About Readers’ and Writers’ Club
The Readers’ club was formed in the college during the academic year 2015-16.
Readers’ and Writers ‘Club was functioning independently since its inception, but later both combined into a single club. The great British Essayist Francis Bacon’s quotation, “Reading Maketh a full man, Conference A ready Man and Writing an Exact man” has taken as this club’s motto. At St. Thomas College, we believe that all students of the college deserve a curriculum which encourages both extensive reading and writing. We aim to promote the concept of reading for pleasure and also creative writing of our students through the activities of this club.
