Guests were also invited to the final meeting, a tea at the Dunlevy lodge. - Bay Baird served as president of the club. Pi Kappa Delta A continuous flow of hot-air throughout the forensic season aids the development of fluent speech and argumentative abilities of future lawyers, preachers and teachers. Membership in this Delta chapter of the national forensic honorary society is extended to those who have shown ability and have successfully participated in various speech activities. With Dr. Allen and Dr. Baker setting the tempo, an active forensic program of oratory, extemporaneous speaking and debate was successfully carried out. .e .,. 'Ev-Q. Scientific Research and Sociahility At the end of each week's activities, Pi Sigma Gamma is opened by President Steve White. This organization of scientifically interested students, which clings to its tradi- tion of serving tea at the close of its meetings, is usually presented with a paper by a student, faculty member, or an individual outside the school prominent in the field of science. From their informal and varied discus- sions after the lectures and by their social and congenial nature while tea is being served, it is evident that science students are not limited or narrow in their thinking. Mem- bership is not strictly limited to science majors, and visitors are always welcomed. Inter-racial Fellowship Cosmopolitan Club members believe that above all nations is humanity and that the campus is the place for creation of racial cooperation and goodwill. Programs con- sisted of discussions and talks relating to national and international questions. In this national organization, membership is composed of not more than ten native born students to each foreign born. Highlight of the Cosmo year was the colorful Christmas dinner i11 an East Indian setting. In charge of this were Victor Sher- ring, student from India, the Bev. and Mrs. Ralph Templin and Miss Edith Randall-all recently returned from India. Another high spot was the annual spring banquet. Quentin Doty served as president. - Academic Groups-30 'W i c., F 'Ty atm , sg- . ., , -, .. .. .. t.. . l - iii.
