T' committee under the direction of Ellen McClellan, chairman, is fur thering the work of discussion groups which inconspicuously oper ated last year. The new organiza tion hopes to create a campus in terest in world problems and to create fellowship between foreign and American students. The discussion groups will not be limited. But in order that they may operate efficiently, a leader for each group will be appointed. The groups will meet every two weeks, from 6 to 7 o’clock. Mildred Bateman is in charge of the discussion group committee. She announces the plans of the commit tee. All foreign countries will be studied. The social life, the politi cal conditions, industrial develop ments, geographical conditions that may have influenced each nation in its relation to other nations, the educational aspects and the re ligious influence of the nation will be discussed. With a thorough understanding of the problems of foreign nations and a knowledge of those of'the United States, it will be possible to understand the rela tion that exists between the United States and other nations. Every session will have two leaders. One leader will lead the discussion of these topics from a <t> E. Caswell; Deady, Albert B. Sweet ser, W. P. Boynton; Johnson, War ren D. Smith, G. H.

HISTORY ORGANIZATION IS FORMED ON CAMPUS A new organization made up of history majors and others interest ed in history last night formed a new permanent organization on the campus.

The efficiency of the organization is guaranteed. Leaders of the i groups will prepare bibliographies 1 concerning the discussed phases of I each nation. In this way material ; will be available for any member j who wishes to secure data for her topic. The leaders of the groups are at- j tempting to overcome a tendency toward haphazardness. Each leader will be chosen for her ability and i knowledge of the questions of to- j day, and not her religious inclina- \ tion. The discussion groups arose last year in the winter term. They were an outcome of suggestions made at a national student fellowship con vention at Indianapolis. The groups were not given publicity as they were trial meetings. The success of the picked groups led to the adoption of resolutions for an ex pansion to include all women who are interested. Those who will be responsible for putting across the movement are Ellen McClellan, general chairman; Mildred Bateman, chairman of dis cussion committee; Marian Barnes, secretary; Jean Moffatt, corres ponding secretary; Merle Oliver, publicity; Jo Ann Warwick and Helen Thwaite, posters; Georgia Stone, bulletins; Lois LaRoehe, out side contact; Marian Jenkins, cam pus contact. -O bins, chairman; Oscar Winther aird Mary Griffen. The program committee is made up of Mildred Hayden, chairman; Elsie Dennis and Cecil S. Smith. The new organization will dis cuss problems of history. It is planned to have papers presented and discussed at the first meeting, to be held in December. Dr. K. C. ■Clark, professor of history, pledged the co operation of the history fac ulty. A special meeting will be held next Wednesday evening to deter mine further policies. Other mem bers of the history department ana those interested in history are ex pected to attend.
