I annex the Constitution of the original club, which I know from practical experience works well:

CONSTITUTION.

I. Name.

The name of this society shall be the —— Literary Sketch Club.

II. Officers.

The officers of this club shall consist of a president, a secretary, an editor, and an associate editor.

The duties of president and secretary shall be such as usually pertain to such offices.

The editor shall have entire control of a paper to be issued by the club.

The duties of the associate editor shall be to assist the editor in the work of publishing the paper, and to take control of the paper in case of the illness or absence of the editor.

The election of officers shall take place at the first meeting held each season, their term of office to expire upon the next election day.

III. Meetings.

The regular meetings of the —— Literary Sketch Club shall be held once in every two weeks.
