When we cease to rely on - tradition and capitalize on youth and 1 energy, a decided change will be - wrought." More specific changes along the same i lines were recommended by Julian H. . Bradsher in his iconoclastic inaugural ad dress, lie suggested "the conversion of - the society into a legislative assembly in which pieces of legislation of all i kinds can be discussed and subsequently r acted upon." This would make the Clari. osophic Society similar in nature to the t Euphradian, which has adopted the name t "Junior Senate." To put some of the suggestions into immediate practice a special meeting of ? the Clariosophic Society has been called for Monday night. It is understood that amendments to the constitution, or per, haps an entirely new instrument, will be proposed at this time. ^ Other drastic changes were proposed > by Bradsher in his inaugural. u. a. o.
