These points were incorporated in a letter to the Christmas of the Board of Preachers. The results were that: first, a special service for Freshmen for held: and secondly, the men conducting those services during the first week were men who interested the students.

Cooperation Is Chief Aim of Catholic Club Endeavors
The opening meeting of the St. Paul's Catholic Club was held on October 7. 1924, in the new club house at 8 DeWolfe Street. Cambridge. Plans for the year were discussed before a large gathering of club members and Catholic students of the University. Professors Jeremiah D. M. Ford and Louis J. A. Mercier gave interesting talks on the history of the Club emphasizing the importance of cooperation among the Catholic students.
Monthly Meetings Prove Successful
Throughout the year, the meetings have been held on the first Tuesday of each month, with an average attendance of so. All of these meetings have been addressed by prominent men, among whom have been Mayor Edward L. Quinn of Cambridge and District Attorney Thomas C. O' Brien of Suffolk County.
The Reverend Fr. William R. Gunn of the St. Paul's Parish, Cambridge, has succeeded Reverend Fr. John J. Ryan as the chaplain of the Club. Fr. Gunn has given a series of instructive talks during the year on the "Bible".
The plans for the remainder of the year include the Annual Dance to be held at the Copley Plaza on April 13, 1925, and the Annual Corporate Communion Breakfast of the Catholic students of the University on Sunday, May 10, 1925. Communion will be administered at the St. Paul's Church; and the breakfast will be in the Living Room of the Union.
The policy of the club has been to extend to every Catholic student of the University the opportunity to meet his fellow students in social and religious ways. Respectfully submitted. Joseph Sullivan '25, President
Toc H Movement Helps Foster Religion, Says Secretary
The office of Religious Work Secrets was mangurated in 1923 under Freedoms C.Lawrence '20: the position was an experiment in trying to reach men in a personal way and to help them to a larger realization of the meaning of Religion in their own lives. The result of the work was group of interested men which was a rich heritage for this years work. The ultimate task of the year was to build into the life of Phillips Brooks House the spirit of Christ, which is god manifest. In various movements in the University, and to encourage men to a press their religion by taking responsibility in life and service in the opportunities which are abundant here. The Christian Association is being Marie with officers who have such purpose and as an index of their determination fulfill this purpose, almost the entire cabinet plans to go to the student conference at Silver Bay this June.
Three Groups Started For Prayer
The work of the secretary has been varied. Three groups have been meeting for prayer and consideration of the Christian way of life. The first is the Friday morning meetings, varying from ten to 25 men who have gathered throughout the year for devotions and the sharing of fellowship and Christian experience. These meetings have helped many men to a deeper knowledge of God and the purpose of their own lives. The second group has been smaller; it meets daily at 1.30 for prayer and fellowship. In it have met most of the men who are to be leaders in the Christian Association this coming year.
The last group grew out of the visit of Mr. Clayton of England to Cambridge and his accounts of the work of Toc H. The idea is similar to the aims of the other two groups; it has behind it the purpose to carry the spirit of Christ into every moment of life and to be alert to express it in action. The meetings have been taking place under the name of Toc H.
