The annual appointment of efficient student committees to facilitate tlie execution of student duties has been a highlight in Yeshiva ' s development. The realm of Yeshiva ' s educational influence has not been confined to the student body alone, but has been broadened to include the advancement of adult education and the furtherance of knowledge of Jewish subjects from the orthodox point ot view. The Scripts Mathematica, edited by Dr. Jekuthiel Ginsburg, although first issued in 1932 has already gained for itself an international reputation as a leading contemporary scholarly journal. In 1935 an educational series of lectures delivered on the occasion of the Maimonides Octo-Centennial was held in the college auditorium. During the past year the Rabbi David Miller Lectures on Jewish Family Relations were held at the College, and as those in the past, this series has achieved remarkable success and widespread response. Under the auspices of the College, and sponsored by Young Israel, courses are offered throughout the academic year in various fields of Jewish learning and culture. These courses meeting in various centers of the city, are intended for the interested lay public, and emphasize the application of fundamental Jewish principles to the problems of life today. In the Fall of 1937 the Yeshiva College Lecture Bureau was organized to fill a definite need for lecturers and leaders of forums and discussion groups, masters in their respective fields, who bring the point of view of traditional Judaism to bear upon the urgent problems of modern times. Included on the staff of lecturers are many prominent members of the College faculty and Rabbis and laymen from various parts of the country. Each succeeding year has been able to point to a notable list of achievements, both in consolidating and expanding the existing activities, and in blazing the trail to greater progress. In the pages that follow, a chronicle of the past year ' s events is recorded in an attempt to present a faithful picture of the school ' s organization and student body. Yeshiva is still young, and from the mirror of its past a glorious future can be envisaged for it. Standing as we do on its very threshold we can hardly judge it adequately, and must wait till time affords us the proper perspective to evaluate its accomplishments. MASMID RECREATION ROOM Ten
