THE 1933 H WARRIOR .. THE OXFORD FELLOWSHIP President............Sherman Frederick Vice-President...................Vance Baird Secretary.......................George Flora Corresponding Secretary. Blaine Simon Treasurer............Newell Mendenhall As practical experience in his chosen work, each member of the group has led devotionals in chapel once during the year. These talks have been limited to subjects con- cerning student life and problems. Oxford Fellowship members have also conducted services or given talks in churches in Fremont and in neigh- boring towns. Sponsors...............................Dr. P. W. H. Frederick. Dr. James J. Raun That ministerial students attend- ing college might have a closer fel- lowship with each other and a deeper spiritual growth is the purpose of the Oxford Fellowship. The Fellowship holds forth for its members four ideals which repre- sent the four arms of the cross. They are: sincerity, service toward fellow- men. sacrifice for the members and spirituality toward God. Midland’s chapter of Oxford Fel- lowship which was started five years ago is a part of the national organi- zation of the group. There are three chapters in Nebraska. Each spring the activities of the Oxford Fellow- ships of Midland. Wesleyan and Cotner are climaxed by a joint ban- quet of the three groups. The Oxford Fellowship is valua- ble since it offers encouragement to students who desire to enter the min- istry and provides an opportunity for meeting some of the problems of the profession. D.

Zimmerman TO train college girls for leader- ship and Christian service is the pur- pose of the Young Women s Chris- tian Association, the only religious group for co-eds on the campus.

A ‘‘charm” school was carried out in the meetings this year, with well- planned programs on charm, charm and religion, art. charm in conversa- tion. music and charm and charm through good health. Meetings have been held every Tuesday at Beegle Hall. Perhaps the most interesting proj- ect of the year was Heart Sister week which was climaxed with a Heart Sister party on Valentine's day. Dur- ing the week, each girl performed thoughtful and helpful acts for her heart sister without her identity being known. The Y. W. C. A. with the Y. M. C.
