Press Club The Press Club of Sufiolk University saw its initiation in 1950 as an effort to establish closer relations between the working press and the student journalist. Although the club has as its members, students in the school of journalism, it is not exclusive in this respect, but encourages the members of the various college departments to join and actively participate in club functions. Officers of the club for 1950 were: Iohn Clancy, Chairman: Robert A. Devin, Vice-Chairman: Barbara Savini, Secretary: and Don Woodrow, Treas- urer. The club constitution was drawn up by Robert A. Devin and Victor Campisi. The outgoing members of the club wish to extend their very best to the remaining members and hope the plans for the coming year will in- clude an alumni press association.

The Newman Club The Suffolk University Newman Club has once more succeeded in furthering the purpose for which it was established. As a member of the nation-wide National Catholic Students Group, it promoted the spiritual, in- tellectual and social relationships of its members in our non-sectarian uni- versity. Under the spiritual direction of our new chaplain, Father Theodore C. Peterson, C.S.P., PhD., S.T.L., and aided by faculty advisor, Dr. Frank M. Buckley, Sr., informative lectures were presented throughout the year. Our delegates attended the local, regional and national conventions as members of the Federation of College Catholic Clubs. The featured functions of the past year consisted of a Communion Breakfast held on Sunday, Ianuary 8, 1949, at the Hotel Bradford, with Secre- tary of the Commonwealth, the Honorable Edward I. Cronin as guest speaker: a timely lecture on EUTHANASIA by Father Peterson: a lecture on MAR- RIAGE by Father Ioseph L. Quinn, C.S.P., New England Director of the New- man Clubs: and the year was highlighted by a Communion Banquet held on April 16. 1950 at the new Child's Old France restaurant. The club's membership drive succeeded in doubling the number of en- rollments.

The Philosophy Club The Philosophy Club of Suffolk University has enjoyed another year of stimulating activity. Established for the purpose of arousing discussion and thinking upon matters of primary importance, it has continued successfully to serve as an intellectual threading mill, wherein everyone may offer ideas to be spun into a well-knit, organized pattern. Various concepts, sophisticated and spontaneously sincere, have been offered by its members and guests, with man, his ideals and culture, and the problems arising from the conflict of dif- ferent ideals in that culture being the focussing point for contemplation and investigation. Socially, the club has always been interested in fostering the building of common ideals and the development of individuality in relation to our culture. Consequently, the doors are kept open at all times to new members and guests. Mr. William Sahakian serves as a sound, active, smiling advisor to the club, sharing his own learning and ideas with all. This year, Dr. Clyde Cur- ran has spoken to the club and guests, bringing to the eyes of all a thought- provoking topic-an important one in the world today-Experimentalism. This year the club received and accepted an invitation from the Boston University Philosophy Club to hear Dr. Gordon Allport of Harvard present a lecture on Psycho1ogy and Philisophy , to the Boston University Club. The Suffolk University Philosophy Club conducts its meetings within the school building in an easy, liberal atmosphere, once every two weeks. Active membership is offered to all students, with a minimum attendance of one meeting out of three being required.
