What is now needed to set the University Club project which has lain idle so long squarely on its feet is in the first place of course a show of decided interest on the part of the undergraduates which will assure contributors as to the tangibility of the plan and in the second place something to clinch this tangibility, a sum of money to give it a definite start. The $60,000 which has been subscribed for a Brooks Memorial is 25 per cent. of the sum needed to guarantee the building of this club and it seems only just...
...after all, these are really minor considerations. One of the greatest needs, not of a single interest, but of the whole University, is a large, comfortable club of the nature proposed. It is needed as a practical convenience. It is still more needed as a means of centralizing the life of the University.

It is even possible that some of them may row on the 'Varsity in the spring...
Harvard enjoyed a perfect record for a number of years, partly due, it must be admitted, to the fact that interest in debating was first aroused, and faculty instruction in that work first established here. Since then, however, interest has sprung up elsewhere, and other colleges have been transformed from weak to dangerous adversaries...
