The proposed athletic club house for which subscriptions are being raised at Pennsylvania, is a project of sufficient note to attract general attention in collegiate circles. The desirability of bringing the members of athletic teams into close contact, off the field as well as on it, and on a social as well as on an athletic basis, is so apparent that it requires no comment. This purpose, hardly less than that of providing first rate food, is the aim of the usual training table system.

At Pennsylvania, owing to the comparative lack of dormitory accommodations, there is, perhaps more than elsewhere, need of special arrangements to bring the members of teams into close companionship, but it is not to be doubted that even in the colleges which are free from that particular disadvantage, much might be gained by the establishment of an athletic club-house. It is a good thing to have the men eat together, and better yet to have them live together. The practical working of the plan will be watched with much interest.
