Further In- ’ There was a time when suggestions concerning the
novations expansion of our field of activities could be promptly
met with the response that we were already attempt­
ing more than we could successfully handle, and as a result were
overburdened. But now, with the growth of the University, a
change is gradually taking place: the number of students is increas­
ing, while the number of activities entered into remains practically
the same as when we numbered only half our present enrollment.
A sure sign of growth and prosperity in a University is the fre­
quent introduction of new branches of activity. It shows that those
in attendance are alive and energetic.
In our last issue, comment was made concerning the organiza­
tion of a German Club, and of a dramatic club. Lately, decisive
steps have been taken towards the promotion of a German Club and
from present indications the organization, now well under way, will
be a credit to the University. Why has a dramatic club not received
similar attention? Surely not because of the lack of talent and of
interest. Doubtless if such a club were organized, there would be
a large number of applicants for membership, and it is highly im­
probable that, once begun, it would fail to hold its own with the
other student-body enterprises.
