At the first meeting of the club Irene Ephrussi and jacqueline Powell, two freshmen of French descent, were the speakers. The next meeting celebrated the six hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the foundation of the Swiss Republic. The annual F ete des Rois was held in january, and SPANISH CLUB First row: M.

The present staff fof hardy pioneer stockj decided that a college magazine, like most people, needs a personality and should represent more than just the backwash of classroom essays. It attempted to formalize this personality by drawing up a policy which it proceeded to amend with every new, unconforming idea or force of circumstance. VVishing to dissociate itself from the former literary publication, Kaiends, the staff changed the name as Well as the attitude. VVhile the contributions of the entire student body were wel- comed and encouraged, one issue was strictly a staff venture. There was also some experimentation with regular features, the most successful of which is Framing the Faculty. The staff says, Please judge the Dilettante on the basis of effort in the right direction rather than on any abstract plane of accomplishment. And it says, '4Cosh, but it's been fun. The staff members of Dilettante are Kathleen Neuer, editor, Hope Anscomb, associate editor, Frances Reiner, business manager, Betty Bernstein, advertising manager, Margaret Hazard, circulation manager, and Marjorie Campbell, art editor.
