We understand that the clubs which form the Union Club have become exceedingly remiss in their obligations to the organization. Some of the clubs have not yet paid their rent. That is a matter which each club, that has the slightest pride in its own name, will immediately regulate.

There is another matter, however, which appears more serious. When the club was formed, the representatives of the different organizations agreed to collect enough money from the members to pay for the expenditures necessary to be made immediately. Under this agreement the club rooms were furnished. The money which the clubs promised has not yet been paid, and the Union Club is consequently over four hundred dollars in debt. We cannot understand the reason of this deficit. Either the officers of the various clubs which agreed to subscribe have been abominably lazy in not collecting, or the members have been utterly blind to their obligations. A charitable view would be that the members have not thoroughly understood the matter. We hope that the state of affairs is now plain enough before them. The college will not be disposed to look kindly on the clubs if they refuse longer to pay their honest debts.
