THE NORMAL ADVANCE 29. In addition to social activities, the League hopes to undertake other lines of work. While it has not been definately determined just what this work shall be, the following have been suggested for consideration of the executive . committee in the near future: 1. To accumulate money as a nucleus for a building fund for a Studentst Building. It is hoped that before many years the students attending the Normal School may have access to such a building for all their organizations and for social purposes. 2. To raise money for the use of a room' at one of the hospitals, which shall be acces- sible to our students. 3. To provide a fund for lectures, etc., which shall be of special interest to our women students. I 4. To establish a'loun fund for women stu- dents. The enthusiasm and response with which the League has been received this fall promises much for the work of this organization this coming year. ' Since Miss Beatrice McClain, who was elect- ed president of the League for this year, is not in school, a new president, Miss Blanche Elliot, was elected at the first meeting of the executive committee. As the new president is a member of the Alpha Chapter, the Vice-president, Miss Anne Price, who is also an Alpha, resigned and Miss Bertha Bickhart was elected vice-presi- dent. With Miss Elliot as president, the League hopes to make this year one of the most successful in its history. At a second meeting the executive committee decided to engage Miss J ohanna Rossberg- Leipnitz, an active worker in an organization similar to our Womanis League, from the Uni- versity of Wisconsih, to talk to the girls at a reception to be given October 22. The League will give a Hallowe,en party on Saturday, Oct. 30. The members of the League who are not members of chapters held their first meeting Oct. 13, and elected Miss Chloe Siner, Miss Ruth King, Miss Coradel Wade, Miss Bertha Roll, and Mrs. Ethel Wells as their representa-e tives 0n the executive committee.

28 THE NORMAL ADVANCE K.- member. The programs have been purely liter- ary so far, as much time has been taken in re- organizing. A heavy line of work has been mapped out, however, in the different fields covered. The active members at this time are Messrs. Wood, Laughlin, Volker, Troth, Johnson, Cromwell, Henry, Kibby, Davis, Stalcup and J ared, and one graduate member, OiNeal. The society has planned several social func- tions for the term which will broaden and en- - rich the work. THE GERMAN CLUB The German Club of Indiana State Normal school met October 6, 1909, in the ASSociation room to re-organize. The following officers were elected: President, Laura Ellis; vice- president, Henrietta Way; secretary and treas- urer, Helen Frob; editor, Adele M. F ruechte. The program committee for the first week con- sisted of Henrietta Way and Thersa Parker. There being no further business the rest of the time was spent in singing German songs. The work of the term is to consist of bio- graphies, recitations, songs, and talks by the German instructors. . During the past year the meetings were held ' each Wednesday afternoon from 3:30 to 4:30. Professor Mutterer gave lectures on the man- ners, customs, and geography of Germany, which interested every German student. When he was not present the history of Germany was studied. The last Wednesday of every month a Koffie-klatsch was held to which all German students and the professors and their wives, who were interested in German, were invited. PHILOMATHEON Although only five members of this society returned to school this fall the work is pro-. gressing well. This term the society will study the life and works of Rudyard Kipling. The work this term promises to be very interesting and profitable if the enthusiasm now prevailing grows. The new members already taken into the club this term are Amelia Peters, Pearl Mason, Ruth Siner, and Edith M. Bader. SOCIETY ' WOMAZV$y LEAGUE During last year the Womanls League was reorganized and a new constitution adopted; Certain features of future policy were em- phasized in this reorganization and new con- stitution. For instance, greater emphasis is laid on enlisting the interest and active mem- bership of every woman student attending the school, particularly those who may not be af- filiated with any of the sections which have existed for many years. Too, the League, as re- organized, solicits the active co-operation and interest of women of the faculty and wives of the men of the faculty. In general the organi- zation is purely social in its purpose, but hopes through its activities tito strengthen the spirit of unity and sense of responsibility among the women students, and to be a medium by which the social standard of the school shall be made and kept highy Under the new plan the Sections that form- erly existed reorganized as. chapters of the Womanis League.- Encouragement is given to the formation of new chapters when such for- mation is approved by a committee consisting of the president and vice- president of the League and the Dean of Women. The League is divided in its activities by an executive committee consisting of one repre- sentative from each chapter, and five repre- sentatives of women students not members of chapters, and the officers of the League; and an advisory board made up of faculty women and wives.
