We have received a communication which we are unable to print because of its length, urging that Dane Hall be redeemed from its present uses and altered to suit the needs of a university club. The writer considers the formation of such a club extremely desirable, both because many students are necessarily debarred from admittance to the more important secret societies, and because many of those who are fortunate enough to become members of them are obliged to go to heavy expense in the way of fees and assessments. This plan for a university club is by no means a new one, in fact, the matter was discussed in the old Harvard Herald some few years ago. Yet the project has many points to commend it to favorable deliberation. For instance, by forming a club of this kind with a large membership, a small assessment fee would be amply sufficient to provide many desirable features of club life, such as a good reading-room, a comfortable smoking room, and telephone and mailing facilities. We think the scheme is worthy of discussion, and we envite communications on the subject from the undergraduates.
