...should have stated before now that the Historicl Society is not to blame for not giving its lectures in a larger hall so as to accommodate all who may wish to hear them.

A few years ago we did have a lecture on Civil Service Reform and the students turned out well to hear it. Now why can this not be followed up? There are surely enough men who would become interested to form a good Civil Service Reform Club; and their influence, especially those of the two upper classes, who are so soon to go out into the various parts of the country...
