At a meeting this week of the directors of the club which has been known as the Economical Club and the University club, it was decided to again change the name. In view of the fact that the club is to occupy the Foxcroft house it is thought appropriate that it should be known as the Foxcroft Club. The organization is in a flourishing condition. The finance committee reported that over fourteen hundred dollars had been raised by subscription; this sum will be sufficient to fit up the house as intended. The house committee also made a very favorable report, which was accepted. There are now one hundred and forty names on the membership list to the club.
