the members, Al Treloar gave his per-
mission for Isa&cs to enter the long
distance run to Venice, which is to be
pulled off August 20. A goodly number
of boys at the club are of the opinion
that Isaacs will be the one to beat for
first prize in the race. AS far as can
be ascertained he is the only man en-
tered in the race who has had any ex-
perience in long distance running. and
he also is in fairly good condition. He

SOCIETIES

Lafayette, Ind, April lO.-A national
league of the Catholic societies of
American universities and colleges
will be organized as a result Of a
convention opened today at Purdue
university Institutions from the At
lantic to the Pacific will be represen-
ted by delegates, including Harvard
and other big eastern universities,
Nearly all important societies have
local societies Of Catholic students,
and by organizing on a national scale
the work of bodies of this nature will
be centralized and rendered more ef-
fectiye.
The leaders state that there is no
combative purpose in their uniting,
but rather that they recognize the i'm
portance Of the social movement now
being experienced in this country and
that by uniting they are merely iden-
tifying themselves with the spirit Of
the times, then too, there is a great
deal to be gained from an interchange
of ideas and a comparison of methods
in voge at the various Institutions, for
holding the students of this creed to-
gether. Other results are also expect
ed and one of the motives that has
not been brought into the foreground
as yet is the organization of the Nat
ional Lecture bureau, where the best
Catholic lecturers Of the country may
be secured to give talks to the students
on various subjects Of interest to the
students and to the public generally.
