Professor Winter suggested that the meetings be made of vital interest to more than mere members, that they be made to attract the public as well as members of the University. This might perhaps be accomplished by the program being varied as much as possible, by having not only travel talks, recitations, illustrated lectures, but music and occasional talks of a humorous nature.

To the uninitiated the various changes in recent years seem to be steps backward, in as far as they tend to reduce the number of men who take part in public debates.
