SOCIETY OF AMERICAN MILITARY ENGINEERS THE Manhattan Collet;e Post of the Society of American Military Engineers was es- tabhshed on the campus to acquaint the stu- dents in Engineering with the actnities of his fellow engineer in the military service. Since many of the present students are for- mer members of the Corps of Engineers, the Society has served a most Liseful purpose in keeping alne the high interest in this spe- cialized held. During the year the Post at Manhattan has held se eral meetings v ' ith talks gi en by students. As the members ha ' e had ' aried experiences with different military groups, these talks ha e given society-members a more complete picture of what can be ex- pected of a military engineer. Further, these talks ha ' e provided a stimulus encouraging discussions that ha ' e made some of the meet- ings nn)St lively. Membership m the Society of American Military Engineers is open to all students of the college.

COLLEGIATE SOCIETY THE youngest and yet one of the fastest- growing organizations on Manhattan ' s campus was inaugurated in February when the Manhattan College Collegiate Society was formed. With aims including the social, cultural, and educational development of its members, the group elected officers early in the term. These were President Ralph Anoushian, Vice-President Austin Stuart, Recording Sec- retary Anthony Cupo, Corresponding Secre- tary Charles Caldwell, Treasurer Anthony Pintuaro, and Public Relations Director Wil- liam Cosulich. Although the Society ' s plans call for two on-the-campus dances and one off-the-campus dance per year, only one campus dance was held this year. This one, held on Sunday, April 13 in the Cardinal Hayes Library, was an encouraging success for the young group for more than fifty couples were in attend- ance. Dance Chairman Stuart spoke glow- ingly of the support extended the Collegiate So ciety and of its plans for expansion next year. The Society extends a cordial invitation to the entire student body to acquaint them- selves with the group by applying for mem- bership or by attending one of the Society ' s numerous meetings. 213
