...attempt were made to equip grounds near the college this fall, we should find the club saddled with expenditures which would render heavy assessments necessary, and it seems far better to wait till spring before making any such attempt when the club will be more firmly established and possessed of more experience. As to the remarks made in your editorial on the inadvisability of shooting over the 800, 900 and 1000 yards ranges, it should be stated that no thoughts of such long-range practice have been entertained by any one in any way connected with the club...

As far as the college owing anything to the club is concerned, we think it the right of the college to expect the open-air concerts from the club. By giving such concerts, the club earns the right to expect...
