The main features of the evening were pulling taffy and making fudge. Those present were: Misses St. John, Elliot, Maehling, Taylor, Mapes, Turner, Johnson, Noel, Coats, Madden, Gustin, Gray, Perkins and Mrs. Steinmetz. Miss Anna Cox was the chaperon.Prof. J. B. Wisely gave a very interesting talk to the society, February 25, on Gene Stratton Porter. The talk was much appre¬ ciated.The study of Victor Hugo is proving very interesting and instructive to the society.FORUM.Two more names were added to the Forum roster during the last month, those of Sherman T. Sublette and Rollo Dobbs. Mr. Sublette was voted into the society February 17, and became a member a week later. Mr. Dobbs was voted in March 3, and signed the constitution March 10.The annual winter term dance given by the active members for the graduate members wasdone away with this year, and it was decided to have all members devote their time and ener¬ gies toward the procuring of a Forum house, which, it is hoped, will be ready by the begin¬ ning of the Spring Term. Several old Forum men will be in I. S. N. the coming term.H. L. Carmack of Brazil, Charles Fowler of Bicknell and James F. Mackell of Montgom¬ ery were week-end guests of Forum members within the last few weeks.PHILOMATHEAN.If a man empties his purse into his head, no man can take it away from him. An invest¬ ment in knowledge always pays the best in¬ terest.For several weeks the Philomathean Society has studied Mae Sinclair and her works, and is now studying George Meredith.The open meeting on March 7 was observed as German day. The program was:Piano Duet Misses Rippetoe and NewtonThe Modern German Novel Prof. MuttererVocal Solo—Du bist wie eine Blume Esther NewtonThis meeting was of special interest because of the subject matter of Mr. Mutterers talk. Our limited knowledge of the modern German novel was broadened and enriched by this dis¬ cussion. No one could have presented the sub¬ ject in a more spirited and entertaining manner than the professor, because he was speaking of his own beloved country and people.Miss Margaret Hardy visited in Terre Haute Saturday, March 7.Nothing is achieved before it be thoroughly attempted.—Sir Philip Sidney.
