STUDENTS INTER-
NATIONAL CLUB

A Unique Institution at the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin, Including in it's
Members Many Nations of the
Earth. AffIiates with Association
Members Of Cosmopolitan Clubs.
Of the many Student organizations at
at the University of Wisconsin, none
shows the cosmopolitan character Of the
student body so definitely as does the
International Club, which has just been
affiliated with the Association of Cosmo-
politan Clubs of various universities of
the world. No single department Of
activity is so sure to carry the name
and fame of "Old Wisconsin" to the
ends of the earth as is this club, since
the one requisite of membership is that
a student be of foreign birth or resi-
dence. The growth of popularity of the
University of Wisconsin among foreign
students in the four years since the or
ganization of the club is indicated by the
rapid increase in membership, and the
large number of Municipalities represent
ed at it's meetings. There the big
blonds of the scandinavian countries
meet the dark handsome types from the
romantic nations; the man from Canada
grasps the hand of the indominable lit
tie man from the Mikados' empire, Hol-
land and Mexico, Scotland and Germany
greet each other. There the men from
many of the islands of the sea, whose
homes are separated by the width of the
world, come together. There the nat
ives of Uncle Sans new insular posses
sions may become acquainted with the
native-born Americans, for they, too,
are represented in the membership,
though the number is limited to small
percentage of the whole personelle OF
the club.
