By the efforts of Professor Norton, to whom the club owes a large debt of gratitude, it has been put on a basis where there is a chance for it to do something. The success of their new effort rests largely with the undergraduates not members of the club. If a sufficient number of them become subscribers in the manner proposed, they will unquestionably advance their own interests and raise the club...
