erman,
the new head of the Semitics Department, led the discussion with an
address on "The Religious Problems of To-day in the Light of Early
Jewish History and Literature."

On November 28, Mr. Fred M. Butzel, an alumnus of Michigan and
President of the United Jewish Charities in Detroit, led the
discussion with a talk on "Some Tendencies in the Social Work of the
Jews." Through the Intercollegiate Menorah Association we were enabled
to procure Professor Edward Chauncey Baldwin of the University of
Illinois to speak before us on December 12 on "Job." Also through the
Association we expect to have Professor Julian Morgenstern of the
Hebrew Union College.

We have this year more members than ever before, and they are
enthusiastic. But it is not in numbers alone that we must put our
trust. We should never worry--I know that some do--when the Menorah
has a small meeting if only it is successful. I think that we never
had a better meeting than when Dr. Kallen addressed fourteen members
two years ago. Isaiah's prophecy concerning the _Shearith Yisrael_,
the remnant of Israel, applies to our Menorah problem. The few will
redeem the many; they will uphold the ideals and culture of the Jewish
race.

But no matter how successful the semester will be, we shall only be
able to say that we have added but one stone to the pedestal which is
to be the permanent and deep foundation of the Menorah at Michigan.

WITH an attendance that broke all records, and a display of enthusiasm

opened its year of activities on October 1, with the annual
"Get-Together" reception. During the evening, members of the freshman
class were introduced to members of the Faculty, alumni and upperclass
men and women. A short program entertained the assembly, which was
followed by a brief address by President H. W. Davis, expressing the
aims and purposes of the Society.

Following the plan adopted last year of centralizing the subjects of
study and discussion, our Program Committee has for this year again
divided the work of the Society into two divisions. The first semester
will be devoted to a presentation and discussion of some of the Jewish
problems, viz., anti-Semitism and certain social, economic, and
religious problems, while the second semester will be devoted to
proposed solutions of these problems through Zionism, Social
