as though he were taking a course in it, which in reality he
will be doing. He will have access to the club's library,
consisting of several hundred books and magazines on science
and Science Fiction. In our library are the latest Science
Fiction books published, such as "Red Snow," by F. W.
Moxley, "The Monster Men," by E. R. Burroughs and "The World
Below," by S. Fowler Wright. In our collection we have
reprints that we feel sure many of our present Science
Fiction fans have not read. We have a great many scientific
books and magazines. The club buys regularly Popular
Science, Popular Mechanics, Science and Invention, and
others.
Those who would like to visit the clubroom will be gladly
received. The clubroom is at 266 E. Van Cortland Ave. Get
off at Mosholu Parkway station on the Jerome Avenue line.
Our secretary, Allen Glasser, of 1610 University Ave., New
York City, will receive all inquiries for information.
The Scienceers have a branch in Clearwater, Florida, and
