In the fall of 1903 there was organized on Mount Oread for social purposes what is now known as the Oread Club. Among the most prominent of what might be called charter members of the club were Day Pierson, Joe Plumb, Solon Smith, Roy Dewer, Howard Sawyer, Chet Smith and George Belt.
THE OREAD CLUB.
The organization gives dancing parties in Everett Hall once every month. These dances are informal and the guest list is made as representative as possible of University social circles. The members of the club hold a business meeting before each party and hand in the names of the guests whom they wish invited. If there is sufficient objection to any name it is dropped temporarily but may be handed in for a subsequent party. The invitation committee of the club then meets and completes the list of guests. The invitations are issued usually a week before the dance in order to give the committee ample time to fill the places of those guests who are obliged to send regrets.
The membership of the club con' sists of non fraternity young men, chosen from the various schools of the University. Their names are as follows: Karl E. Kilby, Orville Farquharson, Chet Smith, Earl Nelson, Chas, Van Fleet, Floyd Shank, Herman Cuby, John Smith, Vern Curl, Lawrence Brett, Frank Smith, Ray Barton, D. Stanley Adams, L. Henry Goodrich, Jolian Jenkinson, John Parker, Earl R. Gentry.

In writing a review of the fall work at this time, it is necessary to make the review general. The work for the year began before the close of the term last spring. A twelve hundred edition hand-book was gotten out for free distribution to students. A card catalogue of rooms was arranged a week before the fall term opened, and was used to advantage by a number of students. The Employment Bureau grows in importance each year. The work this year is considerably larger than last, a larger number of permanent positions being secured for students. Many men were aided who could not otherwise stay in school.
Several Bible Study classes and one Mission Study class have been running this fall. Two religious meetings per week are held, one Thursday evening and one Sunday afternoon. The Thursday evening meeting is the devotional and regular business meeting of the association, and is held at the association house. Two receptions have been given jointly with the Y.W.C.A. at Snow Hall, and one reception was given to the new men at the house early in the year. The parrons of the house have been open at all times to students. The membership shows a substantial increase ever last year, and will be much larger before the year closes. A General Secretary, Mr. Petit of the University of California, is employed to devote his whole time to the work of the association.
The association as an organization stands not only for the mutual benefit of its members but also for helpfulness o every man in the University.
