JUNTO ORGANIZES

The Junto finally pulled itself together, became organized, and is now on the road to integrating the aesthetic and the practical. With a membership of over fifty, the Governors have launched a program of musicales, addresses by distinguished speakers in various fields, exhibits of Americana, and Oxford Union discussions. Most interesting, and most productive of results are probably these last. They will deal largely with political and economic issues. The problem of greatest consequence to Junto's leaders seems that of the next war and what we are going to do about it. This has not yet been decided.

The Junto, in addition, sponsored a farewell banquet in honor of Senor Orozco on February 16th. The artist was presented with a Hamilton watch as a testimonial gift from the faculty and undergraduates of the College. Contrary to all banquet tradition, the speeches of the evening were short and uniformly good. Carl Hess presided, speaking for the undergraduates; Mr. Packard spoke for the art department and faculty, Mr. Goodrich for the Library, and Mr. Lewis Mumford attended as guest speaker. The eminent critic asserted that "now that our money has run out, life and art can enter in." This dynamic statement brought down the house. The Junto apparently has quite some base to work on.
