RECEPTION ON FRIDAY RED PAINT IS APPLIED MEET
In order to formulate plans for the
year, the Union and Patterson Literary Societies held a joint meeting last
Saturday evening, September 18, in
the Patterson Literary Society hall.
The meeting was called to order by
O. M. Edwards, and nominations for
chairman" being declared in order, J.
T. Gooch was elected by acclamation.
Devotional exercises were conducted
by M. U. Conditt, who read a chapter
of the Bible and led in prayer. After
the devotional exercises the organiza
tion of the meeting was completed by
electing W. C. Shinnick secretary.
The purpose of the meeting was set
forth by (Messrs. O. M. Edwards and
L. Nelson as follows:
That there
must be something done to arouse literary enthusiasm among the students
of the University, that not only must
enthusiasm
be aroused, but some
means must be devised by which we
may place the societies upon a practical basis; that the funds in the treas
uries were exhausted and financial
embarassment Is suffered every scholastic year because of the lack of
funds. It was also stated that the
president and the deans were backing
the societies and that the Freshmen
and others were desirous of joining
the societies.
Many plans were suggested by
which the emergency might be met,
and after due consideration the assessing of initiation fees and dues
was decided upon, viz:
(1)
Each
new member should be charged $2.50
initiation fee and be exempt from further fees for the ensuing collegiate
year. (2) Each old member should
pay $1.50 annual dues, to be paid In
two equal installments at the beginning of the first and second semesters,
respectively.
A plan of campaign was adopted al
so, which
as for the chairman to appoint a committee of two, one mem- her of the Union Literary Society and
one member of the Patterson Literary
Society, to get a list of the names of
the Freshmen from the Registrar and
