ising and if the past efforts are any indi- cation of what will be expected in years to come, Manhattan College will have an organization that will speak well for the work of the Civil Engineer. SOCIETY OF AMERICAN MILITARY ENGINEERS NE of the most prominent among those organizations recently re- instated on the Manhattan Col- lege campus is the Society of American Military Engineers. This society, initi- ated many years ago for the all important task of imparting technical knowledge to those students especially interested in the practical field of Military Engineering, was reorganized at the beginning of the present Academic Year. Its rejuvenation marked the termina- tion of a three-year inactivation, during which time the overwhelming majority of its members participated in the past world coniiict. Now, with the advent of the returning veteran, many of whom experienced first-hand combative prac- tice in military engineering, study in this extensive held can once again become a reality. During the past year, the Society has presented many instructive and interest- ing studies to the student. These studies appeared on the campus in the form of lectures given by officers in the Corps of Engineers and also by motion pictures, lantern slides and student talks. The S. A. M. E. is yet in its infancy at Manhattan. However, with its per- formance during the past year as an in- dication of what can be expected in the years to come, it becomes increasingly 2 evident that the Military Engineer will soon be one of the outstanding men on the College campus. SOCIETY FOR THE STUDY OF ELECTRONICS HE Society for the Study of Elec- tronics was established at the Col- lege in order to bring all those in- terested in the practical and cultural applications of electronic phenomena into closer contactg to further the develop- ment of these two Fields through the cordination ot the abundant talents of the student body and of the friends of Manhattan for electronic research, and to encourage those preparing for a career to select this limitless work as a desirable and rich Held of service to themselves and mankind. Membership in this society is open to all who have an interest in the study or furtherance of the vast science of elec- tronics. General meetings are held at regular intervals, at which lectures, moving pic- tures, demonstrations and discussions are offered. Special meetings are arranged for those who wish to avail themselves of considerable apparatus for the perform- ance of experiments in the many phases of practical radio. Tours of broadcasting studios and other establishments, for the purpose of studying radio operation and 'broadcasting technique, are organized whenever possible. These conveniences are especially intended for members who 'desire a practical foundation for the theoretical and highly technical work in radio and allied fields likely to be en- countered during college and in later life.
