Lecture Club Finances.

The Fiction Club, in handling the past season’s lecture course, took in $292.50 on season tickets and $59.95 at the door or a total of $352.45. Their expenses were, for the Graves lecture, $88.55; the Sherwood concert, $140.45; for Hillis lecture $123.26, and for promoting the course, $10; total $362.26. These figures would have left them about $lO “in the hole,” but rebates amounting to $25 were allowed on the one postponed date of the Sherwoods, and the two of Dr. Hillis, and this leaves the course with a balance of $15.19 on hand, which will be carried over to help out next season’s course. It should be explained that no salaries or emoluments of any kind are given to members of the Fiction Club for managing the course.
