The Club is ruled by a board of Managers headed by the President, George A. Brownell '19; the Vice-President, Cornelius C. Felton '16; the Secretary, Frank S. Streeter '40; and the Treasurer, S. Whitney Satterlee '30. They will be replaced at the Annual meeting on January 18 by a new slate; Felton will move into the presidency; Philip B. Kunhardt '23 will be Vice-President; Frederick Holdsworth, Jr., '40 will be Secretary; and Saterlee will remain as Treasurer.

'Secret and Confidential'

However, the Admissions board of the club is entirely independent of this ruling group. It is made up of 21 men, no more than two of whom are from any one class, and meets at least ten times a year. Section eight of by-law ten provides that "The procedings of the Committee shall be secret and confidential." A majority vote is necessary for election, but only two votes are needed to reject a candidate. A quorum is seven members. In addition to the qualifications for membership, a candidate must be proposed by a Club member, and seconded by another. He must also be known to three members of the Admissions Committee, two of whom must be present when his name is considered.

Despite these rather stringent conditions, only a negligible number of applicants are rejected.

Once a man is elected, he can expect to pay between $20 and $85 per year, depending on how long he has been out of College, and whether or not he is a resident member. In addition he must pay an initation fee of $25 if he has been out of College for ten or fewer years, and $50 if for more than ten years. None of this covers either meals or hotel roms.

Athletic Undergraduates

Undergraduates may use the Club's athletic facilities between nine and twelve in the morning during Christmas and Easter vacations if they carry letters of introduction from Club members.

Besides all the obvious material attractions the Club offers, many who go there think it offers something else which makes it more attractive than other clubs. One old grad put it this way: "To the graduate visiting the Harvard Club of New York City for the first time there comes the feeling that, merely by stepping through a doorway on West 44th Street, he has somehow been suddenly transported far from the noise and pressure of the city into an atmosphere which he had grown to think could scarcely be suggested outside of Cambridge... To the individual member, young or old, the Club has brought so many personal satisfactions--most notably perhaps, an environment so redolent of the spirit of Harvard that old friendships and associations are renewed easily and naturally.
