The second year, just closed, of the Clark Menorah Society has been
most successful. At the weekly meetings, papers were given by various
members on such subjects as Reform Judaism, Orthodoxy, Zionism,
Assimilation, which were followed by entertaining and instructive
discussions. Reports were also given by members on current books of
Jewish interest, among them being: Fishberg's "The Jews," Ruppin's
"The Jews of Today," and Israel Cohen's "Jewish Life in Modern Times."
Current magazine articles of Jewish interest were also reviewed and
discussed.
Members of the Faculty and outside speakers, including Rabbi M. M.
Eichler and Jacob de Haas of Boston, gave addresses at various times
and Rabbi H. H. Rubenovitz of Boston delivered a series of lectures on
"The Maccabees."
The first banquet of the Society, held December 17, 1914, was a great
success and helped stir up much interest among the students in the
Menorah. (For a note on this dinner see the April MENORAH JOURNAL,
page 140; for the after-dinner address of President G. Stanley Hall
see the April JOURNAL, page 87).
A program for the next year has already been made and the forecast for
the future is most promising.

The academic year 1914-1915 opened auspiciously for the University of
Colorado Menorah Society. The old men returned with new and greater
enthusiasm, and the new men quickly caught the same spirit. Our first
meeting was a get-together affair where acquaintances were renewed and
new acquaintances made.
The meetings of the first semester were addressed entirely by the
members of the Society who chose their material from the excellent
Menorah Library. Those of the second semester were addressed in part
by outside men and in part by members. During the year two meetings
were held in Denver in conjunction with the University of Denver
Menorah. These were well attended and the principal addresses given by
the heads of the two universities.
