In terfmternity Council HE youngest of all college councils is the Inter- Fraternity Council, founded in 1944 to promote the cause of fraternal groups and establish closer co- operation among the existing fraternities. The coun- cil, acting under the power vested in it by the mem- ber fraternities under its own constitution and by-laws, has carried fraternity activities from a state of keen, bitter competition to one of close, friendly cooperation. The council supervises freshmen rushing and pledg- ing periods, determining the dates the newcomers may be approached by the member organizations. The I. li. C. also weighs the applications of new fraternities, investi- gating the applicants and the merits of the petition. During recent years three new fraternities have been added to the original four.

D avid Spodick Con tin N 'l924 keen student interest in the advances of the medical profession brought about the establishment of a society devoted to informal discussion and study of current medicine. Growing rapidly, Contin soon became an instrument of political pressure groups on campus, and a complete reorganization was forthcoming. From open member- ship to the entire student body, the society decided to restrict entrance to only those students of the upper 10 per cent of the junior class, Bernard Batt '49 Myrton F.

SENATE L. lu r.-Reitnauer, Bethje, Sullivan, Miss MacGrady, Zanger, Calame, Harkavy, Lukacs, Plotkin, Berrigan, Nelson. Senate ITH the termination of the 1948-49 session, the Student Senate completes twenty-four years of purposeful and fruitful endeavors on behalf of the stu- dent body of the college, Amidst stormy beginnings, this group, then called the Student Council, was intro- duced to the campus in 1925 to promote better under- standing between faculty and student body. For two years the Council endeavored to coordinate activities, but then it slowly slipped into the back- ground as student interest was more occupied with Gray's Anatomy and Bell's Pathology. It did arise on a few occasions to contribute to the student's welfare, such as a concerted movement to abolish the ferry fare to Welfare Island and to act as go-between in disputes concerning examinations the day after college dances. In 1941, however, the group was completely reor- ganized as the Student Association with the constitu- tion as we now know it. Since then the Senate has maintained a foremost position in college life by co- ordinating all functions, and solving the many prob- lems of extra-curricular life in our school. With the cooperation of Dean Hetrick, all difficulties between the students and faculty have been settled with a mini- mum of friction and better understanding between the faculty and student body has been promoted-as the founders had so ardently hoped. The officers and members of the 1948-49 session were: MEMBERS OF THE STUDENT SENATE ' Seniors Percy Cecil Zanger, President Robert Bethje Harold Eugene Nelson fmziorr David Plotkin, Vice President john A.
