THE K IGHTS OF OBLIVIO T was nine years ago, this year, that a group of C. C. students conceived the idea of forming a club which would stand for and uphold the best ideals in C. C. social life. These young men wanted an organization that would be exclusive in a way but not aristocratic, not so idealistic as a fraternity but more elastic in its conception of aims. They pondered the matter for a time. considered what needs the situation required, and evolved as a result the Knights of Oblivion. To begin with, they had the old Pan-Add question of majority and minority to deal with. They finally decided that the members of the new Club could be relied upon to act regardless of social leanings, and that they could act unanimously. So they made the new organization a body of twelve young men-six being elected from eachf society. Their plans has shown itself since to be incapable of improvement. The faculty recognized the importance of an organization that would take the lead in social activities and point the way, and they extended every possible favor to the K. O's. Since the founding of the Club, as old students drop out they are replaced with new ones selected from the society to which the out-going member belonged and the balance is thus maintained. It is the one organization that has never to be boasted by an appeal to loyalty or by the arousing of some sort of artificial pep. lts members are always on the lookout for the K. O.'s side of a matter. The prime social functions of the year have been staged by the K. O's. and their sister Club, the Ladies of Oblivion. These affairs include the annual banquet, and a line party tendered the K. O's. by the Ladies. Current history of the Club is supfrfuous as the organization has become too well known for that to be mentioned except by way of record: Its motto is: Love thy neighbor as thyself, but lcl his wife alone.
