=Hunter College=
SINCE its first meeting of the season, the Hunter College Menorah
Society has more than trebled its membership. Ten per cent of the
entire student body have joined our ranks. We hope for even greater
members before the end of the year. Our freshman "At Home" was
pronounced the most enjoyable welcome to freshmen given by any
society. A large audience, including several members of the Faculty,
attended our first regular meeting, which was addressed by Professor
Israel Friedlaender of the Jewish Theological Seminary.
Between our regular meetings, we hold weekly noon-time Forums.
Besides, the three study circles organized by the Society meet weekly
and are attended by between twenty and twenty-five members. The
Society arranged for the very successful joint meeting of all the
Menorah Societies in the city, which was held at Hunter on Sunday
evening, November 21, with an attendance of about 700.
The members of the Society have shown their appreciation of the
privileges arising from membership not only by voting almost
unanimously to double the annual dues but also by undertaking a
catalogue, on the basis of subject matter, of the contents of books
which might be of interest to students of Hebraic culture. This work
will cover finally, we hope, all such books in English and the leading
modern foreign languages and should prove a lasting help to students
everywhere.
