Read excerpt -
It is to the young man just out of college, coming to New York to cast for fortune in the great whirlpool of life and activity, that these clubs appeal most. To him they are veritable homes. The "hall bedroom" and the stifling odor of a boarding house have no terrors for him. He knows that, however new and strange and difficult his work may be, however unfamiliar his surroundings, there is one place where he can always find a friend, one foothold from which he can swing into the new city life without experiencing the feeling of bewilderment and loneliness that brings discouragement and despair.
As the years go by, and as his acquaintance becomes larger, he may reach out into other fields of club life, differing as his tastes and occupation may direct; but his college club remains the dearest, for in it there center and affection and a sentiment that never seem to die. Whether it be "Fair Harvard," "Bright College Years," or "The Orange and the Black," that comes floating to his ears from the nightly gathering of graduates, it carries him back to the happiest days he ever knew.
