Weight occupied the chair. Professor
Howland of the Y. M. c. A. was present
to bid for the afternoon of New Years
day for Y. M. C. A. races at the bicycle
track. The matter of a suitable button
for members of the association was also
discussed and committee will look into
the probable cost and decide upon a
plan whereby the association may be
made permanent. The idea is to make
all members of last years association
who paid the IS initiation fee members
for the years '96-' -'97-'9S without the pay
ment of an additional fee. Instead they
will be called upon simply to pay SO dues.
If any member is financially unable to
pay his dues he will not be dropped.
With this manner of procedure there will
be no dropping off, but constant in
crease in membership. AS the member
ship increases the amount of dues will
decrease. The initiation fee will remain
