HE Math Club, an organization of faculty and students, who are interested in mathematics, was founded in 1915. Its purpose is to stimulate interest in the various branches of mathematics, to supplement classroom instruction, and to afford opportunities for students of like interests to become better acquainted. Members are selected from the more advanced courses in mathematics, on the basis of scholarship, and on faculty recommendation.

     Open meetings are held each month, at which time programs pertaining to some phase of mathematics or allied subjects are given, Some of the topics presented this year are, "The Eleven Check," "Mathematical Recreations," "Mathematics in Map-making," "The Problem of Apollonius," "The American Numeral System," and "How to Draw a Straight Line." The policy this year has been to have two speakers on every program, the one a member of the faculty or some outside speaker, and the other a student member.

      Professor A. R. Congdon is faculty advisor of the club.

HE Methodist Student Council is composed of thirty-six students, equally divided between boys and girls. Meetings are held Friday noons, twice a month, around the lunch table at the Grand Hotel. The students composing the Council are attendants at ten Lincoln Methodist Churches. By this means, they are able to co-ordinate campus activities with the activities of the student groups in the churches. The Council seeks to interest other Methodist students in these church groups.

     During the year 1925-26, the program of the Council included visitation of new students at the opening of school and the promotion of Church Affiliation Sunday. Its program for the school year included five banquets, four campus parties and one picnic. These activities are open to all students. The Council has co-operated with the student organizations of other church groups and the Christian Associations in putting on two inter-denominational banquets and in the promotion of religious activities on the campus.

      The Methodist Student Council was organized about five years ago. Personnel has changed as students have come and gone, but interest in the work of the Council has ever increased.
