WOULD ADVANCE COLLEGE men
and College Men of Kenosha
to be Asked to Take Part in Organi-
cation of a Social Nature-Co Commit
tee to Work Out Details of Plan.

There is movement for the organiza-
tion of a university club in Kenosha
and within a short time some formal
step will be made to get all the uni
versity men in the city together with
view of completing the organization.
An informal meeting of number OF
the university graduates was held on
Thursday evening at the Elks' club
rooms and the matter was generally dis
cussed and while the meeting was en-
tirely informal, it was decided to send
out call for public meeting later
in the year. Promoters of the new or
ganization are convinced that there are
more than 300 men in Kenosha who
would be eligible to membership in
University Club 1t is thought that
nearly every great college and univer-
sity in the country Las one or more of
/ it's graduates in Kenosha and it is be-
| lieved that a union of these men into
social organization would prove a
benefit to the city and also a source
of great personal pleasure to the men
themselves. 1t is not planned to limit
membership in the new club to actual
graduates of universities, but to all men
who have had one or more years train
ing in these schools.
In order that the movement may take
the proper form, it was suggested that
committee composed of Judge Cliff
ford E. Randall, P. d. Carman, E. S.
Jordan, Frank II. Lyman, Prof N. A..
Rowe, the Rev. Peter Stair and Chester
Barnes be named to take up this mat
ter in more formal manner and can
vass the city to learn just how many
university men there were in the city
who would have part in the proposed
noting the organization have no elab-
crate plans for club houses with expen-
sive fittings, but they plan an organiza-
tion of the college men with view Of
having them together in one of the
halls of the city several times during
the year at which time speakers from
one of the universities will be invited
to address them They plan to have
the organization stand for something
in the promotion of higher education
among the young men of the city. The
question Of admission of university
women to the club was discussed, but
this is problem that must be left open
for the consideration of the association
after it is formally organized.
