THE GOPHER LITERARY HE Gopher Literary was organized and its constitution drawn up in the school year of 1899, with thirty-five charter members. The primary object of this organization is to develop the literary and social talents of its members and to bring about a stronger friendship among the students of this institution. The Gopher Literary has continued to maintain its place on the campus as one of the leading societies. In the fall of 1923, due to certain conditions and misunder- standings, the organization was temporarily disbanded. At the beginning of the fall term of 1925, because of the large number of new students in the school, the Gophers were reorganized with a membership of forty-seven students. The first meeting was held October 10, at which ofhcers were elected and a short program given. A series of very successful meetings was held during the term. The Gopher Literary, in connection with the Adelphic Literary, presented under the auspices of the Literary Union a very delightful Christmas Play and Pageant. This organization is trying to give each member experience in expressing him- self and an opportunity to develop his talents. The Gopher Literary has always been one of the first societies to support all movements for the improvement of conditions on the campus. VVhen we look back upon this school year, the associations and friendships formed in our Literary Society will be remembered as some of the happiest experi- ences of our school life. -R. T. W., J. D.

It had its origin in 1924 when the faculty of the School of Agriculture decided to provide some means of recognizing the students who receive high grades in their studies and also take a prominent part in student activities. The purpose of this Society is to raise scholarship in the School of Agriculture. Outside activities are an important part of one's school career, but they should not occupy the majority of a student's time. Students are here for one purpose and that is an education. They must not slight their class room work, if they are to be successful in this enterprise. Membership in the society is divided into two groups, active and associate. The active members are graduates of the school and the associate members are chosen at the end of each term from the undergraduates. The society elects officers but does not hold regular meetings. H The following members of this society received Caleb Door single term Schol- arship prizes in January: Ole Engene, William Dankers, Erick Loenholt, Donald Sharp and Ira Baldwin.
