...three hundred men would board at the Club next year, the dining-hall in Memorial would be used. Circulars will be issued, possibly distributed next week to the undergraduates and members of the schools. If the required number is made up before the end of the year, the necessary work will be immediately commenced, and it is hoped that the hall will be ready for the club at the beginning of the next academic year.
