Newman Club a dl Implicit in anything is the ultimate form in which it will most perfectly serve its maker. The human being under right conditions will develop spontaneously and in time arrive at that goal. However, some means must be supplied to set the atmosphere and give the vital force neces- sary. Here the means is incorporated into three societies — Newman Club, Student Fellowship and Menorah — active in their varied interests and common goal. The members of the Newman Club were most impressed by an excellent lecture on Catholic Culture delivered by Reverend Edward Murphy, S.J., On other enjoyable occasions, talks were presented by Father Fitzgerald, C.S.C. of the Holy Cross Semin- ary, and Father David Hannigan of Quincy.
