every direction and in every activity which occurred during the next year, 1934-35. For the first tinne there appeared a student newspaper, integrating and express- ing student opinion. The student body became more highly organized through the efforts of a progressive Student Council administration, and more articulate Through the medium of the Commentator. It evinced a greater interest in current social and Jewish problems, and the policies formulated in the Commentator pro- voked considerable comment in Jewish and literary circles. The formation of a Concert Bureau, Cooperative Store, Loan Fund, Employment Bureau, Art Club, Dramatic Society, Math Club, and hiealth Club, the organization of Student Forums and of the Mizrachi Youth organization, the addition of tennis and indoor baseball to the list of officially conducted sports — cap a seven year period of development, and symbolize the existence of a new and vigorous spirit among Yeshiva men. The activities of the present year, toward the close of which this history is being written, have tended in the main toward the consolidation and expansion of what has been already accomplished. The pages to come are devoted to a chronicle of this period, and they express most vividly the life of our school and of its students. The history of Yeshiva Is still in the making, and we can hardly attempt at the present time any evaluation of our own accomplishments. We must rather wait till we may view them from the perspective of years. Yeshiva has conceived it a primary duty to make Its contribution to general cultural progress and adult education. The Scripta Mathematica, which made its first appearance in 1932, Is the first in a series of scholarly journals planned by the College. The year 1935 Is memorable for the impressive series of lectures delivered in conjunction with the Malmonides Octo-Centennlal, when the rostrum of our auditorium was occupied by such celebrated Jewish men of letters as President Revel of Yeshiva, Professor Harry A. Wolfson of hlarvard, and Professor Alexander LItman and Dr. David I. Macht of Yeshiva ' s faculty. In the fall of nine- teen thirty-five and through the first part of this year, several series of lectures on subjects of general and Jewish interest, as well as a number of extension courses In collaboration with Young Israel, were conducted In the Metropolitan area by prominent members of the Yeshiva College faculty, achieving worth-while success and Inspiring widespread response from both Jewish and non-Jewish circles.
