The history of the Union Club presents a disgraceful spectacle for some of the clubs which compose it. When the Union Club was formed, certain college clubs agreed to come into the organization, and promised a certain amount towards the share of the room rent. Each club, moreover, was represented on the board of directors, and any action which the directors took, bound the other members. This board of directors took charge of fitting up the rooms, and, with perhaps one exception, did this as economically as could be expected. To meet this expense of furnishing and running the rooms an assessment was levied on all the clubs composing the Union. The treasurer of the union was naturally made responsible for the rent and for all bills contracted by the club. He paid out the money and then turned to the clubs for their promised share of the rent and for their share of the furnishings and running expenses, which had been voted by their representatives on the board of directors. As regards the rent there were five clubs which did not pay up all they promised, leaving the treasurer over one hundred dollars out of pocket for rent alone. Then some of the clubs refused to pay the assessment that was levied, thereby increasing the treasurer's loss by nearly two hundred dollars. The call of the treasurer was repeated at the beginning of this year, and still there are clubs which have refused to pay their dues. Such action on the part of these clubs is nothing less than a shameful breach of faith Having given their promise to support the organization, and having ordered their treasurer to make certain expenditures the clubs are bound by all the rules of honor to keep their word, and pay their obligations.
