HE Catholic Student Club at the University of Nebraska was established in 1907. The club has a two-fold purpose; to further friendship, and to foster religious education. The moulding of friendships is accomplished by social activity, which enables students of the same religious affiliation to become acquainted. The religious side is well cared for at regular monthly breakfasts.

     Parties are held at least once a month. The Spring Party, the first affair after Lent, is always the big social function of the second semester. It is tradition that a picnic be given just before summer vacation. The club, by such social activity, serves to create many new friendships.

      The club continuously strives to acquaint the Catholic students of the University with one another; ever to foster religious ideals in student life; to co-operate to the utmost with other denominational groups; and to constantly work for the betterment of the University of Nebraska.

HE Christian Science Society was organized in the fall of 1913 for the purpose of uniting the Christian Scientists in the University in closer bonds of Christian fellowship and to afford those within the University additional opportunities to learn the truth about Christian Science. During the spring of 1913, information was obtained from other universities which had organizations of this kind and from the Christian Science Board of Directors in Boston, Mass. When the fall term opened students of Christian Science in the University and several alumni met together and organized, electing officers and drafting by-laws.

     The first president was Auril Marley. The president for 1911 was Francis Young; 1915, Mary Mills; 1916, Isaac F. Halverstadt; 1917, Greta Nunemaker; 1918, Romaine Halverstadt; 1919, Earl Halverstadt; 1920, Wilber Wolf; 1921, Gredon Nichols; 1922, Kennedy Healy; 1923, Gwendolyn Townsend; 1924, Lucy Weir; and 1925, Georgia Sitzer.

      Each year the society has provided for a Christian Science lecture and holds its meetings regularly on the campus the first and third Thursday of each month.

      Only students and faculty members of the University who are members of the Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass., are eligible for active membership in the society. Students and faculty members who are interested in Christian Science may become associate members upon application to the society.
