Caple, Dr. Religious, social, and cultural aspects are an integral part of the Newman Club objectives. These clubs, or- ganized in 1893 at the University of Pennsylvania, have grown to over 5(M) in the United States, and serve Catholic students on many secular campuses. During the year, the combined Baltimore campus Newman Club continued to hold meetings, all of which were very interesting. However, the difficulty of ar- ranging meetings to avoid conflict with the various school activities and examination schedules resulted in small attendance, so plans have been made to return the clubs to the individual schools. True to history, the members of the Pharmacy School Newman Club joined together to present a skit at the Fall Frolic. The first place tie allowed the club to retire the Cherry Cup for winning three years in a row. This honor has come about by a joint effort on the part of each member, and each should be con- gratulated. The active members of the Newman Club are all graduating seniors, but it is their earnest hope that their successors will continue to plan activities and keep the Newman Club active in the School of Phar- macy. 28

KOKDSKI Stephen Levin Faculty Advisor Secrelarv-Treasiirei Historian To promote the advancement of the pharmaceutical sciences through tlie encouragement and recognition of intellectual scholarship, to promote scholarly fellow- ship in pharmacy, and to encourage and promote phar- maceutical research, the Rho Chi .Society was founded in 1922. Presently, there are over 60 chapters located in schools of pharmac throughout the nation. Omicron Chapter, at the L niversitv of Mar land, was founded and chartered in 1930, and has functioned activeh since that time. Membership in the Society is by election, and serves as a pinnacle in the undergraduate careers of deserving students. Character, scholarship, leadership and service are the essential qualities of Rho Chi members. Mem- bership in the society is considered the highest distinct honor that can be bestowed upon a pharmacy student. Although Rho Chi is a recognition society, it also is an action society. This is illustrated by a program enti- tled. Seminars in the Pharmaceutical Sciences which was introduced for the first time this year. Consisting of a series of lectures bv faculty members, the student body was shown a picture of graduate study and re- search on the graduate level in each lecturer s respec- tive field of interest; hence awareness to the fields of study available and opportunities in these fields was made apparent. As the high point of the years activities Rho Chi Day was held in April. This consisted of an afternoon program which included an interesting discourse by one prominent in the pharmaceutical field, and the introduction of new Rho Chi members. In the evening the installation ceremony for new members and the banquet were held. To promote undergraduate scholarship, Rho Chi offers various awards for students with high scholastic rating. 27
