Soufhern Club HE Southern Club was organized in 1928 for the purpose of bringing the South to N. Y. U. and N. Y. U. to the South. The ideals of our University are so splendid that we are glad to carry them back to the Southland. On the other hand we believe there is a great contribution to be made by southerners to N. Y. U. This organization is desirous of fostering a spirit of friendliness on the part of those from the Southern Statesg of developing amiable co-operation amongst the students of the Southern States and those from other sections attending the Universityg and of promoting the mutual well-being of the students of N. Y. U. All students and faculty members from south of the Mason and Dixon Line are eligible for membership in the Southern Club. The club is a functioning organization in the winter timeg but operates mostly in the summer. At the spring meeting definite plans are made for the enrollment and general well-being of the students from the South who are registered in summer school. Special attention is given to students who are coming from the South for the first time. Early in the summer term a get-together meeting is planned for all Southern students and faculty members. In keeping with the traditions of Dixieland, the singing of Southern melodies and the eating of watermelon are the outstanding features at these gatherings.

It proposes to promote ac uaintance and common understanding among the members of the administrative an instructional staffs and among the student bodies of institutions for the professional education of teachers in the Eastern Statesg to promote understanding and cooperation between teacher-training institutions on one hand and public school authorities on the otherg to interpret to the public the significance of the servicc of professional schools for teachers and to present to the public a more adequate statement of the legitimate needs of these institutionsg to encourage the serious and constructive study of the prob- lems of normal schools,-teachers' colleges, and University Schools of Education, and lastly to develop a body of dependable literature on the objectives, the policies, and the programs of service of the professional schools for teachers. There is no set meeting time for this organization. However, an event that is anxiously anticipated by each member is the Annual Spring Conference. This year, the meeting was held at the Hotel Pennsylvania, New York City, on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, April 16, 17, 18, 1951. At these Conferences, the topics chosen for dis- cussion were limited in scope and very sharply defIned. Preparation was intensive, reports compact, and general discussion pointed. Although the name of the organization specifies Eastern States, membership to the association includes representatives from all parts of the country. This organization is one of rapid growth and constructive accomplishments. 134

Tinker of the intercollegiate Y. M. C. A. of N. Y. C., Miss Alice F. Stokes, acting head of the Department of Interior Decoration of Textile High School. and Mr. Herbert A. Fisher, jr., who addressed the members on subject concerning art education. The club dances and socials have been so successful that a most elaborate program has been arranged for the coming year. 136
