There is good news in store for the hundreds Of
college graduates who have aspirations in the direction
of the University Club but have had little hope OF
being able to reach that goal within the next decane
or so. 1t Is announced that new University Club
will be organized in few months. AS everybody
knows the pressure for membership In the University
Club has long been excessive. Two or three times
the MANAGEMENT has been compelled TO extend the
limit of membership but the pressure has continued
nevertheless and the rush of would be members was
never greater than at present though the limit OF
resident membership now stands at 900 ana the lmit
of nonresident membership at 700. Within the last
six months less than half dozen resident members
have been elected. and there are some 400 or 500
names on the waiting list. The same pressure to
lesser degree has been experienced by the club In
relation to its nonresident membership. The facilities
of the club and the limitations OF its clubhouse
preclude the feasibility of further extending the mem
bership limits And yet the scores and scores OF
colleges and universities steadily turning ont men
