Der Deutsche Verein. INEpder interessantesten Einrichtungen der Schule ist '4Der Deutsche Verein der erst im Jahre 1904 sein ,Dasein bekannt machte. Er wurde von verschiedenen Professoren und von den Studenten des deutschen i Departments des Kollegiums organisiert, und seiner Nuetzlichkeit und Ausfuehrbarkeit wegen, hat er sich, unter den vielfaeltigen Gesellschaften, schon eine anerkennte Stellung und Beifall gewonnen. Alle Gleider der deutschen Klassen, oder alle! Studenten die einst Anhoerer des deutschen Departments gewesen, sind dem Verein wahlbar. Die Hauptabsicht dieser Gesellschaft ist: Uebung in der deutschen Sprache, und damit auch eine bessere Bekanntschaft mit der deutschen Geschichte, Litteratur, den deutschen Sagen, Liedern, und mit ihren haeuslichen Wegen. Die Versammlungen Jdnden jeden Zweiten Donnerstagabend um sieben Uhr statt in ihrem regelmaeszigen Saal im Hauptgebaeude der Schule. Bei solchen Zusammenkunften werden Programme von verschiedenen Sorten uebergegeben, Fragen werden verhandelt, Lieder gesungen, und solche andere Uebungen als das Kom- mittee vorbereiten moechte. Der Veranlassung nach, muessen alle Geschaeften und aller Wortweschel in der erwaehlte Sprache verordnet werden, und um dieses Regel stets vor den Gedanken der Gleider zu halten, hat der Verein' als Sinnspruch den Satz Immer Deutschv erwaehlt. 'X Nebst einem geschickteren Gebrauch der deutschen Sprache gewaehrt dieser Verein auch Gelegenheit fuer E ' . :gesellschaftliche Verbesserung und unbelastete Unterhaltung in einer Sprache die der meisten Gliedern nicht angeboren ist. .Teden Mai macht der Verein auch eine Vergnuegungsreise in den Wald neben dem dabeiliegenden See, und dann werden alle Gegenwaertige durch Lieder, Reden, Nackenfahren, und ein delikates Mal unterhalten. Dieses ist eine hoechst liebliche Zeit eins der thaetigen Glieder zu sein. Die Folgende ist eine Liste der vollstaendigen Glieder: Heinrich Schmidt Helen Muesselman Johann Franz Eversohl Lydia B.
