The Propeller club is composed
of two branches of organization—
those in large cities and ports
and those in student organization.
The campus club, known as the
Port of Oregon, was chartered in
January, 1937, and, though the war
years brought a lapse in member
ship and interest, Professor Lomax
feels that the club will know a re
newed enthusiasm.
In former years it has been the
custom for the Portland Propeller
club to invite the University mem
bers to an annual dinner when dis
cussions of common interest are
held.
The club also sponsors movies on
fcfrsign trade and other pertinent
subjects. The purpose of the club
is to bring together those with
common interests in shipping.
