Basket- ball, baseball, football, and other sports were once again established. Scholastic and technical clubs and associa- tions were reactivated. The Interfraternity Council once again took hold to govern the relations among the fraternities. The Pickout Staff resumed its publication of the yearbook. The Text once again began meeting its deadline. The Textile Players resumed their dramatic activities. The Rifle Club sharpshooters once again faced their targets. New organizations were formed. Foremost among these was the Student Government, which through the Student Council governs all student activities. Glee clubs for both men and women were formed. The Inter- national Students ' Circle, comprised of students from eleven foreign countries, was established. A golf team was organized. The Nucleus, an organization of out- standing students, was created. During these hectic post-war years, further physical, academic, and organizational changes were brought forth. Bachelor of Science degrees were to be given instead of the previous awards of Bachelor of Textile Engineering and Bachelor of Textile Chemistry. The Institute was accredited by the New England Regional Council of Colleges. Many changes were made in the curriculum of the school and greater stress was laid on the social sciences than had hitherto been the policy. Field Trip Tex Show 21
