Organized thls past r year by Miss Bradford, the club has succeeded in fulfilling, in a marked degree, the mission conceived for it by the founder. The Dionysus Club owes a great deal of gratitude to Miss Bradford and is glad to take this opportunity to give expression to it. W' ell fitted by inclination and training to instruct in this work, she has entered enthusiastically into the exercises of the club. By her personal contact with the members and with her active participation in the work of the club, she has contributed largely to its success. The club was organized with the students of' Expression as charter members. All Oratory students are 'eligible to membership and five honorary members are chosen by the club each quarter. The purpose of the club is to study tl1e drama, its laws and technique, pre- sentation and all matters of interest which will increase our appreciation of the finest in drama. The club takes its name from the Greek god, Dionysus, for whom the Greeks first held dramatic festivities. The motto of the club is '6Vita sina litteris mors est, L'Life without litera- ture is deathf' May that motto prove the sentiment in the life of every member. W m
