The next business was the reading of the president's report. The main points of this report were recommendations that the club...

At Cornell, they have a large, well furnished, well heated room, containing several long tables covered with "exchanges" graciously donated by the Era. In fact, a place in which the men can read, smoke, talk, and enjoy themselves for the short loafing periods which necessarily come to every man during some portion of the day. It will be readily seen that the reading room of the library is no substitute for such a place...
