...found for funds at the disposal of the University for such purposes, is to devote them to the central club, on the principle of concentrating the energy in a single improvement which will benefit every one instead of a few. We do not wish, however, to attack any plans taken up by the religious societies. Their work pursues a high purpose, and lends a peculiar dignity to undergraduate life by its sincerity and lack of ostentation. It is, then, not in disparagement of the Brooks Memorial, and those whom it is intended to benefit, that we suggested the change...

At various gatherings of students a strong sentiment of dissatisfaction with present social conditions and eagerness for some practicable reform has been apparent. The most practicable plan yet presented is that of a University Club.

Platner of the Harvard Divinity School, is to take up the Bible as literature-first the old testament, then if time, the new; considering in outline questions of origin, authorship, structure, etc. The work will consist chiefly of informal lectures by Professor Platner, with references to the best literature for those who can afford time for more detailed study.

The class has done good work...
