In spite of the evident risk of repetition we wish to emphasize what seem to be features essential to a successful University Club. As its object is to produce greater unity of feeling and action, it must be made attractive to all men in College, no matter what their circumstances. Hence it must combine two qualities-powerful attractions, and very low dues. The building must supply some conveniences which even wealthy members of other clubs will find a use for, and the charge must be too light to deter any man from joining.

This means that a very large sum will be required. And just here lies the real key to future success or failure. If enough money be raised, it is difficult to see why a general club should not prove as successful here as Houston Hall at Pennsylvania now actually is.

The above is, then, a short statement of the plan to be discussed tonight. It is hardly necessary to point out that numbers will count. Every additional man who is present will help to make the action of the meeting, whether favorable or not, at least decisive. To attend tonight will be genuine service to the University.
