November 6. 16
On November 4 the Chinese Students' Club gave a social entertainment at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lan Hing in East Oakland, in which there were fifty of sixty present, that is counting the students of the University of California and other schools.
Besides dancing and parlor games, we had on our programe trombone solo, mandolin and vocal solo, Chinese flute solo and a fifteen-minute Vaudeville sketch. The success of the gathering has accomplished the very object which the club desired; namely, to afford ample opportunity for fostering closer contact and more comradeship among the students of the two universities and other institutions.
Yours Respectfully J.D. Bush Secretary

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

in cash, with the exception of Mr. N.C. Chu who expended about $5.00 for the purpose of going on a short lecturing tour around the Bay Regions in respect to the Chinese-Japanese crisis.
Motion seconded and carried that an assessments of $1.00 be made from each member for the social entertainment that is to be held on Saturday, November 4.
Then the meeting was adjourned.
Yours Respectfully J.D. Bush Secretary
