...club, but differs from ordinary clubs in maintaining a 'literary' or 'intellectual' character." The entrance-money is one pound, and the terminal subscription (there are three terms in the year) either one pound or twenty-two shillings, which must, at Oxford, be paid to the Society's Bankers. The report of the Cambridge Union states that during the three years from October, 1871, to the end of the Easter term, 1874. 985 members were admitted, so that, as there were 195 members on the "Electoral roll" of the University, there were 1,180 members resident in the Easter term...

Let men be told after having passed their examination, or even summon them and then report conditions; but to mention casually to a man writing for dear life with a long paper, a limited time, and an aching and possibly slightly muddled head, that "you were conditioned in - ," results, in nine cases out of ten, in upsetting him and spoiling his work.
