The Professional School students, for whom no social affiliations exist, welcome the project; the undergraduates, who feel the effects of isolation, on the one hand, and cliqueishness on the other, desire its fulfillment; the athletic men look to it as a means towards supplying the unity and a common meeting-place, now sadly lacking. The graduates, wherever heard from, have...
