Its original purpose was to train and drveloj) the literary ability of its members. Its activities have been extended, however, until now they are sufficiently varied to enable each niemiier to find ex])ression for his particular interest. The meetings, held twice monthly, afford a sympathetic audience and friendly criticism for the debater, the poet, the cartoonist, and soloist alike. The Columbian Orchestra is one of the finest organizations of its kind in the state, and has been in popular demand for public, as well as for school activities. Each evening ' s program has been a colorful, varied entertainment. The society is more than a training school for discovered or latent talents, it is one of the strong social units, teaching the true meaning of college fel- lowship.

The aim of the society is to train students for ;-reattr litirarv activity. The Lowell representatives on the ( leaver and Conference debate teams and in the Declamatory contest prove that the pur- pose of the organization has been accomplished in an excellent manner. The joint Christmas program given l)y the two societies is the outstjind- ing feature of the year ' s work. We hope this may become an annual event.
