zizlofgafe .Monde Holgate House made its first appearance as a formally organized open house in September T937. The house was named after Thomas Franklin Holgate, formerly Dean of Men, and twice acting president of North- western. The purpose of the formal organization was, simply speaking, to make the house something more than a hotel, to provide ways and means whereby the welfare of the group as such and the welfare of the indi- vidual members could be promoted. Toward that goal, under the leader- ship of Ray Williams, John Vincer and Hugh Reilly, the house has strived. The ways and means have taken the form of extra-curricular educational activities, social and athletic functions, etc. The house has had its share of Phi Eta Sigma men, Y.M.C.A., and Student Co-op men, along with a not too discouraging athletic record. The following men have attained prominence: Hugh Jennings, member of the Y.M.C.A. cabinet and the Northwestern debate team, John Vincer, chairman of the Inter-House Ball of l939, lrv Fink, member of Daily editorial board, and a second prize winner in the Kirk contest of l94O, Frank Sayles, illustrator for the Purple Parrot, and Bill Houpt, member of the Junior Class Commission.
