What was the primary topic of the initial Fall 1905 meeting?

• A. The nature of the newly proposed organization
• B. The schedule of next meetings
• C. Athletic events
• D. Fundraising

Answer: (C)

The main idea being tested is why an early group would choose shared activities as the first focus. In the Fall 1905 meeting, organizing athletic events served as a practical, hands-on way to bring people together, demonstrate that the group could coordinate and run activities, and generate campus interest and momentum. This tangible focus helps build camaraderie and a visible sense of purpose right away, which lays the groundwork for later steps like defining the organization’s nature, scheduling meetings, or fundraising. The other topics matter, but they’re a natural follow-up after the group has shown it can plan and run events and attract participation.
