At a well-attended meeting of the Harvard Free Wool Club held last evening, the proposition of the executive committee to change the name of the organization to the "Harvard Reform Club" was thoroughly discussed. The president of the club, Mr. Gray, stated that the proposed change would in no way weaken the past support of the dogma of free raw materials but would include other reform doctrineswhich are now attracting widespread attention and which are claiming the support of all persons interested in the welfare of our national institutions.
The president's remarks seemed to meet with the approbation of the members present, and after some discussion a motion was made and carried to the effect that the executive committee be empowered to make the changes in the constitution necessary to a change of name and bring the matter before the next meeting of the club.
A letter from R. H. Davis, president of the Union Club, was then read by the secretary. The purport of the letter was that the Free Wool Club would be considered one of the Union Clubs and therefore held to the usual yearly assessment. After some discussion, it was ascertained that the Free Wool Club had never officially assented to a proposition to belong to the Union Club." And a motion was made by one of the members "that the Free Wool Club does not consider itself bound to pay any assessment to the Union Club, for the reason that it has never officially joined the Union Club. This motion was carried and the meeting was then adjourned.
