A branch of the Newman Club was established at Saint Helena by a representative portion of the Catholic students on February lo, 1947. At this meeting an address was given by Father Thomas J. Walsh, state mediator of Newman Clubs. Father Walsh stated that the aim of the Newman Clubs is to build up a spirit of fraternal cooperation for those who profess the Catholic faith under the inspiration of the life of Cardinal Newman. During its two years of existence, the Newman Club was very active in scheduling a number of discussion programs on such topics as birth control, mixed marriages, and the Reformation. Those topics were analyzed before the club by local Catholic professional men. Father Ryan, pastor of St. Matthews, Berkley, officiated as the club’s chaplain and advisor and Miss Vincenza Mattiace acted as faculty advisor. SAINT HELENA EXTENSION [ 75 ]

To enable the students to more fully understand and interpret the happenings of the present day, to enable them to better prepare themselves for duty both as a citizen of their country and as a citizen of their own local community, and to further enable the students to both express their own views and opinions and to hear those of their fellow students — for these purposes there was founded on the campus of Saint Helena the Current Events Forum. These forums were held in fashion of a round-table discussion with ail participating. The topics were those which appeared to be of national interest and of importance to the largest number of those members present. Typical topics for dis- cussion were: The Third Party, the Presidential Candidates, the Marshall Plan and Universal Military Training. These men who attended these forums will, as a result of their active participa- tion, go forth from college better citizens by being “abreast of the times.” SAINT [ 77 ] HELENA EXTENSION
