...favorable deliberation. For instance, by forming a club of this kind with a large membership, a small assessment fee would be amply sufficient to provide many desirable features of club life, such as a good reading-room, a comfortable smoking room, and telephone and mailing facilities.

The average sense of the community pronounced without hesitation...
