GEORGETOWN CLUB
PLANS SPEC|ALT|ES
Wants to Swell Attendance
Of Alumni at Monthly Ses-
sions-Nurmi Coming.

Special feature nights TO attract
the tired" business and professional
men are being planned by the George
town University Club of Washington
as an inducement to swell attendance
at the monthly assemblies of the new
alumni body.
Although scarcely a month old, the
local club has formed the nucleus OF
strong organization which is be-
ginning to take an active and promi-
nent part in Georgetown affairs. IT
is estimated that there are $500 for
mer students of Georgetown residing
in and near Washin e,ton, all OF whom
are eligible to join the new club. In
this respect II differs from the Alumni
Association in that membership is not
confined to graduates. Every depart
ment of the university, including the
preparatory school at Garrett Park,
Md, is represented in the Georgetown
Club.
How to round up a majority OF the
Georgetown men, many Of whom lonT
ago lost touch with their alma mater
is the chief problem now confronting
the club. Next Is the question OF
keeping alive their interest after once
joining. Realizing this difficulty. the
club has decided to hold a series Of
special entertainments during the
acquaintances- These entertainments
Will take the form Of smokers. ad-
dresses by prominent alumni and OFF,
cials and vaudeville programs.

will be held the night before the
Georgetown indoor track meet, which

Rev. Charles W. Lyons, S. J., presi-
dent of the University, was among
the speakers at the annual vesper
service last Sunday OF the Knights of
Columbus. in ST. Aloysius' Church.

ton as one that has stood always
squarely behind the State and all
lawfully constituted authorities.
Foreign Service Faculty Meets.
The plenary session OF the faculty
OF the Foreign Service School,, at
which a number of important mat
ters pertaining to the curriculum
were discussed, was held last Sunday
evening in the Riggs Library, at the
college. Rev. Edmund A. Walsh. S. J.,
regent of the school, presided over
the session, which was attended by
81 members Of the faculty. The as
sistant dean, Thomas H. Healy, pre-
sented his annual report.
It is the opinion of the authorities
of the school that during the last two
years considerable progress has been
made toward approaching an ideal
program of study that can be worked
out for instruction in foreign service.
Just now, 1t was pointed out, the
more or less ideal course Of instruc-
tion would require two years Of lib
eral or cultural college training be-
fore entrance on the specialized cur
riculum proper to the School OF For
eign Service, 1t Is not now, nor is 1t
likely to be in the near future, the
intention of the faculty to make the
present course an exclusively grad
uate experiment.

upon the members of the 1922 base
ball team Saturday night in Phtla-
delphia, when they were given life
membership in the well known Vet
erans' Athletic Club. This marked
the first time that the club has ever
