Die Rothensteiner Gesellschaft was formed on the supposition that she is right, to study German literature Heine, Herder, Schiller, Lessing, Goethe. The Gesellschaft has two patrons, St. Boniface in heaven and the Reverend John Rothensteiner in St. Louis. Father Rothensteiner has sent us hundreds of books in German, some rare first editions, and some still wet from the press. The society offers opportunity for acquiring facility of expression in German and for a knowledge of German literature beyond that which is possible in brief class hours. This year a goodly number of pledges were initiated. Their fears were somewhat palliated by the one-act play, Die Kluge Magd, after which the president arose and in German ordered the trembling Fraulein to go through various maneuvers. A volume of Father Rothensteiner's poems was the prize. Later in the year the Gesellschaft celebrated Father's seventy-second birthday with a program of readings of his poems. This year the club is particularly interested in Goethe because of the national intercollegiate contest calling for essays on his youthful works, ideal of character, and lyrics. Perhaps next year they will have a loving-cup to buy a trophy case for. Page 64 Top Row M. Grace, M. Dick, M. M. Morrissey, A. Duhkin, R. Riordan, A. Golombowicz, H. Demetry. Second Row G.

ETA PHI ALPHA After withstanding the trials incident to the initial year of any organization, Eta Phi Alpha devised plans for its second year. First of all there was the matter of pledges. The new students of Greek and Latin naturally desired to become members of the Classical club. A point system was formulated whereby the pledges, upon the successful completion of a given number of points, would be admitted to the club. Those who were on probation enthusiastically started working for points. By December most of the pledges were ready for admission, and on December 14, eleven members were received into the club. Two ambitious members, Margaret Grace and Mary Alargaret Morrissey, have tried lexicography in the field of medieval Latin, in collaboration with the Reverend F. S. Betten, S.J.. of Alarquette University, for his Dictionary of Medieval British Latin. At the regular monthly meetings papers are read on ancient mythology or phases of Roman or Greek life. Occasionally, a member tells of her travels in Greece or Italy. A mock debate modeled on the Northwestern-Mundelein contest, on the subject, Resolved: That Helen of Troy should be granted immediate freedom, furnished diversion at one meeting. The combination of strong Homeric epithets with arguments pro and con Hellenic independence proved to be too much for the gravity of the audience. Incidentally, the negative team won.
