HE Cosmopolitan Club was organized during the second semester of the year 1922-23 for the purpose of fostering good fellowship and a better understanding among students of all nations in the University. The motto of the club, "Above All Nations is Humanity," indicates that the ideal of the organization is to help eliminate international misunderstandings and race prejudices. The club attempts to realize its purpose by varied programs and through social functions. At present there are eight nations represented in the club.

     At the national convention of the Association of Cosmopolitan Clubs in December, 1924, the Nebraska club was elected to membership in the national organization. Then in December, 1925, at the fifth district convention, the Nebraska chapter was elected to be one of the six national vice-presidential chapters.

      One of the chief activities of the club is the International Night program, which is given once each year. The program is composed of skits, some of which are given by the different national groups and are designed to portray certain phases of the national life or customs. The club hopes to have a Cosmopolitan chapter house very soon, which will be the center of club activities and a home for foreign students while they are attending university.

HE Delian Literary Society, organized in 1887, still upholds the democratic ideals of its founders. Its aim is to promote literary activity, provide social life, and to foster interest in high scholarship among its men and women members. The social meetings, which are held weekly, are open to all university students and are devoted to both recreational games and stunts and to programs furnished by the members.

     Besides the ordinary, general programs, the year's activities include the girls' program, the boys' program, the new members' program, the Alumni Thanksgiving Banquet, the "Chautauqua Night" when Delian is hostess to Palladian and Union, the formal spring banquet when the annual Prevaricator is distributed and alumni come back to renew old friendships, and the annual all-day picnic at Crete.

      Delian has afforded many freshmen and upper classmen the opportunity to develop their inclination towards group organization. Its bonds are so strong that alumni scattered over Nebraska and other states have formed clubs and meet together whenever they can. Graduates have profited by these friendships and by the training in fellowship and leadership which Delian has given them.
