Deutscher Verein The Deutscher Verein, founded twenty-seven years ago by Dr. DeWaIsh, is the oldest language club on the Wagner College campus. The aim of the Verein is to cultivate student interest in under- standing the traditions and ways of the German people. The highlight ofthe year was the popular Weih- nachtsfest in which most of the students participate. The Christmas decorations and cheerful attitude made it a tremendous success. The group's other activities throughout the year were met with great response, particularly the tradi- tionally-German off-campus meetings. Officers President . . ....
