O'mAlllA BUSIUGS lLlB Timothy O'Leary President 208 One of the more fruitful activities of the evening School of Business enjoyed a successful year under the able and efficient guidance of Mr. Hyland, the moderator, and the leadership of president, Timothy H. O'Leary. The O'Mailia Business Club is an informed activity designed to broaden the students, knowledge of the business world by introducing men prominent in vari- ous fields of business activities. Since, in fact, the evening students are already professed in various particular business activities, these guest speakers' are specif- ically chosen by the club's program committee from many diversified fields so as to provide both technical and informal ideas of other businesses. With the help of these men, the aim is to stimulate and foster an active interest in business affairs in general, as opposed to additional class lectures in a particular major. Among the guest speakers of 1955-1956 were representatives of the American Stock Exchange, the American Institute of Accountants, the Port Authority, the Fordham Placement Bureau and various other fields. The meetings often in- cluded films shown by various speakers and other documentary evidence which clarified the particular discussions within the scope of the guest speaker's oration. A, question and answer period always followed each meeting so as to enable the members to express their interest in the discussions through various questions and problems that they have. Orderliness and smoothness of operation in the meetings held throughout the scholastic year provided optimum rewards for the club members. The activity of the O'Mailia Business Club ended with the again successful annual combined Business Club Dinner.

to ola BU IYIGSS CIUB The activities of the Loyola Business Club this year took the form of a very complete and varied program. Student participation at the bi-monthly meetings was fostered by talks given by the members of the club on their experiences in procuring jobs, investment analysis, the as- pects of a stock brokerage firm, bond underwrit- ing and advertising agencies. The members of the club also arrange field trips to the New York Stock Exchange. Much of the success of the activities of the Loyola Business Club for the 1955-56 school year is attributable to Raymond Rohne, Presi- dent. Along with Ann Egan, Vice President and Mary Kay McAllister, Secretary, and under the guidance of Robert Koerner, the Moderator, Pxay worked out a program which not only made the meetings more interesting but proved beneficial to the members who will someday take their place in the World of commerce.

Q - - --f J Y llllllf Prior to its inception in September 1955, we had no organization lzm'.n:mmm:z1IIiI lP1.gF..f?.4E'--ur, dealing solely with this important phase of our American way. nl It had been previously incorporated in the discontinued Eco- ME ,i,, n if A V ' I nomics and Finance Club. N Dr. Maurice Hart serves in the capacity of moderator guiding E ' the decisions of James Thompson, President, and John Hands- comb, Secretary. The primary purpose of the club is to stimulate student inter- est in the various fields of finance. One method of exciting this interest is to show the subject's importance in individual busi- ness and the economy as a Whole. Activities of the club include monthly meetings at which stu- dent discussion is pointed at financial problems throughout the system. In the first semester a trip to the oifices of the Hayden and Stone Brokerage Firm was initiated. Later in the year the vast New York Stock Exchange was visited by the club, lending a practical view to already existing theory. Although as of now the group is made up entirely of finance students, club membership is open to all attending the university. The discussion and experience will certainly prove beneficial to any taking advantage of this offer.
