The Classical Club begins Us second
year with renewed vigor. Last Oc
tober, a year ago, this club was es
tablished. growing out of an urgent
need in the college community. Keai
Izing that the study of Latin hu.
Greek, us dead languages, should be
vitalized and made to live In currenl
life, uie students of the advuncei.
Latin and Grewk classes on the roconi
mendation of the head of the depan-
ment met to diacusa the probability o.
such an organization, the result ot
which WHS the foundlnp: of the atiove
named club. This body seeks through
its monihly meetings to present an
informal and persoiuil view or J.itin
and Creek literature, customs, h.ibil.-
and daily life, not gained through the
n:ediuni jf ihe classroom, to liriag tlic-
student in closer touch with the great
(ignres and factors in (heir undent
civilization and to adopt thu wo:-k OL
the classics to the present need of nia-
terirtliyni. With this aim constantly
in view itio chib has worked t'aithl'ully
I'or the pa.'«t year to bring abonl the
I'ealisiatiou ot its purpose. The movie
••Julius Caosar " was put on in the eol-
le>;e hist April in tho hope that wider
interest in classical subjects would
re.snit. This year the lield of opportu
nity is broader, and already plans are
heins made for lectures and plays.
Membership in the Cluasiciil Club
(lui'iuK the tirst year was limiteit to
those students taking elective wiirk
in Latin and Clreek, but the clut), see-
iuK that its influence could lie (o ad
vantage for many more, changed its
constitution so that in addition mem-
t)or.s of the lower classes who show
unusual promise in Latin and Greek
after the fall Semester, would be etlgl-
hle for nioniliersliip. In this way botti
the club and the initividuai can expect
to accomplish more to foster interest
in the classics, Preshmen. remember
thai (he Classical (Mub is expecting
many of you to come within its fold
in February.

STUDENT OPINION j
The honor system in our student
j'uvernment, as I see It, means that
.e are to account to ourselves for all
our actions. We, ourselves, should
feel free and easy about everything
we do, before thinking of how any
body else feels. Just as we are per
sonally respons.ble for our Sunday
School attendance, and no one else
has a right to, or will. Interfere so
long as our honor Is unquestionable,
so we should feel that we are to keep
an account of all our actions. The
general record for us all has been
made out in our handbook and when
ever we depart from this even in the
most minute detail—even as in oelng
one minute tardy for Sunday School,
since no one else knows anything
about it. we consider ourselves tardy
—we should let It be known to those
Who are keeping these records. We
choose girls each year to direct the
course which we shall follow. And
an.v departure from this course must
be made known to thase directing, or
what is the use of having any delinite
iorm to follow? And let those records
of oar departures bo as we give them,
not as someone is forced to get them.
Some of U.S do not feel the honor that
is pliiced in us, but rather go on a
high school principle, do what you
can and get by with it; if you are
caufilit. it IS your tough luck. What
we waat is a feeiing of responsibility
for doing even the smallest things,
because from these the spirit ot honor
must grow.

The iirst V. W, C. A. servico hehl
in the chapel Sunday evening, Sep-

and lieljjfiii to the old girls us well
as the new. The topic for stiiily and
meditation was ‘•Friendship." In a
iirief introductory speech tlie Y, W,

sti'essed the fact that all college girls
desire that characteristic known as the
ability to make and keep friends by
being a friend.
The three types of college friend
ship were discussed by the following
girls: “Social PriendslHp,” Louise
13owden; ‘'Intellectual Friendship,”
Fannie Paul; “Religious Friendship."
