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.

Rifle and Pistol Club Embarking on its third year, the Rifle and Pistol Club still proves to be one of the most popular clubs at Suffolk. The Rifle and Pistol Club aims to promote shooting as a sport. It pro- vides competent instruction in the handling of firearms and the club serves to familiarize its members with the laws of the commonwealth as they pertain to firearms. Applicants for membership must be at least eighteen years of age for the rifle team and at least twenty-one years for the pistol team. Previous ex- perience is not essential, since former Marine Corps instructors explain and teach safety measures for both weapons. The rifle and pistol teams meet evenings twice monthly at the Common- wealth Armory. There the number of shooters is unlimited by range regula- tions. When the club was organized in 1947, its members purchased two trophies. one for each team. These trophies are awarded annually in May to members who win the club trophy matches.
