Excerpt from The Functions of the Book Club: An Address by Henry H. Harper at the Rowfant Club, Cleveland, Ohio, Saturday Evening, December 19, 1908

This would necessitate the employment of proper editorial talent and exercising a general supervision of the work of preparing the copy, with introductory remarks, notes, etc. The editor, who may, or may not, be a member of the club, would be answerable only to the person having the work in charge.
