M. Matejek Mrs. Albert Vanzura THE PROGRESSIVE CZECH CLUB was founded at The University of Texas in the spring of 1937 by a group of interested students. The aims they set for the club were to bring about closer relationship and better understanding between the students of Czech origin and other students on the campus; to promote the study of the Czech literature and culture: and to develop in the members knowledge and responsi- bility concerning the conduction of organization and business, social cultural, and athletic activities. At the semi-monthly meetings cultural and social entertainments are presented, with prominent speakers usually on hand. Also, the club enjoys picnics, open houses, formals, and other socials, and participates in University intramurals. PAGE ?48
