The weekly meeting on Wednesday evenings affords an opportunity for coming into touch with the spirit and membership of the union. After the adjournment of the meeting a college man may, without the formality of an introduction, become acquainted with thoughtful, earnest mechanics who are quite likely to be diamonds in the rough. Saturday evening is a good time to drop into the Social Room, where...
