...addition it attains a recognized standing in the theatrical world by choosing its productions altogether from plays unknown on this side of the Atlantic. Some may criticize the club for proceeding along these untried lines; still there is a certain newness and charm in these plays which quite outweighs the audience's lack of familiarity.

Training tables, which are necessary to several teams, meetings addressed by prominent graduates, and a central gathering place for all minor letter men would achieve that end. Nothing arouses more interest in athletics than an opportunity to get together and "talk shop." Not least in importance would be the spread of a feeling that every man must keep...
