the success of the MenOrah movement
must depend in a very large measure
upon the financial and moral support
of the graduate members. A heated
discussion took place as to the advisa-
bility of restricting membership in Grad
uate Menorah Societies to college men
and women. No definite decision was
taken.
Tuesday Evening Reception.
In the evening an informal reception
was held at the Calhoun Club for 200
delegates, alumni and members of the
society. The early part of the evening
was devoted to reception and introduce
ton. A short musical program was
contributed by the Misses Maybelle
Greenberg, Eta Blank, Stella Edelman,
and the Messrs. Virgil and John

evening.
Wednesday Session.
On Wednesday was held the most in
teresting business session of the entire
convention-the reports of the different
MenOrah societies throughout the U. S.
and Canada. Each organization re-
ported upon the problems and difficult
ties it had encountered during the year;
upon the programs presented upon the
attitude of the college authorities; upon
the aid received from the intercollegiate
and the organizations; upon the prizes
offered and upon numerous other points
of interest. The reports indicated that
the most advanced societies were doing
more intensive work than those which
have been newly organized. Each re-
port also showed the proportion be-
tween the number of Jewish students in
Menorah societies to the total Jewish
student body and also the attendance
at meetings. These phases of the work
were we'll illustrated by various charts

lnL0TCOll0SldC0 McuOIdu ASSOCldClOH,
held in the Twin Cities the latter part
of this week, has been signally sue
cessful not only from it's point OF view,
but also from the point of view OF the
two Jewish communities. There is no
exaggeration in saying that the gather
ing of our young collegians produced
a deep and lasting impression on all
the members of the communities who
had the pleasure of meeting them at
one or other of the functions. To see
our young people of culture manifest
such enthusiasm and zeal for Judaism
and things Jewish, was an inspiration
to some of the older heads that often
become discouraged at the many symp-
toms of Indifference and callousness in
our Western Universities.
When the gavel of Chancellor Henry
Hurwitz dropped on Tuesday morning,
December 26, at 10 o'clock, calling the
convention to order, the dream of the
Minnesota Menorah society, for several
years past, was realized. Having been
founded in the East, previous conven-
tions of this organization have been
held in that part of the country, and it
was with great fear and doubt regard
ing it's success that the Minnesota Me-
norah extended it's invitation for this
convention. The efforts of the society
were crowned with success by the at
tendance of the largest number of dele
gates that ever travelled to similar
convention. When the roll of societies
was called on Tuesday morning, the
following societies were represented by
delegates:

represented by deputies.
Tuesday Session.
At the first business session on Tues
day morning, three new societies in the
ship, Texas Agricultural and Mechanical
College, Adelphi College of Brooklyn,
and Simmonds College of Boston.
(Both of the latter are colleges for
women only. After considerable dis
cussion as to how broad scope the
Menorah movement should take, the Me-
norah Society of the University of Mani
toba was admitted to membership, it
being the first Canadian society so hon
ored. The Chancellor reported that
there were now forty-nine active con-
stituent societies, and six more in the
process of formation. The report fur
ther brought out that the Intercollegi
ate organization is bending every effort
to strengthen ITSELF as well as the local
societies, by organizing graduate Me-
norah bodies. 1t was made clear that

On Wednesday evening was held the
gala event of the week-the fifth an
nual convention dinner. Rabbi Kahn
of St. Paul offered the opening prayer.
Mr.. David London, president of the Min
nesota Menorah, introduced Chancellor
Hurwitz as the toastmaster who pre-
sented the various speakers.
Dean A. Woods welcomed the con-
vention in behalf Of the University. Mr..
Charles Sommers, a member of the
Board of Regents, pledged allegiance to
the Menorah movement Rabbi C. D.
Matt spoke of the opportunity of the
Jewish college man in the life of the
community DR.. S. N. Deinard respond
ed to the toast-"Jewish Self Assertive-
ness," and emphasized the part played
by the Menorah societies in this direc-
ton. Mr.. Benjamin Levinson of Yale,
one of the vice presidents, emphasized
the Importance of graduate aid and af-
filiation. Mr.. H. w. Davis of Mime
sofa, another vice president, brought
home the national aspect of the Me-
norah, and showed that local activities
are small in comparison. The delegates
who responded were Miss Della Cherey,
Hunter College, New York; Miss Clara
Goldberg, of Iowa; Mr.. A. j. Feldman,
of CINCINNATI; Rev. Sandheim of Mani
toba; DR.. Moses Barron of Minnesota,
and Mr.. Louis Newman OF California.
The closing toast, "Americanism and

Thursday Sessions.
On Thursday the deliberations were
bent towards arriving at basis of
award for the Irving Lehman cup, to
be given to that Menorah Society which
has made the greatest progress during
the year. Various suggestions we're
made for such a basis some cOntending
that large and enthusiastic member
ship should be the principal factor in
granting the prize. The prevailing
view, however, seemed to be that that
society should receive the cup whose
members, regardless of the number, did
the most constructive and intensive
work To the disappointment of many
societies the exact basis was left to a
committee to be appointed by the officers,
the first award to be made next year.
