Like the musical organizations of all schools it is continually working at a disadvantage because of the annual change in membership. At the begin- ning of this school-year, therefore, the outlook was anything but bright, as new members, most of them Fresh- men, comprised practically one-half of the entire orchestra. But by constant PRO. o By DUETZMANN practice and frequent rehearsals diffi- culties were finally overcome, chiefly, however, because of the limitless pa- tience and efficient instruction of Dir. H. B. Duetzmann, who has served as conductor of the orchestra for some eighteen years. The first concert was held on Feb. 29, in the college auditorium and was repeated the following evening to an audience which filled the hall to capacity. The program on both even- ings was varied and enriched by songs from the Glee Club and by a few instrumental solos. The date of the next concert is June 6th and 7th, which occasion will constitute the orchestra’s final appearance in public for the Presentsscasou., Uherconcert numbers or the orchestra are ol a very eee worthy nature.

THE UPHIT ee AND BLUE d KHiterary Surivties “BHvery person receives two kinds of educa- tion—one which he receives from others, and one, more important, which he gives himself.” There is much truth m the statement that of all organizations at Col- lege an active literary society is the most important. W hen it is taken into consideration that the future career of most of us will be primarily a literary one, a career that will require ability in writing and speaking, in defending and refuting arguments, in conducting meetings, and in conversing and asso- ciating with many people, one will surely realize the necessity of training in such matters. Class work is too limited to offer much in this respect. This training we must give ourselves. In order to do this effectually we form societies. Here, through the criticism of others, our mistakes are cor- rected, through matching of wits, as in debate, our minds are sharpened, and through interchange of ideas our mental vision is broadened. Above all, inde- pendence and originality in work is cultivated. Failure to make use of the opportunities offered by a literary society may prove a handicap in later life. THE ROUND TABLE The Round Table is a senior literary society, composed of members of the three upper classes. It was formed last fall by the union of old Alpha Sigma Gamma and Delta Phi Sigma societies. The purpose of this union was not only to increase the membership but especially to gather all the senior literary talent of the College into one body, thus promoting greater progress and offering op yportunities along higher lines of literary work. Astde from the regular numbers given by the members, the programs are occasionally en- riched by lectures and discussions held by some professor. While overwork and pre-occupation has somewhat hindered the success of the present year, greater interest, application, and loyalty are looked forward to in the future. THE WEBSTERIAN When, a vear ago, certain enthusiastic members of the class of ’27 ex- pressed their desire of having societies for the underclassmen, there was doubt as to whether such a society would prosper. As a try-out a junior branch of the old Alpha Sigma Gamma was organized. It proved to be such a suc- cess, thanks to the able direction of the seniors, that 1t continued independ- ently the next year, adopting the name The Websterian Literary Club. The work consists mainly of parliamentary drill, lecturing, and speaking. A small library composed of scientific periodicals and books of society interest, such as Robert’s Rules of Order, is at the disposal of the members. Meetings are held three times a month. DELTA PHI SIGMA The Society of this name formerly had two branches, a junior and a senior. When the latter merged with the Alpha Sigma Gamma, the junior division retained the old name. It was organized in 1922. The three Greek letters of its name represent a phrase, too long and weighty to write out in full, but briefly meaning: “The wisdom-craving club of Demosthenes.” Re- alizing that the success of such a society « depends largely upon the interest in the programs and the frequent participation on the part of each individual member, these matters are the chief concern of the leaders. While at times an ebb in numbers occurred, still a rising tide invariably brought new mem- bers and confirmed the loyalty of the time-tried veterans, grown in service to the full age of—seventeen summers!
