The membership fi gures may be incorrect, depending on what it actually means. This organization prints two magazines that are given free to any faculty or student that request them. One is, if I remember correctly, The Intercollegiate Review. I got that mailed to me for about 15 years. Some very interesting (and very vicious) material appears in it. (Several different species of consrvatism are represented in it.) Now they may count as "memers" eveeryone who has a sub to one or both of their (free) peridicals. In which case quite a few of those 'members' hardly count. I don't know whether they have any more formal membership.
