Early in the fall a great amount of discussion took place as to the merits of the plan proposed several years ago for a University Club. There was a very general expression of opinion by individual undergraduates and by club resolutions, and in every instance the plan received strong support. In fact it was a very difficult matter to discover any opposition. Since then there has been ample time to give the matter careful thought, and the men now in College should certainly be prepared to express decided views.
The graduate committee, which has been in charge of the affair for some time, has heretofore refrained from activity for two chief reasons. One was "hard times," which discouraged any attempt to raise the large sum required. The other reason was that the committee has not felt at all sure that the club is generally desired by the undergraduates. The first cause is at least partially removed. Now it is in order to remove the second stumbling block once for all that the call is made for a mass meeting.
As a favorable sentiment does exist, it is of the highest importance that active measures be taken to express it to the graduates. Their attitude practically says "If you, the college, want it, we will see what we can do to get it for you." The proposition calls for an emphatic reply and the opportunity for this reply will come next Tuesday night.
