GERMAN SOCIETY The German Society has, this semester., achieved the coveted and cherished title of 'Gthe foremost club in Harris. It is undoubt- edly the most popular organization of Harris clubdom, the excellence of its programs con- tributing not a little to this distinction. Discussions of the present political and economic situations in the mother country, Germany, formed the principal activities of the club. These informal talks were con- cerned with the various means of lifting the Reich from the serious decline into which it has fallen. Charles Terr, long affiliated with the soci- ety, in presiding over the group this semes- ter, was aided greatly by the faculty advisors. Messrs. Richard Heynich, head of the Ger- man Department, and Werner Miermann at the beginning of the term, found that more faculty assistance was necessary since there was so large an enrollment in the club. Therefore, Kurt Langsam, a new and active German tutor, willingly agreed to render his aid. Under three advisors the club has ap- parently prospered, and to them, as well as to the officers, congratulations are certainly due. Charles Terr ....., ............
