...assumption made by some of the speakers at the meeting of the Tariff Reform Association on Friday evening. It is asserted that the meeting could in no way be spoken of as representing the thought and feeling of the University as a whole, and in order to show the strength of the Republican element in the University it is proposed that a Republican club be organized. A call for a meeting of Republicans, now being circulated among the Law School men, has already found seventy signatures, and a large number of the Republicans of the Law School have...

The meetings have been called within an hour of each other, in the same evening and in the same place, for the convenience of those...
...from the year. 1832. The first president of the society was George Ticknor Curtis and Francis Bowen its first secretary. The question first proposed for debate was "Are our republican institutions destined to be permanent?" The slavery and tariff questions were frequently brought before the Union and the records show that the society was then in favor of protection. As early as this the system of elective studies was advocated by the majority of the members. James Russel Lowell, Edward Everett Hale and E. Rock wood Hoar are names to be found in the long list of officers...
