November 3. 1916

The Club has been honored by the visit of Mr. W. Reginald Wheeler, Yale '11, who has lately returned on furlough from the Hangchow College. Among other things he said, "I want to make a strong plea to you men especially to return to China and engage in teaching. After all, you men trained in American colleges are still better fitted to do the educational work in China than us Americans." Mr. Wheeler in his talk also showed himself a staunch supporter of the Chinese Republic, a great admirer of Chinese literature and one who is especially interested in the social and political progress of China.

After this address Mr. Lee called the business meeting to order.

The first matter came up for consideration was the disposal of the publicity fund. It has been definitely ascertained from Miss L.L. Shen, the Chairman of the Publicity Committee in Berkeley, that Stanford Club members of 1915 agreed to subscribe towards the fund but did not make any actual payment
