May 3rd, 1918.

The regular meeting was called to order by Chairman Mei at 8:20 P.M. The social committee, Mr. S.K. Wong, reported on the proposed picnic. Following, Mr. C.K. Chan reported on the athletics outlooks for the present quarter.

A motion was made and seconded that the club refund to Messrs. Wong and Mei $2.90 for carfare to Berkeley in behalf of club affairs.

The remainder of the evening was devoted to the discussion of the Japanese demands question. Chairman Mei appointed a committee composed of Mr. S.K. Wong (Chairman), Mr. G.L. Pun, and Mr. W.J. Chang, under the name of the "National Welfare Committee", whose duties are to survey the Japanese question carefully and devise methods to do our bit toward China. It was unanimously decided that the club would meet informally every Friday night at 8-9 P.M. for the duration of this quarter, to hear whatever report this committee has to offer and also to discuss national problems as well as to exchange knowledge. It was expressed and agreed by the members that the club should [cooperate?] with the "Saturday club" of Berkely in doing some publicity work among the Chinese population in America toward the Japanese question. The "National Welfare Committee" has full power to execute its [laws?] and access of the treasury also.

The meeting was adjourned at 9:40 P.M.

Respectfully,
William C. Meh
