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.

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.

In 1923, Dr. Ryden's class in Government, in order to promote a better understanding of current problems, founded the Forum. The club has since then become a member of the International Relations Clubs which are sponsored by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Each year we send delegates to the regional conference. Twice a month meetings are held-the first one an open meeting to which anyone IUZIY come, the other a cabinet meeting in which only the most interested take part. The talks given by faculty members, by speakers from nearby cities, and by students are not formal lectures, but friendly discussions over tea cups. In cabinet meetings we learn about current problems and try to understand the world situation. To us belongs the credit for reviving the debate team and for conducting inter-collegiate debates. To each dormitory We distribute daily and Sunday papers, which service is made possible by a small contribution from each resident student. Forum makes a valuable contribution to college life in that it seeks to promote a greater friendliness, sympathy, and an appreciation of world problems. IFQIRUM.
