...conspiracy which will try to make you believe that the world is governed by the idea of wealth for wealth's sake, and that all means which lead to the acquisition of that wealth are, if not laudable, at least expedient. Those of you who have fitly imbibed the spirit of our university--and it was not a materialistic university which trained a scholar to take both the Graven and the Ireland in England--will violently resent that thought, but you will live and eat and move and have your being in a world dominated by that thought.

Yesterday the Harvard Bulletin, which now represents so ably the true spirit of Harvard, gave more than a column to a proposal by Mr. F. A. Tupper '80 to organize a Harvard Club in Boston. Why such a club has never been formed before apparently no one is quite able to say. Last year the Class Secretaries' Association appointed a committee to look into the matter; but the committee either failed to report, or else never made clear its objections to the project...
