UNIVERSITY CLUB PROJECT.

A General Subscription Will Not be Started at Present.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The committee on the University Club project met yesterday afternoon at the office of Charles Francis Adams '88, in Boston. Henry E. Warner '82, as chairman of the sub-committee appointed at the last meeting to make inquiries as to a suitable site for the proposed club house, presented a report on the size and approximate cost of several sites. After considerable discussion it was decided that, in view of the present financial depression, it would be wise to wait a few months before attempting to raise the necessary two hundred thousand dollars by a general subscription. In the meantime it is possible that some benefactor will be found who may wish to contribute the whole sum, and thus immortalize his name. This has been the fortunate experience of the University of Pennsylvania, which has been recently given an expensive club house.

As it was decided that nothing further could be done at present, the committee will, in all probability, not meet again till next autumn.
