The announcement that the Harvard Club of Boston is planning to erect a permanent clubhouse furnishes conclusive proof of the wisdom of its founders and of the strength of the spirit of cooperation that has recently animated the graduates in the vicinity.

The new building should be of service both to its members and to the interests of the University. To young graduates, perhaps unable to afford membership in other social organizations, it will be a pleasant and inexpensive meeting-place and headquarters. Through it, older men will be better able to keep in touch with the University life, and will use it to entertain classmates and friends. To non-resident graduates it should be of inestimable value as a home on visits to Boston and Cambridge. Finally, with a well-appointed building and the inevitably stronger organization that must result, and with its pre-eminently favorable situation, the Harvard Club of Boston should be enabled to take a leading part in the affairs of the Associated Harvard Clubs, which have responded so nobly and generously in the past to the needs of the University, and have done so much to unite and co-ordinate the interests of all Harvard men.
