The Forum U THE fall of 1916 a number of men, realizing the need of forensic I training, met and wrote a constitution for a club which WSIS named G'The Forum. The purpose of the organization was for public speaking, L' f oratory, debating, extemporaneous speaking and literary work of vari- ous kinds. The club has a limited membership of eighteen members and all ap- plicants must be of collegiate standing, present a recommendation signed by the dean of their department and three Forum members. The meetings occur once each week and an open door program is given every six weeks. The charter oliicers and members are as follows: J. W. Darr., president, I. D. Pettigrew, vice presidentr, Will Bray, secretary-treasurerg P. K. Crawford, Robt. Hunter, F. W. Buooa, Fred E. Flader, Charles Jobes, Pa11l Saxe, 0. E. Spooner, N. B. Dalao and Glenn Shaver. Prof. Brown and Prof. Zuker are honorary members and, because of their assistance and interest, have done much for the club. During the year the following names have been added: Dan Knause, H. L. Garrett, John L. Mease, Russell C. Kerns, Mark Thomson and George Niman. D The club has labored under great difficulties because a number of the men have entered the service and some have been compelled to leave college for other duties. Some few have found the work too strenuous and have dropped out of the club. Today the Forum exists, although the membership is small, and regular meetings are held with the same spirit. '
