experiences in that land of suffering. Mr. Milton Moses delivered an
oration on "The Wandering Jew."

On November 15, Rev. C. A. Greenman, of the First Unitarian Church of
Milwaukee, addressed us on a striking theme, "The Relationship Between
Judaism and Unitarianism." Other speakers to follow are Justice Hugo
Pam, of the Chicago Appellate Court, Rabbi Joseph Stolz, and Dr.
Horace J. Bridges, of the Chicago Ethical Culture Society, besides
members of our own Faculty.

In order to arouse even more enthusiasm for the Menorah idea, the
executive committee has arranged to hold a number of informal dinners.
Since these dinners are given primarily for members of the Society, no
outside speakers will be invited. Short and snappy toasts will be
given by members, the alumni will be called upon if any happen to be
present, and the Menorah Song will be rendered by the ensemble. If the
first dinner proves to be successful, and there is every reason to
believe that it will, these affairs will become an established part of
the Menorah program at Wisconsin.

THE opening of the scholastic year 1915-16 marked a radical change in
the policy hitherto followed by the Western Reserve Menorah Society.
During the first few years of its existence membership was open only
to the male students of the university and attendance was necessarily
small. Interest in the Society itself began to dwindle until finally
it became clear that some radical step would have to be taken if the
Society was to remain intact and worthy of the name.

Accordingly, at a meeting of the executive committee held shortly
after the opening of college in the fall, it was decided that
hereafter membership would be open to both the men and the women of
the university. Seventy-five students gathered for the opening meeting
held on October 24. At later meetings, Dr. Lamberton, of the Faculty,
lectured on "The Influence of Hellenism on Hebraic Culture," and Dr.
Daniel A. Huebsch, noted art critic and lecturer, spoke on "The
Neglect of the Old Testament." Dr. Huebsch urged that inasmuch as the
Menorah Society was devoted to Jewish study, it was the proper place
for a revival of interest particularly in Biblical literature and
other Hebrew writings. These works were distinctively the Jews' own
and should not be neglected by them as the younger generation was
inclined to do. Both lectures were well attende
