The general apathy and ignorance Of
the average college man in politics after
he has left college led several prominent
citizens OF New York TO form a civics
club, which was TO be the first of a series
i'm the greater part OF the eastern colleges
They have succeeded in organizing civcs
clubs In Wesleyan. Yale. Harvard Prince
ton, Columbia, New York university and
Brown. These clubs are related to each
other only I'm that they have the same
source. The primary object OF the club
at Brown is 10 study practical politics
and arouse an interest in politics among
college men.
In pursuance OF this idea meetings
will be held at various times during the
year, at which the best speakers obtain
able will address the club only. Be
sides the meetings for club members a
series Of meetings has been planned which
are 10 be held in Sayles hall.
The membership OF the club is limited.
and only those who show genuine interest
in the study OF modern politics are elect
ed TO membership. The full number of

there are IA seniors and 10 juniors in the
club At meeting i'm February the 10
other juniors will be elected and in the
following May 10 men will be elected from
the sophomore class.

land. To quote Professor Bailey:
"The statuette brings before us the
rugged but manly form of Tell himself,
the patriotic citizen capable OF any sacri-

artistic touch I'm the very slope upon
which the lgurc stands. seeming 10 indi-
