SUFQNCE CLUB The Science Club was organized in the fall of 1934 by a group of Science majors who felt that we needed some medium other than the class- room in which to become better acquainted with each other and with our held. All students taking advanced elective science courses may become members of the club and take advantage of the opportunities it offers. 'We have taken frequent held trips to laboratories, museums, and other places of scientific interest in the vicinity. We have gone star-gazing and tree-hunting. lVe have had a number of lectures by outside speakers and members of the club. And we shall always look back with pleasure to the day we spent with Dr. Beebe when he was here last winter. And in this, our second year, we 'feel that we are closer than ever to accomplishing our .set purpose-the development of a hrm bond of mutual interest and fellowship among ourselves, and an increasing awareness of new developments in the scientihc world.

C RMAN Clllli The German Club of the University ol Delaware grew out of the effects that the Foreign Study Plan with its Student Exchange System had on our student life, for those girls and boys who came almost every year over here from abroad, awoke a new and especially vivid interest in foreign countries, their people,.customs, culture. Der Deutsche Verein der Universitat Delaware was founded in the winter of 1932-33. lt had the purpose of uniting, under the guidance of professors, those students who were greatly interested in German, of prac- ticing the German language and ol having speakers who gave talks about various aspects of the German country and German life. The constitution ol the club is, according to its size, very simple. A president, elected by general vote, and a secretary-treasurer, take care of the aflairs of the club. The German Clubs of Delaware College and the Won1en's College exist independently, they cooperate only on special occa- sions. The German Club performs various activities. There is a regular meeting every month, at which tea is served, German songs are sung, and to which professors from other universities and speakers are invited. Two or three times each semester a paper is published which contains news about our Club and other German Clubs of the East. The hrst two winters, the Club had as a special event the performance of a German movie which attracted quite a large audience. Last year the club as an active student body came 'for the lirst time in close contact with other colleges by arranging the big German Evening in hlitchell Hall, and the great success of the event showed that the club is already of considerable importance not only in our own college life but also in intercollegiate activities.

Mfttllildllihflf-XlllQS QLUIB All students who are interested in mathematics, whether they take mathematics courses or not, are invited to be members ol the Math Club. The meetings are held monthly and consist of a tea and a discussion of some subject closely related to mathematics. Last year the discussions dealt with the history of mathematics, with a member of the club leading the discussions each time. We held one open meeting last year, at which Professor Nlylrea gave a talk on '4Bells. This year the club studied various instru- ments for measuring and calculating, such as the transit, the level, the telescope, the slide rule, and the sun dial. The Mathematics Club has two purely social meetings each year. The first is a party at the home of Professor and hflrs. Rees. The second is the annual banquet in Kent Hall which closes the season for the club.
