Great Books
Group Meets
Great Books Study club of Ard-
more will meet Friday at 7:30 p
m in the Carnegie library for the
purpose of electing officers for the
coming year and for the trans-
action of other business
This group takes pride in the
showing made during its first year
according to J S Mullen presi-
dent and organizer Much en-
thusiasm marked the first year
he said The members feel that
the purpose and objectives of the
group are highly educational and
point out that the four-year course
with collateral reading is equiv-
alent to a university literary edu-
cation since it deals with the most
profound thoughts of the race
The membership is now between
40 and 50 and is growing It is
composed of some of the keenest
thinkers in Ardmore Mullen says
More than 50000 this year will
be studying in these clubs rapidly
forming all over America where
more than 800 are now active
This program is backed by the
Great Books Foundation of Chi-
cago an organization for far-
thinking patriotic men and
women including officials of the
University of Chicago the En-
cyclopedia Britannica leading
lawyers and men of affairs who
serve without compensation
The clubs are non-profit non-
political non-religious non-propaganda
units There are no dues
nor other expense attached Every
member however is required to
obtain a set of books which costs
less than $10 for the year’s course
or their equivalent These books
are supplied at the cost of print-
ing The whole purpose of the
movement is self-education and
to make better citizens Mullen
adds
