It has also continued to sponsor Roundtable meetings to offer a greater opportunity for intellectual discussion on a serious plane. Speakers were invited to talk on a topic in some specific area in philosophy, or its relation to other fields or current problems. This resulted in an exchange of ideas among the persons present, whether students, faculty or visitors. PHILOSOPHY ROUNDTABLE The Sarah Lawrence Chapter of the NAACP is one of the many groups of this kind organized in our colleges and universities. It is a unit of National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peo- ple, an organization founded in 1909. The primary function is that of informing students of the prob- lems affecting Negroes and other minority groups, and of advancing the economic, social, and political status of all oppressed peoples; our group hopes to further the development of an intelligent and ac- tive youth leadership through the college campus as well as in the nearby vicinities.

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB Falley, Reynolds. Mc- Eachern. Blackmere. A!- dred. Boyd. Kirschcn- baum. In this year of world wide insecurity and un- stable diplomatic relations, the need for mutual understanding among peoples has become more acute. The International Relations Club, a charted member of the Carnegie Endowment for Interna- tional Peace, recognizes the need, and during the past year has included in its agenda lectures, films, and reports which have added to the students’ awareness of current problems. By raising these issues, in open discussion, the IRC has objectively tried to clarify prevalent questions pertaining to the world situation.
