Editors Daily Crimson:

In yesterday's issue of the CRIMSON there appeared an editorial in regard to the action of those who called the first meeting of the Camera Club and disparaging what you are pleased to call the "policy" pursued by the club.

The meeting which was held on Friday last was at first intended only as a meeting to talk over the subject of forming a club. It was ascertained on Thursday afternoon that if we wished to get a room in a college building, fitted up during the spring recess, we must have a petition before the Overseers on Monday, March 25. Two meetings are usually necessary to form permanently such a society, and there was only time for one meeting in this case. As many men as possible were collected on Thursday evening and a temporary organization made with a committee to suggest a constitution. On Friday a meeting was held at which a constitution was adopted, officers elected and instructed to place before the Overseers the petition for a room in Sever. The men who were interested in this were actuated solely by a desire to have some sort of dark room ready as soon after recess as possible. There has been no effort nor attempt made to exclude any who are eligible to membership. The men who issued the call sent notices to everyone they knew to be actively interested in photography. Had there been more time at their disposal they would certainly have called a public meeting. The petition has been presented to the overseers and is now in their hands.

All those who wish to join the club are requested to send their names to Mr. Woods, at Thayer 66.

The club is not a private one, but one formed to forward the art of photography in the University.
