Dramatic Club Plans and Elections

At a meeting of the Dramatic Club held on Thursday a constitution was adopted, which sets forth the object of the club, as follows: "to promote the best interests of the drama in this country, especially in Harvard University, by the presentation of plays; especially original plays by undergraduates or graduates of the University."
