An appeal to graduate members of the Hasty Pudding Club to carefully consider before they contribute to the fund for the proposed building of the club was published in Monday's Advertiser; among others the names of Professors Dunbar, Palmer, Greenough, Gurney, A. S. Hill, and C. E. Norton appear among the signers. The paper sets forth that "to provide the club with a house of its own would be, in their judgment, likely to foster a mode of club life undesirable in itself, and inconsistent with the simple and pleasant traditions of the Hasty Pudding." Furthermore, the expenses of the club would thereby be so much increased as to preclude many from membership, and injury would result from "exaggerating the importance of purely club interests, and thus promoting the tendency, at all times strong among undergraduates, to subordinate the real interests and objects of their college life to social pleasures and trivial occupations."
