The CRIMSON endorses the communication published in another column in regard to the Harvard Civil Service Reform Club. This organization, which was founded in 1894, had its origin as a result of the influence of the late Mr. George William Curtis, and was favored by Professor Norton, Theodore Roosevelt '80, Mr. Carl Schurz, and others. Although it attracted a good deal of attention at first, there has not been a very general interest in its affairs this year. There are, however, reasons why such a club should have a good backing in this University: not only are many of the leaders in the National Civil Service Reform movement Harvard men, but we are repeatedly told that the graduates of the great universities must take a more intelligent interest in the political conditions that are facing the country. If this is so, it certainly can be expected of undergraduates to take the trouble to learn something about the matter while they are still in College. And how can this be done better than through a club, the object of which is to impress upon students the need of Civil Service Reform, and to extend their knowledge of the principles and methods by which this reform can be accomplished?
