This arises from the mistaken conception that the purpose of the University is to teach men the useful and practical in life.

If this is so, it certainly can be expected of undergraduates to take the trouble to learn something about the matter while they are still in College. And how can this be done better than through a club, the object of which is to impress upon students the need of Civil Service Reform, and to extend their knowledge of the principles and methods by which this reform can be accomplished...
