Echoes of Araby

A Phoenix Club

Last Thursday a meeting of the embryo Phoenix Club was convened. All those at V.U.C. with artistic inclinations rolled along (there were about forty). A provisional committee consisting of Misses Emanuel and Thompson and Messrs. Wells. O'Reilly and Toss-will was constituted. The assembled highbrows expressed the opinion that the study of modern poetry should be stressed. No one, however, attempted a definition of modern poetry.

The activities of the club are intended to embrace the whole gamut of things artistic, music, painting, sculpture, literature, etc. . . . Taste for beauty is to be fostered so as to give aesthetic sasifaction by a contemplation of all its forms.
