Assimilation, etc. Students and representative members of the
community will alternate in the presentation of the various subjects
to the Society. Greater emphasis than ever before will be given to
general discussion by all the members of the Society at each meeting.

After careful consideration, the Minnesota Menorah has decided to
withdraw its campaign to bring the Intercollegiate Convention to
Minnesota this year, yielding in favor of the East and Philadelphia.
We wish, however, to thank the members of the Administrative Council
who had pledged us their support, and we take this opportunity to
announce that at this Convention Minnesota will earnestly urge the
delegates to fix the place for the Convention of 1916, and it is for
that Convention that Minnesota will put in its strongest bid.

THE academic year 1915-16 opened very auspiciously for the Menorah at
Wisconsin. Fully 100 attended the first meeting, at Lathrop parlors,
on October 4. Twenty-four new members were added, swelling the total
membership to fifty-six. President Charles A. Lebowsky welcomed the
freshmen into the Society, and explained the broad and liberal basis
upon which the Menorah rested. Professor Dodge, Chairman of the
Menorah Prize Committee, announced the Menorah prize of $100 (the
largest individual prize in the University of Wisconsin), and urged
all members to try for it. The closing speech of the evening was given
by Dr. H. M. Kallen, mentor of the organization. Dr. Kallen spoke on
"The Menorah Movement--Its Relation to Jewish Academic Life." After
the meeting a general mixer was held, refreshments served, and the
members became acquainted with each other.

At the second meeting of the year, on October 18, Mr. Alexander
Aaronsohn of Palestine, brother of the famous agronomist, addressed an
enthusiastic audience upon the subject of "Jewish Colonization in
Palestine." The speaker had but recently arrived from that land, after
many thrilling adventures, and his talk was most inspiring. Mr.
Aaronsohn emphasized the fact that while formerly, since time
immemorial, it has been the custom, and in fact the ambition, of every
Jew to return to Palestine that he might die there, to-day, it was not
to die, but to live, that the Jew returned to the land of his fathers.
At the following meeting the Society discussed the Russian situation;
Mr. Zigmund Salit gave an interesting paper describing
