...Club has now been in existence four years, and has at last found for itself a sphere of usefulness. The notice given in another column explains in detail the changes made in the plan of the club. It has always been our opinion that this club might become an instrument of good if it could find a definite method of advancing the interests of art. It labored under many disadvantages.

The excuse for their attack is found in certain tickets, recently issued by order of the President and not of the Faculty, which they appear to regard as mere tickets of admission, for everybody connected with the College...
