WITH an attendance that broke all records, and a display of enthusiasm
and interest that augurs well for the Society, the Minnesota Menorah
opened its year of activities on October 1, with the annual
"Get-Together" reception. During the evening, members of the freshman
class were introduced to members of the Faculty, alumni and upperclass
men and women. A short program entertained the assembly, which was
followed by a brief address by President H. W. Davis, expressing the
aims and purposes of the Society.
Following the plan adopted last year of centralizing the subjects of
study and discussion, our Program Committee has for this year again
divided the work of the Society into two divisions. The first semester
will be devoted to a presentation and discussion of some of the Jewish
problems, viz., anti-Semitism and certain social, economic, and
religious problems, while the second semester will be devoted to
proposed solutions of these problems through Zionism, Socialism,
Assimilation, etc. Students and representative members of the
community will alternate in the presentation of the various subjects
to the Society. Greater emphasis than ever before will be given to
general discussion by all the members of the Society at each meeting.
After careful consideration, the Minnesota Menorah has decided to
withdraw its campaign to bring the Intercollegiate Convention to
Minnesota this year, yielding in favor of the East and Philadelphia.
We wish, however, to thank the members of the Administrative Council
who had pledged us their support, and we take this opportunity to
announce that at this Convention Minnesota will earnestly urge the
delegates to fix the place for the Convention of 1916, and it is for
that Convention that Minnesota will put in its strongest bid.
