    this—1 . To establish local home-reading circles , for systematic readingwherever two or more

    students can be broug , ht into association . 2 . To provide for such circles carefully selected

    courses of reading , for simultaneous use , lanned so as to include the best books on the

    p subjects taken up year by year for study . 3 . By means of correspondencelecturesstudents '

    papers , printed memoranda , , and a , monthly journalto bring the members of these

    home-, reading circles under the direct personal guidance of men able and eminent in their several

    departments of teaching . 4 . To make provision for testing the work done by students and

    granting certificates of proficiency . 5 . To arrange for an annual summer gathering in one

    of the older university towns , or some place of resort , where members of the various circles

    may meet , to receive the certificates awarded , to feel the zest of associated workand to

    attend lectures by distinguished or , representative men on the subjects which have been

    studied during the year . By these means it is hoped that at the minimum of cost the
