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.

Daniels Asks Steel Men
to Cut Prices For U. S. Navy
•
Washington, Jan. 11. Secretary
Daniels conferred yesterday with rep
' resentatlves of the Bethlehem. MiUvale
and Crucible steel companies in an
other effort to secure reductions from
; them in prices of supplies for the
Navy, including shells of the armor
• piercing type, 16-lnch rifles and build
■ ing material for ships. 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. Limited, the Kngiish concern
| which recently offered to supply big
| gun projectiles to the Navy at more
! than S2OO per shell below the lowest
i American bidder. 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. West Virginia, California and
: Colorado. The proposals were taken
j under consideration.
