At the Univesity students were still able to get together and learn German despite the loyalty trial. No student was ever put on trial for possible disloyalty. This proved an interesting point as students participated in activites that the Board of Regents tried to move away from during the war. This German Club stood out because the students would get together and talk German and try and learn the language with one another. They wanted to learn the language so that they could talk to Germans and learn from them despite the United States involvement in the war.
