28 The Sphinx As a society interested in the contribution of the inquiring mind to knowledge, The Sphinx has had a good year. With the emphasis of the meetings on controversial issues, many heated arguments devel- oped; and although never resolved, more often than not the discussion resulted in a further development of the idea itself, in addition to the intellectual ad- vancement of the student. Among the speakers sub- Jected to the intellectual probings of the society were Professor William Greene of M.I.T.; Swami Akhil- inanda of the Vedanta Society; and Edward Stack- pole, curator of the Mystic Marine Association. Topics of discussion ranged from Hindu mysticism to archae- ology, 3000 A.D.; from the potentiality of the film as art form to the philosophy of the sea. The juniors and seniors elected into membership of the Rhode Island Alpha of Phi Beta Kappa, join the ranks of generations of students so honored for out- standing academic achievement. Since its inception in 1830, the Brown Chapter has played an important part in fostering intellectual development on our campus.
