Hollu Moore, Kantzer ZuKOR, BrACKBILL, WaLKER, The men ' s Philologian Literary Society con- tributes definitely to our preparation for life in that it brings us into contact with the literary, social, and political trends of our day. It brings before us in an up-to-the-minute re- view and practical summary, the latest projects and activities of this age of rapid progress and constructive activity. The expression of thought in public assembly is an important feature which has been of sin- gular usefulness in developing leadership and initiative. There is an opportunity to become acquainted with the rules and practice of par- liamentary procedure. Sir Francis Bacon has summarized our ac- tivities and benefits received therefrom in these well-known words: Reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man, and writing an exact man. Histories make men wise; poets, witty; mathematics, subtle; natural philosophy, deep; moral, grave; logic and rhetoric, ready to contend. The Philologian Literary Society prepares us to face life and carry out our motto: To know Him, and to make Him known.

Mi d- 3- I M. £ z y e 1 1 w 4-k i 115 alumni have gone forth to labor in these fields— having heard the needs their answer has been: Here am I, send me. Following the general assembly the students adjourn to the various prayer groups where the specific needs of mis- sionaries and natives are brought before the Lord of the harvest. The Foreign Missions Fellowship was formed to unite student volunteers, who are anticipating missionary service, and who are interested in presenting the challenge of missions to their own generation on the many campuses throughout the United States. More than 120 chapters have been formed in our country. The three types of membership include those who are definitely purposing to go to the foreign field; those who are seeking the Lord ' s will and praying about the place they should take in the evangelization of the world whether at borne or abroad; and those who will give missions a foremost place in their prayer, giving, and ministry here at home. It is a happy privilege to be united in this work of finishing the task— hastening His coming. Faithful is He who has called us, who also will do it. Deputation Departing Bulletin BoarJ Challenge

Grayson, Gitlin, Veliko To understand what is lovely To think on the good and the true; To know what is fine of the oldest. To learn what is best of the new. We are fellow-Philobiblonians In purpose united as one. Oh, trustworthy still shall they find us And true to the task we ' ve begun! The words of the theme song express adequately the aims of the Philobiblonian Literary Society. In order that members may receive full benefits from the advantages of such an organization, two meetings, of diverse character, are held each month. One meeting gives experience in parliamentary drill as various matters of business are discussed and disposed of. The other is given over to the en- joyment of literary programs, and every mem- ber is given opportunity to participate in such a program. As we study the lives and works of the literati, new appreciation of the various forms of literature is gained, besides a keener enjoyment of the finer things of life. Those who know the One who is the source of all truth and beauty have a special responsi- bility to the world of mankind. It therefore behooves us to do all in our power that will lend to development along cultural lines, in order that we may take our place with the in- formed people of the world and by first win- ning their respect, win them to our Lord. To this end the practical training given in the Philobiblonian Literary Society contributes much to our knowledge and experience, that we may be the better prepared for our life work.
