...opening the rooms of Phillips Brooks House for the benefit of clubs and committees the association is taking a step towards making the House more useful to the undergraduates. It is evident that Brooks House has not held the position in the life of the University which similar institutions have at other colleges, but the present officers are endeavoring to increase its sphere of usefulness...
...proposed Council of federated civic and public-speaking clubs is an organization which the CRIMSON can heartily recommend as a step towards the simplification of club engagements, and the creation of a forum for the open discussion of College questions.

...view of this situation, the present endeavor of the Speakers' Club to form a confederation of all College organizations interested in public speaking, appears to be a step in the right direction. Such an association should provide a common forum where undergraduates may discuss the problems constantly arising in University life. It would, moreover, establish a freer, larger, and more pleasant training field from which to draw the University debaters, and, best of all, it would accustom many men to speaking in public...
