SCIENCE SOCIETY The Society of Sciences was founded for the purpose of bringing together the many students interested in science, in order that each student might extend his knowledge to the fields of biology, chemistry, and physics. The club meets twice a month, alternating outside guest speakers with student and faculty lecturers. The programs are varied and always interesting. The assembly program and the spring exhibit are annual traditions. The members have also in past years made a trip to some well-known scientific institution, but this cus- tom has been curtailed because of transpor- tation difficulties. Each year at graduation, the Society of Sciences presents a medal of honor to the outstanding science major in the senior class.

HISTORICAL SOCIETY The historical society is an organization of students who in the past turned to old manu- scripts and books for local information about the history of Kent County and Washington College. Today it is an organization which turns to the future with an international view- point. In recognition of the obvious fact that this is a critical moment in history from which we as individuals cannot remain untouched, it is our aim to be a group well informed on current events. To accomplish this aim we hold round-table discussions. In these forums we try to make more than account of day- to-day happenings. We attempt to find the basic Issues involved in the war and to specu- late on the possibilities which may arise from them. Often we ask speakers who are better informed to join the group and express their ideas. In this way, combined with our initia- tive, we hope to establish a group on the campus which can take its responsibilities as they come in a realistic and clear-thinking manner.

Informal Discussion - Dissertdtion by Wood ML VERNON The oldest organization on the Hill, the Mount Vernon Literary Society celebrated its ninety-sixth anniversary this year. Still an active club, it provides casual discussion, relaxation, and good refreshments at its monthly meetings. The programs have included such ambitious feats as play productions and original literary work in the early days of the society ' s exist- ence, to book reviews and discussions of various phases of literature in our more hur- ried times. This season, the club heard the origin of the Christmas stories and a talk by Dr. Davis on Wagner, interspersed with book reviews by members of the group. As is the custom, there was a literary quiz which gave the members a chance to sharpen their wits. The purpose of the society has been to foster an active interest in literature among the students and the ' faculty to whom there is always a cordial welcome extended. The members, like Chaucer ' s Clerk of Oxford, are glad to learn and teach. Standing, left to right: Cregar, Natunewicz, Rouse, Burrell. Seated: Stevens, Bartlett, Wynne, Tracey. Smith, Wood.
