a
splendid talk on "The Attitude of Jewish Young Men towards Jewish
Religion", which was warmly discussed. Another paper was delivered by
A. I. Schwey on "Hebrew Literature."

Through the kindness of the Intercollegiate Menorah Association, into
which we were admitted at the Cincinnati Convention, we have secured a
Menorah Library, which has been put in a conspicuous place in the
reading room of the University library, for the benefit of all the
students. But the Menorah members especially intend to make good use
of the books in the preparation of papers and in regular study. We
have also been fortunate in securing a set of the Jewish Encyclopedia
from Mr. Cyrus L. Sulzberger of New York for presentation to the
University library. The coming of the Encyclopedia and the Menorah
Library has been greatly appreciated by the authorities, and the Maine
Menorah Society is happy to have been able already to be of concrete
service to the University. All of our activities have caused favorable
interest on the part of both the student body and the college
authorities, and a great change has come about in the attitude towards
the Jewish men. We look forward to even greater progress as well as
hard work in the future.

Our Menorah Society this year has done at least two things. First, it
has definitely held to a program of work; secondly, it has become
accredited as representative of the Jewish students to the Jewish
students themselves, and even more to the non-Jews. The opposition
that some of the students manifested in other years has not been so
active, and the Society drew a large proportion of them, sometimes all
of them, to its meetings. The non-Jews, especially among the Faculty,
have exhibited an actively interested and helpful attitude. In this
connection, our thanks are due Prof. J. E. Wrench, of the History
department, whose presence at all of our meetings greatly stimulated
profitable discussion.

Of the Jewish faculty men, Dr. Henry M. Sheffer, of the Philosophy
department, one of the founders of the Harvard Menorah Society, took a
particularly active interest in the work, especially in the
preparation of our programs. The program for the second semester was
on "Typical Hebraic Ideals", as follows:

I. Transitional:
1. Hellenism J. Sholtz
2. Emancipation J.
