The Mass Meeting.

To the Editors of the Crimson:

The friends of the University Club plan could make no greater mistake than to give even the slightest semblance of wishing to rush the scheme through. Nothing can be more important, even if the project is finally carried out, than that intelligent criticism be welcomed and given its full weight. The object of the meeting in the Fogg Museum tomorrow night, is not to carry any scheme through on a wave of popular enthusiasm. Mass meetings are often used for such purposes and it is doubtful whether in some cases they do not accomplish more harm than good.

But as distinguished from any particular plan which may be proposed, the cause which has called forth the University Club scheme, is one into which every Harvard man should enter with whole-hearted enthusiasm. This plan merits attention because it is an honest attempt to meet certain well-defined needs of our university life. Whether or not it is the best solution of the problem, the problem itself is one to which we should devote ourselves seriously.

Unquestionably then, it is the duty of every student who can possibly be present, to attend the meeting tomorrow night. And to that he can fairly be urged without a suggestion of partisanship.
