As Dr. George Sherrill, head of the department of political science said, "Professors is the strangest animals."

Jr. For a long time the faculty has recognized the need for some kind of organization that would tend to make them more cohesive as a social group. The members of the faculty live all over Columbia and in the past had no common meet ing plce. They had no proper ontacts with each other. Needing a plece where they could meet together for social :vents and get to know each other better, the Faculty CJub was fo:med. The present group grew out of a committee appointed two years ago by President Smith to inves tigate the possibilities of estab lishing aI faculty club. At the present time the committee is A. Rt. Lewis, president; Edmund Yaghjian, vice-president; Miss Virginia '!tmirdin, secretary, and Roy Garrett, treasurer. In ad dition. there is an executive com mittee composed of W. L. Wil liams, A. L. Geisenheimer, R. D. Ochs, and Miss Ruth Morse. W. A. Foran is chairman of the enter t.ainment committee. A. L. Geis enheimer is chairman of the project and fund raising commit tee, and T. D.
