Broadman Pres., Stamp Coin Club Although stamp collecting by Harrisites was conducted on a large scale last term, the amount of money that changed hands in the Stamp and Coin Club was but a pittance compared with the five million dollars that changed hands in stamp trading transactions in the United States. There are fifty philatelists in the Stamp and Coin Club; there are more than a million in the coun- try. Prominent men the world over are interested in this fascinating hobby. Included among these are the President of the United States, the King of England, the King of Siam, and many others, not to mention our own Dr. William Roy Begg. The average Harrisite ' s collection is worth less than one hundred dollars; that of the late King George has been estimated at almost two million. Philately is vigorously promoted by the Stamp and Coin Club, yet this activity is infinitesimally small when compared with that of the rest of the world in the same field. SEVENTY

CAMERA CLUB IN THE HARRIS CAMERA WORLD by Joseph Rubenson President of the Camera Club In the last few years there has been a growing interest in photography, not only as a hobby, but as a profession. The use of photographs to illustrate advertisements and magazine articles is undeniably increasing. Recently there has been some talk of substitut- ing courses in photography for the present Harris art courses. This inspired the Camera Club to begin a course in the element of photography. The curriculum consisted of nine short lectures, presented weekly at the meetings, and accompanied by a demonstration of the topic treated. The first lecture of the series dealt with the theory and prac- tice of taking the picture. Afterwards there was a demonstration of developing and printing in the club darkroom. One of the highlights of the course was the lecture on lenses by Mr. Banister, the club fac- ulty adviser. A long-present need for instruction in the fundamentals of photog- raphy was filled by this course, which especially benefited newcomers to the club. SIXTY-NINE

GERMAN CLUB THE GERMAN CLUB fF ... by Frank Cohen and Martin Orlean Germany, most powerful nation in central Europe and formerly one of the strongholds of learn- ing and culture, has recently embarked on another dark age. After fifteen years of degradation following the World War, the German people have been forced in despair to turn to Adolf Hitler, leader of the Nazi party and advocate of Fascism. He has repeatedly violated treaty obligations. He has stripped a hitherto influential and respected Jewish minority of every right of German citizenship. In his bigoted frenzy he has deported many bril- liant and learned, but non-Aryan men, and he has childishly sought to destroy the imperishable works which they have created. Perhaps the best way to become acquainted with the real German civilization Is to learn of its background, and its nature and customs. The German Club was formed with this end in mind, as well as to aid its members in speaking and comprehending the language. SEVENTY-ONE
