THE VARSITY CLUB.

The establishment of the Varsity Club on a new and more beneficial basis is a move in the right direction. Athletics as well as other pursuits are better carried on in a large and individualistic community such as ours where there is the greatest solidarity of organization, and the new club house should be of great advantage to the teams which will have their headquarters there. The club will further serve in bringing about a closer relation between the undergraduate members of the teams and the graduates who were athletes in their day. Heretofore, the teams have existed as teams only on Soldiers Field and at the training table, but with the club house in operation, a home will be provided for the teams to use when they care to and where graduates can meet them on a basis other than that of Soldiers Field. The success with which similar organizations have been established at other universities augurs well for the benefits to be derived from the new club.
