T h e objects in forming the Lodge were three. First, to bring together (on the principle of " u n i o n is strength "jaU University Masons, now scattered through some hundred and seventy lodges throughout Victoria, and thus give them more influence in the-management of Masonic affairs than they possess a t present. Secondly, to form a L o d g e J n which University men who wished to become Masons could do EO among their own kith and kin instead of among strangers.
Thirdly, to form a meeting place for past a n d present Studente for aU time, and thus be the nearest approach to a University Club.

• FEES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS.
The total fees for intending members- who are not Masons are an initiation fee of five guineas and an annnal subscription of three guineas. For intending members who are Masons there is a joining fee of one guinea, and an annnal subscrip- tion of three guineas.
