholic students of Boston University. The club has had a very successful year, having at the present time a membership list of one hundred and fifty students. Just before the close of the school term in May, 1921, the Newman Club was admitted to membership in the Federation of College Catholic Clubs as a member of the New England Province of the Federation. Joseph J. Benoit represented the New- man Club at the convention of the Federation, which was held at Cliff Haven, New York, the first week in July. At the first meeting of the club this year President Benoit outlined the purpose of the club to the new members, and The Reverend Father Fletcher, spiritual advisor of the club, delivered a short address. Meetings were held regularly once a month, the meeting being preceeded by a supper and an address by some person of interest. Presi- dent Murlin was the speaker at one of the meetings during the first semester. A num- ber of meetings were followed by socials with the girls of the St. Cecilia's Col- lege Club as guests. During the first term the Newman Club in conjunction with the Catholic Club of M.I.T. and the St. Cecilia's College Club conducted a lecture at which The Rev- erend Father Stinson of Boston College spoke on Joyce Killmer, the war poet. Uniting with the other clubs of the New England Province of the Federation of College Catholic Clubs, the Newman Club on February 24, 1922, conducted a formal dance at the Hotel Somerset. At the present time plans are under way for the admittance of evening division students to the club, and it is expected that by next year practically all departments will be represented in this organization. 217
