K. of C. Had Enjoyable Meeting Sunday Afternoon.

The Rensselaer and Collegeville orders of the Knights of Columbus were visited Sunday by J. Madison Walsh, of Washington, Ind., district deputy, T. J. Connelly, and Grand Knight Atchetz, of Lafayette council. In the afternoon the officers talked to the students at a meeting held at the college audiorium and were afterward entertained by the St. Joseph faculty. On May 20th the Knights are going to confer degree work in the first three degrees of the order at Collegeville and at present 17 students and faculty have applied for membership. and many more are expected by, that time. In the evening the visiting officers were entertained by the Rensselaer Columbus club at St. Augustine's parochial school hall and at this, meeting it was decided to establish a council of K. of C.’s in Rensselaer, when all candidates from this city will be given the degrees at the joint initiation of St. Joe on the above named date. At present the Columbus club has many applicants and the decision to establish a council in this city will doubtless be the cause of the regular class of candidates taking the first three degrees on May 30. The Columbus club will hold a business meeting Tuesday evening to complete the plans for establishing th? council here.
