This year, the club initiated a policy: members of the faculty were invited to read their favorite poetry or prose selections to the group. In cooperation with VENTURE, the club sponsored an essay contest. Students were given the opportunity to submit reviews or critical essays, the best of which were given to VENTURE for publication in the spring. 28 The primary function of the Fine Arts Club has been to make the student body more aware of, and alertered t0 paintings and artists in general. Among the several exhibits sponsored by the club was the work of Mr. Bill Leizman, promising young Baltimore artist. Mr. Leizman also spoke to a group of the students in an informal get-together.
