FORM UNIVERSITY CLUB
College Men Arc Taking Great Intcrcat
in Movement to Locate Institu-
fiOn In Richmond.

Plans are being completed among the
local alumni of various institutions of
higher learning In Virginia and other
States to organize n University Club in
this city. Several meetings have al
ready been held by those interested,
and the movement has met with much
encouragement.
1t is not proposed to limit the mem
bership of the club To college or univcr-
Sity graduates The privilege of cleo
ton will probably be extended to all
who have had at least two years Of
collegiate training in the academic de-
partmcnts OF their respective institu-
tons or to those who arc graduates OF
professional schools
1t has been estimated, after q
thorough survey Of the field. that there
are about 1900 college men in tho city.
While all Of this number would not be
available as members OF the organiZa-
ton, it is believed that tho total would
furnish ut least 500 men eligible TO
election. 1t is probable that n mass
meeting will be held in the near future
to perfect plans for the organizations.
