The Romania held it's first meeting

This informal organization is the idea
of Prof. johnson. The object Is 10
form a group where all shall act to-
gether in seeking to become familiar
with the current course Of politics. re-
lie;on. art, music or any other phase
of the life among the Latin races OF
the world. Americans. except when
travelling, usually think but llttie oil
the great nations of Europe. and Prof
Johnson seems to have hit upon tht
pleasantest and best way of bringing
their broadening influences home 70
such BOwdOin men as shall be inter-
ested in them. The plan formed Is Tor
each member to follow continuously IN
current periodicals or any other source

thing to the interest of the evening. as
well as merely take away something as
10 the case at the many lecture clubs
AS the group is merely formed for
the purpose Of gaining information and
OF broadening the views OF the mem
bers, there Is no fixed standard OF
membership. 1t Is hoped to keep the
number of student members at about
dozen. 80 as to make II possible IL
meet in an ordinary room. but members
are to be admitted by consent of the
group, on application, whenever MEM
bers drop out either by graduation or
some other cause That is. it has been
decided 20 keep a waiting list and any
one In college who Is interested in the
work Of the group may by handing his
name 10 the secretary become eligible
for membership ~ soon as vacancy
shall occur.
The whole ideq il 4 new one, and
without doubt is one which would find
G ready response in any college COM
muntty. 1t Is l.ot only privilege for
students 10 come into close informal
contact with tEeir professor. as here
with such men as Profs. Henry John
son. Brown and Stills. but there is af-
forced an opportunity for u liberal ed
ucation that should soon put 4 good
number on the Romania waiting list
At the first meeting it was decided to
meet II possible on every other
Wednesday evening after the fraterni-
ty meetings Those who are to form
the group az first are: Profs. Johnson.
