At University
Smoker.

The annual Yale Harvard smoker
was held at the Young Hotel last even
ing. Thirty-six men were present and
enjoyed very pleasant evening. Gov
ernor Carter was in the chair, and
after the first few informal moments
he arose to announce that ''the curfew

marks over the Yale football victory,
he called for report OF the committee
appointed last year to look into the
subject of University Club, and Fred
Church thereupon read the following
report:
Mr.. Chairman and Members of the
Yaie-Harvard Club.
Gentlemen: At the last meeting OF
the club in November. 1908. after a
general discussion as to the advisa-
bility Of starting a University Club IN
Honolulu, the Chairman. Geo. r. Car
ter, appointed a committee of three,
consisting of Judge A. S. HartweIl,
Walter F. Dillingham; and Frederic J..
Church to look into the matter and re-
port at the annual meeting in 1904
Complying with these Instructions
your committee begs to report as fol-
lows:
We unanimously favor the project
and advise the appointment of COM
mittee to draw up by-laws similar I'm
general, TO those of the various
University Clubs on the mainland, said
committee to obtain a list of eligible
members who are desirous of joining
and then call a meeting of said APP
plicants, After a careful consideration
we feel that at present it would not
be wise to attempt to obtain build
ing of our own. owing to the. great ex-
pense that the proper fitting Of the
same would entail but suggest that
quarters be obtained, If possible, in the
Young Hotel, where we would have
comfortable Iounging, reading and card
rooms, with the benefit of the hotel
grill and buffet. We tried to obtain
a figure on the floor of the hotel Inn
mediately below the dining room, but
in this were unsuccessful, as Manager
Lake said that he must first confer
with Alexander Young, who at present
is not In the Territory. He suggested,
however, that arrangements could
be made whereby we obtain
ed quarters in another portion of the
building and used the Young Hotel
grill, which has been closed for some
time. as our lunch or dining room.
Owing to the comparatively small
number of University Graduates In
Honolulu and vicinity, your committee
Favors admitting aa members of tie
University Club any man of repute
who has at any time been a student at
a .-t~.f
or at one of the medical, law, scieE-
life or other schools.
Being unable to unanimously agree
rs to the amount of initiation fee, we
suggest that this matter be left to
popular vote of the Harvard
Club. providing of course that our otL-
n suggestions be acted upon.
We interviewed the Hawaiian Hotel
N the same project, bue could not do
with them as the bond hold
.rs, who have taken charge OF the
,otel, do not as yet know what their
Ultimate decision concerning the prop-
rty will be. We feel that it is out of
he ques ion to obtain quarters for the
.lub until same is at least in a state
f semi and therefore, an
bove, suggest that a committee be ap-
'ointed to begin the work OF starting
he University Club. From the en-
husiasm which prospective members
ave expressed when the subject has
'een broached to them. we feel that
aid committee will meet with most
ratifying success.
Respectfully submitted,
