There have been some suggestions here at Cambridge about the formation of Harvard clubs at the different preparatory schools in the vicinity. Yale already has founded several clubs of this sort, and from the article below we should judge that she has others in view. Still, that the style of these clubs is not looked upon favorably by all the preparatory schools, is amply proved by the appended article which was published as an editorial in the Philippians, the organ of the Phillips Andover students. This matter has never been looked upon with much favor here at Harvard, for we have never believed in exerting any undue influence upon a man in his choice of a college:-

"We understand that during the past week, at the inspiration of the Andover Club at Yale, steps were taken towards the formation of a Yale Club in this school. We were much astonished that any such action should be taken by the students and that it should receive the sanction of any portion of the faculty, especially when it is known that a few administrations since the converting of the school into a feeder for one college and the giving to it a sectarian character, alienated the support of the Phillips family, which support has never since been recovered, and the loss of which has cost the institution a great deal of money. No matter with what ostensible object such a club should be formed, its ultimate purpose would be to increase the size of the Yale delegation. Any organized action tending to influence men in their choice of a college would create an intense feeling between the partisans of that institution and the students of other college preferences, which has no place in a school of this character, where entire unity is especially to be desired.

"We believe that not only would it affect the social relations of the fellows but would in the end be prejudicial to the best athletic interests of the school. Therefore we are emphatically opposed to any scheme which shall pledge any portion of the school to any particular college, or which shall in any way tend to increase the size of the delegation to any college. Feeling as we do in the matter, we cannot remain silent. We would urge the men who have the movement in charge to carefully consider its full import before taking any definite action.
