THE PLACE OF THE VARSITY CLUB.

In the opening of the new Varsity Club building this evening Harvard men should see far more significance than the provision of an adequate place for the members of our athletic teams to meet one another and attend training table. The dedication of this building to the memory of Francis Hardon Burr, of the class of 1909, has assured the perpetuation of a memory which all who knew Captain Burr even remotely now hold dear. Just as Burr was not alone an athlete, but a leader of men: in athletics, in scholarship, and best of all, in character, so the Varsity Club should not stand alone for athletic supremacy but rather for leadership in those qualities which to the true athlete are more highly prized than victory itself.
