THE DANTE CLUB The Dante Club was organized in the year 1921, the six hundredth anniversary of Dante AlighierPs death. It was composed of a group of Liberal Arts students who, under the direction of Rev. Jos. C. Flynn, S. J., prepared the nDante Lecture on the Divine Comedy. The present members of the Club are: John Mussio; 14-; Victor Feighery, ,24; Charles Farrel, ,24; Peter McCarthy, Jr., '24; Thomas Ball, 04; John Thorbum, ,24:; Joseph King, 74; Joseph Meyers, '25; and Robert Ruthman, '25. The Lecture itself is a literary and artistic achievement. The introductory speeches and the accompanying expositions are the result of a half-ycafs research work. The illustrations represent the masterful conceptions of such geniuses as Corot and Dore; Beginning with the Inferno the Lecture carries us through the Purgatorio and finds its climax in the Paradiso. The Club,s reception by the Catholics of Greater Cincinnati has been exceptional. During the first year of its existence the Lecture was presented no less than thirteen times. Our leading academies have all heard and appreciated it. It is gratifying to the Dante Club to find in this supposedly godless modern world an appreciation of one who made Christianity the subject of his song? ' Page One Hundred Thirty-tlzrre

THE Xh CLUB The St. Xavier College gX' Club, composed of all men who have won letters in varsity sports, dates back to 1918, when a group of letter men, desirous of enlarg- ing the scope of sports at St. Xavier, banded together under the title of mFhe hX: Club and received recognition from the College faculty. Besides working for greater athletic endeavor, the Club seeks to bring about a closer union among the men who have made the coveted letter, even after they have left school. To this end meetings are held every month, together with a business session. In his graduating year each letter man is presented with a certif- icate, indicating the number of letters he has won and the sport in which they were made; Michael J. Hellenthal, as president, and Richard W. Weiskittle, as secretary, constitute the oHicers for the current year. Rev. Hubert F. Brockman, President of St. Xavier College, holds the position of Honorary President of the St. Xavier X:, Club, and represents the faculty at its meetings. Page On: Hundrrd Thirty-hw
