The Webster Classical Club is a unit of the St. Louis Uni- versity Classical Club, which meets monthly at the Univer- sity or at one of the corporate colleges. During the cur- rent semester, Webster had the pleasure of entertaining the joint group on February fourteenth. In accordance with the vote of the members, the study plan of the club this year has been identical with that of the St. Louis University Classical Club, the general topic was The Political lnstitutions of Greece and Rome. Thus an opportunity was offered at the monthly meetings for further research and discussion on the points of interest introduced at the general meetings. l92l
