The aim of this organizaation is to foster a campus interest in chess and to become a recognized team sponsored by the University. At the present, a club team is competing successfully with other chess clubs throughout the state. A second team has also been formed in an effort to give all the members an opportunity to play in tournament competition. The club is now sponsoring a chess school for beginners and plans are being formed to launch a college chess tourna- ment to be open to all students. ' Meetings of the club are held every Week on Thursday night. Since its founding several years ago, the Engineer's Club has become one of the most progressive organizations on the hill. The purpose of the club has been exemplified in its showing of movies of interest to the engineers and to the Whole school, its frequent trips to industrial plants, and the booking of lecturers on engineering subjects. Last year and early this year, the group, while retaining its entity as the Engineer's Club, split into three separate groups to make possible their affiliation with the national societies of civil, electrical, and mechanical engineers. Mem- bership in these national groups carries with it interest in and publicity 'for our University. 12

Several years ago the Newman Club was founded on the campus through the initiative of a group of students inter- ested in furthering Catholicism through a stable organiza- tion. After the request for a petition was granted the Club, named after Cardinal Newman, the Anglican convert, launched itself on a program including social as well as re- ligious activities. ln l936 the local club was reorganized through the efforts of Dr. Theodor Siegal of the foreign Ian- guage department and Father ,Ioseph Farrell of St. .Ioseph's Parish in Willimantic. In 1939, the group became affiliated with the National Newman Clubs. The Club's program includes varigated activities. Various phases of the Catholic religion are discussed at its monthly meetings. The 'University Christian Association is a local member of the Student Christian Movement in New England. lt is administered by a council of twenty students. Through the 6'0pen House program the aim of the group to stimulate open discussion of critical problems is fulfilled every Sunday evening at the Community House. I Through the Student Christian Movement which also gives it direction, the Council is able to attend the Northfield and O-at-ka Conferences. The Council is also affiliated with the World Student Christian' Federation and contributes to the World Student Service fund.
