That we will make the club a place where helpfulness and kindliness go hand in hand with inspiration.
That the Golden Rule is just as good a guide to club life as to home life.

I have seen many club mottoes and club platforms in my day and generation, but the following seems to me the best. It originated with the Lincoln (Neb.) club-women:
“Ours is an inclusive, departmental club. Since its object is to help and be helped, the following women are invited to become members:—
1. The university graduate.
2. The woman of common school education.
3. The self-educated woman.
4. The woman who belongs to other clubs.
