Student Organizations and Activities 187 of good fellowship among all the students of the University. The Union elects annually a Student Council, which takes charge of certain student activities. The Woman's League was organized to further the spirit of unity among the women of the University and to be a medium for the maintenance of high social standards. The League manages a loan fund, supports a room in the Burnham hospital and provides the magazines for the Woman's Building. The Students' Hospital Association is a voluntary mutual benefit organization whose purpose is to provide hospital care for its members in the event of illness. Other organizations are the Lincoln League, Ivrim, The Komenian Society, Motorcycle Club, Sewanee Circle, Scribbler's Club, Eifle Club, Country Life Club, and Intercollegiate Prohibition Association. In addition to the organizations already mentioned there exist also the four class organizations, each of which has its officers and its committees to take charge of the various functions given by the class in the course of the year. STUDENT ACTIVITIES A large number of meetings, entertainments and contests occur in the course of each year as a natural result of the existence of the various student organizations. Some of these are of so general interest as to become at the time of their occurrence the focus of attention of the entire student body. HOME-COMING The annual fall Home-Coming was established in 1910. The idea met with great favor from the first both with alumni and with the students. The number and variety of events occurring during the two days of Home-Coming may be seen from the program of 1916, which was as follows: ALUMNI HOME-COMING, 1916 Friday Afternoon and Evening, November 17 1:30 Parade of the Senior Hobo Band to Illinois Field. 2:30 Class Championship Football Game, Illinois Field.
