CIVIL SERVICE REFORM CLUB.

Three Interesting Speakers will Address Tonight's Re-organization Meeting.

Professor A. B. Hart, Mr. A. Lawrence Lowell and Mr. Richard H. Dana will deliver short addresses tonight at the opening of the annual business meeting of the Civil Service Reform Club, to be held in Sever 11 at 7.30 o'clock. Professor Hart will speak on the historical features of civil service reform in this country and on the present young man's interest in the work; Mr. Lowell, who has just returned from England after a year spent in the study of the English colonial system, will speak on the English methods and experiences; and Mr. Dana will tell about the actual machinery of the work in this country. All members of the University interested in the problems of good government are invited to attend, whether or not intending to join the club.

As planned last year, tonight's meeting of the club will partake of the nature of a complete reorganization, and a new constitution will be submitted. All members of the University are eligible for membership in the club and may enroll tonight upon payment of the initiation fee of one dollar. A fresh enrollment of old members will also be called for.

The club will restrict its work in the future to smoke-talks and public addresses, aiming, through the first, to educate its members in the subject of good government by introducing prominent reformers from the Faculty and the vicinity of Boston, and in the latter to encourage interest in the work among the members of the University at large by bringing to Cambridge men of national repute. Smoke-talks will be held once a month throughout the year.
