...they send forth a noble appeal for justice and their rights, in the shape of goodies. They apostrophize the "President, Treasurer, or Proctor of this institution," who may chance to read their "feeble attempt to describe the incompetency of the servants" who are forced upon them by the hard-hearted official in question; and they beg him to examine for himself the chambers of horrors which they so graphically describe.

While all this is being done in the interests of the Club, it still remains a hard fact worthy of the attention of the members, that nothing good can be accomplished without their hearty co-operation, both by regular attendance, and conscientious performance of duties assigned to them. There are now over thirty members, and as the limit is set at forty, all desirous of joining should instantly...
