It would hardly be possible for Harvard students as a body to express their opinion more emphatically than they did at yesterday's mass meeting. One part at least, of the University Club question seems settled. The students are convinced that they want it, and they have urgently appealed to the graduates to help them get it.

Seldom has so large a meeting been held in Cambridge for a similar purpose. The Fogg Lecture Room was packed to the doors, and so many were unable to enter that it is to be regretted that Sanders Theatre could not be used as the place of meeting. The resolutions offered were carried unanimously and wholly without opposition, though discussion was invited. Moreover the manner in which the speeches were received, indicated that the conclusions reached were not the result of a passing wave of enthusiasm, but rather of careful consideration. Deliberate judgment has been greatly aided by the fact that the matter has been so long before the college public, and has been so widely discussed during the past four months.

The committee to be appointed may therefore feel that they represent an unusually widespread movement, and that their trust is one whose importance can hardly be exaggerated. They will be expected to act vigorously and to keep the project moving until something comes of it. It is a tremendous undertaking to raise the fund which will be necessary, but patience and persistence can obtain most things, and, among others, even a University Club.
