HE Dramatic Club, founded on February 28, 1901, by Miss H. Alice Howell, has existed on the campus for a quarter of a century. In that time the club has done much for the many students that have been members at different times, and also for the student body at large and the University.

     The club has always maintained a membership of between twenty and fifty students who are interested in dramatics and public speaking. Every member takes some active part in the affairs of the organization, which include the amateur productions presented, the bringing of well-known professional artists to Lincoln and the furnishing of entertainment on many occasions.

      The Dramatic Club has presented a skit for the annual University Night production each year and has been well received. Of especial benefit to the members are the private plays and productions in the regular meetings which are held often during the school year.

HE Ecclesia Club was organized in the fall of 1924. It has been a very active organization with the ideal of helpfulness and Christian comradeship for every girl on the University campus who holds preference for the Christian Church. The object of the club is to establish and maintain a friendly relationship; to arouse an interest in the church; to maintain as individual members a high ideal of scholarship; to strive for a broad, sympathetic interest in human activities; and to develop a rich and gracious personality.

     Every two weeks the girls hold a luncheon at the Grand Hotel, when they strive to catch a glimpse of the holiness and happiness of a friendship with Jesus Christ, through the realization of the beauty and joy of human friendship among themselves as followers of Him.

      The organization consists of forty active members. The Ecclesia Club has petitioned the National Bethany Circle and will be installed into this higher organization this spring.
