HARRISBURG tfljftffr TELEGRAPH WAR ON SNOB PRINCETON CLUBS Move lo Abolish Groups and Substitute University Organization Princeton, N. J., Jan. 1. The agi tation against the club system now in 11 force at Princeton is grooving rapidly, i Alumni, faculty, upper and under . class men, are gradually falling in i) with the movement. .Nothing closely |:akin to this has ever been attempted before, but it is felt that with the . j proper impetus this action will suc iceed to some extent. It may be said '{■ that Princeton was the lirst to inaug- I ; urate eating clubs in America. The [ | birth of. the first club dates back to ;|1879, after a two-year lapse in which j no substitute has been devised for the , | fraternities, which had been done ' j away with in 1877. • | There is now a total of seventeen '| clubs, which have been permitted to : grow virtually unmolested, there being | only one concerted opposition to them . | since their institution. This was dur- I ing the last few years of Woodrow I Wilson's regime. Air. Wilson, then president of the university, wished to | alter the plan of operation of the I clubs, and do away with the system of y"inviting" new members. Some clubs ■ had a greater prestige than others and accordingly were more sought after | than others. Here, it is said, lies one jof the evils the reformers would do 1 away with. .Mr. Wilson's plan was to | turn the clubs over to him and he would make of them what is termed ! the "quads" at Oxford and Cambridge universities. Nothing ever came of i this movement, however, and the | overthrow of the clubs had not been given any credence since then. Now the five men, Richard Cleve | land, Henry Strater, David Bruce, Jo seph Schmaly. and .Samuel Lloyd, Jr., the signers of the letter which appear i ed in yesterday morning's Princeton | ian, are seekine to crystalize sentiment |in causing the undermining of the clubs. Give Reasons For Movement In the statement which they gave out for publication appear in tabulated ! form the several reasons why they 1 are proceeding with the movement. | It Is said by them that at present the making of a prominent club is one of the prime thoughts In a man's life at college. This causes the forming of cliques and works toward the detri ment of class Mplrlt, and In order to remain In the good graces of unnec essary cliques forms of "boot licking" are resorted to. It Is to do away with all that- per tains to the degradation ot morals and the suppression of individuality, be ' sides overcoming the prevailing evils ;of the present system, that tho new { movement is being propelled. It Is i the present intention to nubsUtute a j university club, along the lines of a i metropolitan university club. In which all students of the university are to become members.

No agreement was reached, hut Mr. Daniels said he , would make known the department's ; decision at least on some ot t lie ques -1 cions involved early next week. | As to shells, it was said the manu ; facturers declared they could not sub mit prices to compete with the Had ! lields.

Slight reductions : proposed by American companies were j not satisfactory and it is understood | that Hadflelds will be given contracts | for a large part of the order, if not , lor all the shells of that type needed, i The Midvale and Bethlehem com panies offered to make reductions in their quotations on the thirty-two 16- : inch rifles for the battleships Mary | land.
