Cornell Organizes Aero Club

Cornell is following the lead of other Eastern universities in the formation of an Aero Club, consisting of all undergraduates who were qualified pilots in the air service of the Allies. The organization of the club follows closely upon that of Harvard, Yale, and Columbia, with whom Cornell hopes to join in some form of aviation league.

It is expected that about 150 men will join the club, with the aim of furthering the development of aviation. The object of the club it to promote interest in aviation by securing the co-operation of men connected with flying, and to secure capital to aid in the commercial and scientific development of the airplane and the dirigible balloon.
