Shortly after6 o'clock all of the members sat down to an excellent dinner which was servedin a dining room reserved for the club, and for two hours there was nothingto do but talk over old college days and to eat, with an epicurean's delight,the many dishes which come with a Newman table d^hote.After the dinner this preliminary meeting was adjourned to BrunoniaHall, Brown University, where the more serious work of listening to andacting on reports and of determining new policies was attended to.
