Xaverian BOOk-Lovers Association GROUP of women who have always been interested in all Xav- erian affairs were glad to accept the invitation of the Xavier boys to act as chaperones for a dance, following one of the foot- ball games of the past season. The chaperones chatted, as is their Wont, discussing the possibility of using the cafeteria as a social hall. From this conversation this society has developed into its pres- ent proportions as the Faculty approved the idea of organizing the mothers, wives and sisters of their alumni and students as well as all other women interested in Catholic higher education so that they might substantiate their interest in Saint Xavierls College by direct means and tangible results. Since the library building was then oc- cupying the center of the construction program this group decided to use the funds gathered from their labors, in furthering this pro- ject, hence the Reverend Rector, Father Brockman, thought it fitting to christen the new society the uereriun Book-love'rs Association . The first meeting was held at the present library building on January 25th with a very large attendance. The members formulated plans for a card party held on February twentieth. Several prelim- inary meetings were held for this affair and at the close of this party the efforts of these generous women brought the unanimous opinion that this was more than a success financially, and the social success was even greater. Since this party there has been no meeting of the Xaverian Book- lovers as a distinct organization, but it lent invaluable assistance to those in charge of the May Fete conducted by the Athletic Associ- tion. It is hoped that this organization may prosper and become per- manent thus affording an opportunity for seeial affairs while at the same time furthering the cause of Catholic education.
