EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON: - The suggestions for the formation of a university club, now being made on all side, are timely, and should meet with consideration from both students and instructors in a great college like Harvard where there is danger of a man's personality being swamped and lost in the vortex of college life, and where it is almost impossible for a student to get any personal supervision or come under the beneficial influence of an instructor's personality, such an institution would be of the highest benefit. It is safe to say that a large part of the students here are "non-society" men, and have nothing but a superficial acquaintance with their fellow-students outside of the narrow circle into which they may have happened to fall. The result is that they tail to receive the benefit of the broad and cosmopolitan influence that association with men of various types and coming from all points of the country must expect. A university club would obviate this, and besides affording social enjoyments, it would bring both students and instructors into close relations, and would make them feel that they were one body united by common interests and aims and under one "alma mater."
