At the second meeting of the Society, November 1, the speaker was
Rabbi Eugene Kohn, of Baltimore, whose interesting talk on "The
Elements of Stability and Progress in Judaism" elicited warm
discussion. The Society hopes to have regular monthly meetings, for
which attractive programs have been arranged by the Executive
Committee.

FORMED in December, 1913, forced to cope at first with many opposing
and discouraging elements, the New York University Menorah Society at
University Heights has rapidly mounted the ladder of success and has
entered upon a banner year. We have set two great aims before us for
this year: first, to make the Society strong internally, and,
secondly, to bring the purposes and ideals of the Menorah movement
before the alumni of New York University.

Various plans are being utilized for the fulfillment of the first aim.
The Executive committee succeeded during the summer in getting
together an excellent list of prominent men to lecture before the
Society on current topics of Jewish interest. A prospectus was issued
in the first week of the college year, containing, in brief, a
discussion of the Menorah Idea, a history of the Intercollegiate
Menorah Association, a resume of the New York University Menorah
Society, a speech by Chancellor Elmer E. Brown delivered before the
Menorah Society, a word about Associate membership and about Menorah
Prizes, and the program for the year. Using this prospectus as a means
of introduction to those unacquainted with the movement, a vigorous
campaign was conducted by a well organized committee to increase the
membership. A doubled membership in two weeks was the result of this.
Another means towards getting the new men to join was the Freshmen
Reception, held on October 14, at which Dean Bouton of the College of
Arts and Chancellor Hurwitz were the speakers. This reception proved a
great success.

Besides attending the regular bi-weekly lectures of the Society, each
member is urged to join one of the eight study circles in modern
Jewish History and Hebrew (elementary and advanced). A well organized
committee has charge of these study circles. It has been successful in
signing up nearly a hundred men. The study circles are conducted by
several members who are also Seminary students and by several rabbis
of the city. These study circl
