...only to promote the true interests of the University, and to provide against the evils which have arisen from close corporations, that the present step has been taken. Until both sides, however, have been fully heard, it would be hardly fair to pass a judgment; but as the case stands now, we are confident that the Harvard Club has the sympathy of a majority of the graduates, and we wish success to the undertaking...
