When the University of Detroit was founded in 1877, a Club was established at that time which is still active today. That organization is the Speech Club. Its pur- pose is to afford students an opportunity to increase their sklll in- public speaking and to let them give verbal expression to their ideas. The Speech Club participates in the activities of the Michigan Inter-Collegiate Speech League. These l activities include discussion, debate, oratory and extemporaneous speaking. Supplementing these activi- ties, the Speech Club has many inter-mural debates. The University can be proud of their memorable record in competition.

46 Every Catholic College or University in the United States is a member of the National Federa- tion of Catholic Colleges. This year the University of Detroit reactivated itself in connection with the organization. The regional congress 'for the N.F.C.C.S. was held here at the University and over four hundred students from near-by univer- sities attended. The Federation intends to keep very active at this University in the coming years. lt plans many things including clothing drives and the giving of other assistance to needy groups in the city. The Red Cross Board is the representative of the student branch of the American Red Cross. Comprised entirely of students, it assists in carry- ing out Red Cross activities on campus. Visiting hospitals, and an annual fund drive may be in- cluded among their many worthy proiects. This year the University of Detroit Red Cross Chairman was the regional head of the representa- tives of colleges in the Detroit area. Those colleges that participate in and promote Red Cross activities include Mercy College, Marygrove College and the University. A Spring party was held for the patients in Children's Hospital as a ioint enterprise of the colleges.
