L. Bonton "Nothing needed more in Oberlin, you have my support." D. G. Campbell "I am strong for it and will work for it's success." Dr. MornYon "A novo fc better Oberlin." Jos.

II. Young "Splendid movement" Dr. Wheeler "Nothing better could be thought of." E. S.Doan project that should have support." V. II.

Griffith "I am to: it." The general sentiment of these men is to do this thing in a business like manner, or in other words, to make it a success and get results. A man should be put in charge and bo always on the job to sen that it is run in a man nor becoming to such an organization. To have a Athletic Club we must have Moral and financial support. We have them all and now let's get on from here, get the student body behind it and we will have an Athletic Club for next year.
