Q ' fy Q ' 94' A Joint Convocations The spirit of co-operation among the various institutions surrounding University Circle was intensified during the year by two mass meetings of the students and faculties of Western Reserve University and Case School together with students from the Cleveland School of Education and the Cleveland School of Art. These meetings were held in the Western Reserve Gymnasium. Armistice Day was celebrated by the first of these meetings and Colonel Ray- mond Robins of Chicago spoke on the timely topic, HThe Outlawry of Warfare, the Next Step in Civilizationf' Three thousand students of the educational institu- tions of the Circle were in attendance. 6'The Human Side of Chemistryf, portrayed by Edwin E. Slosson, was the feature of the second joint convocation of the year. Twenty-five hundred students assembled in the Gymnasium to hear the celebrated chemist discuss chemistry in its relation to everyday life. The meeting was held on Wednesday, March 21. These joint meetings bid fair to unify the interests of the various educational groups concerned and point toward a greater University. University Receptions 0nly two University Receptions were held this year instead of three as has sometimes been done in the past, but those two were very successful. The time of these affairs was changed from afternoon to evening, and the innovation proved popular. The first one was held at Haydn Hall on December 18. It was for faculty members only, and was well attended by all departments of the University. The second was held at the gymnasium on January 12. Four thousand invita- tions were sent to students, and it seemed as if most of those invited came. The gym was crowded, and everyone voted it a line party. University Receptions afford an opportunity for students of the various depart- ments to meet socially with one another and with the faculty. Such affairs are a great force for the building up of a University spirit that will carry Western Reserve forward to a greater future. 20
