RESEARCH SOCIETIES.
A number of the Academic Schools have regular meetings of students
and professors for discussion of topics connected with graduate study.
Papers are presented on the progress of certain investigations by the writers,
some of which are published as monographs, or contributed to technical
journals. These clubs are stimulating centers of research activity. The
scientific society of Sigma Xi, a chapter of which has been recently installed
in the University, is an important organization for the advancement of technical
knowledge. While not specifically an organization of the Department
of Graduate Studies, the University Committee on Research is a valuable
auxiliary of the Department. This committee administers an annual appropriation
for promoting research in the various Departments of the University,
especially in the matter of the publication of the results of original
investigation, and so aids the general cause of advanced scholarship. In
addition to all these specialized groups, there is a Faculty Discussion Club
which meets monthly to hear and discuss addresses by professors on timely
topics of philosophical and scientific interest.
