What's included
Membership Manager
You will have a dedicated membership manager who will tailor your individual experience around your evolving needs.
We run over 20 events a month on a range of topics related to scale, sale and beyond.
We personally connect you with members, trusted partners, and recommendations to help you make more timely and informed decisions.
You will have access to our Insights Hub, featuring content edited from over 2,500 peer learning events with thousands of entrepreneurs.
Inspiring Founders and CEOs to build better businesses, together.
Since 2003, we have enabled thousands of founders and CEOs realise their growth ambitions by:
- Bringing the right members together at the right time to support each other in their journeys by sharing the hard-learned lessons along the way.
- Help members find the knowledge and connections they need to make better decisions and spend their time more wisely.
- Supporting them at all stages of the entrepreneur lifecycle, from scale to sale and beyond.
The Supper Club is highly valued for the quality and diversity of its membership, event experiences and pro-active personal support.
Our ethos:
- The Club is about 'Give and Get': we ask members to support each other by openly sharing their experiences and learnings, as that then helps each other grow
- The emphasis is on peer-to-peer learning, which is focused on saving business owners time and money
- We aim to provide an enjoyable and inspiring way to save time and money, source useful business contacts and to discover breakthroughs
- Although overt selling is frowned upon, it is not uncommon for our members to uncover business opportunities with their fellow members and we do curate groups where they sell to similar clients to help support their business development
- Chatham House Rule applies to all round table events
What else do we do?
We chair personalised monthly Forum groups that meet ten times a year. Think of it as your extended board, helping you work ON the business rather than IN the business.
Special Interest Groups
We curate events around members with specific interests to support each other, share experiences and establish a network of relevant friends and contacts.
Profile Building
We identify and offer opportunities to enhance your profile, both within the membership and more widely.
Select Opportunities & Offers
We regularly present fantastic opportunities and offers which are exclusive to our members.
1 of 3
The direct and indirect connections that are made by the Club are valuable to us, and have made a significant impact on our financial performance. For example, one introduction resulted in £2m being added to our top line revenues, and there is potential for it to grow much further.
2 of 3
In Forum we bounce ideas off each other and discuss issues we face – getting honest and objective feedback. It is a chance to call on the experience that others have built up and to contribute in turn. The level of added value in Forum membership is excellent and I have recommended it to other members
3 of 3
I love coming to dinners and discussing tactics with like-minded entrepreneurs. We can all learn so much from each other and The Supper Club do it in such a relaxed and informal atmosphere.
Membership Criteria
High Growth
- 20% sustained growth rate
- Annual turnover of £1m+ with 10+ staff
- Raised on valuation of £5m+ with 10+ staff
- For agency style businesses, an annual sales or commission of £3m+ with 20+ staff
Founders and CEOs Only
"No matter the industry our founders and CEO's have shared experience and knowledge of starting and scaling businesses.
I went to a lot of networking events before launching The Supper Club and eventually realised, they were all the same...loads of people in a room and, personality aside, they all wanted to sell – to get your card and sell you a service. What appealed to me was to cut all of that out and get a group of people in a room whose agenda was not to sell, but to share experiences."
Duncan Cheatle, Founder
Select Businesses
In order to maintain our high standards at the club we have restrictions on which businesses we accept.
No professional services
We exclude consultants, accountants, lawyers, professional investors, life coaches and sole traders to curate an environment of learning, rather than selling
Cross sector
We maintain a balance across sectors and B2B/B2C. At times, you may be asked to join the waiting list until a space becomes available
How to apply
Apply or nominate
Think you would be a good fit for the Club or know someone that would?
Chemistry call
We organise an initial call with one of our membership team to explore whether the Club could be a fit both ways based on our ethos of 'Give & Get'.
Deep dive
We meet all potential new members, to understand your journey so far and hear your future plans, to help you get the most out of the Club and so we know how you may be able to support other members.
Welcome to the Club
Introduction to your dedicated membership manager, a fellow member and book you onto your first event.

I love coming to dinners and discussing tactics with like-minded entrepreneurs. We can all learn so much from each other and The Supper Club do it in such a relaxed and informal atmosphere.
2 of 3
I don't get many chances to meet successful female entrepreneurs, so it was a delight to be able to do so in such a relaxed and friendly environment. The Supper Club's lunches are a great opportunity to share experiences with talented, forward-thinking individuals who are looking to make a genuine difference within their industry. The practical advice I've received from other Supper Club members will have a genuine impact on the growth of my business.
3 of 3
They say a problem shared is often a problem solved. The Supper Club is the sum of many valuable things but the most important to me is the sharing of information – issues faced, opportunities presented, with a peer group of business founders and entrepreneurs in a completely open, trusting and fun environment. It was a revelation for me and a revolution for my business.

Kids appreciate stories Jesus told about swallowing camels and such
The late, great Christian comedian Jerry Clower once told the story about the time he and his cousin, Marcel Ledbetter, joined the Navy and took a train ride to Camp Perry, Virginia, for boot camp.
A vendor came down the aisle selling bananas, which neither of them had ever seen nor heard of before. Marcel eagerly peeled the banana and bit into it just as the train went into one of those long, dark tunnels through the Appalachian Mountain.
Marcel spit out the banana and yelled over at Jerry in a panicked tone: "You ate your banana yet?"
"Naw," Jerry responded.
"Well, don't," Marcel said. "I took one bite of mine and went stone blind."
Jerry Clower knew how to unwind a yarn. He was an incredible storyteller. But at his very best, he paled in comparison to Jesus, the master storyteller whose parables speak truth more than 2,000 years after He first spoke them.
Jesus used clever illustrations to get across important truths. People who have been in church for years may take that for granted. But go into a Sunday school class with little children who are unfamiliar His stories and watch their wide-eyed responses.
You'll hear lots of giggles when you tell, as Jesus did, about a man who had a log in his eye while he complained about a speck of dust in another fellow's eye, or about people who can swallow a camel but strain at a gnat, or about the person who hid a lamp under a basket, or about the difficulty of a camel going through the eye of a needle.
Jesus' parables, which are stories containing deeper meanings, were altogether engaging. Huge crowds gathered around Him to hear these stories, and, of course, to see Him perform great miracles, like healing the sick, making the blind see and the deaf hear, allowing the paralyzed to walk, and even raising the dead.
In his days as a Christian comedian, Jerry Clower made people happy with his stories. But, more importantly, he pointed people to Jesus who holds the key to true joy.
Any of us who would like to bring joy into our little corner of the world might follow Jerry Clower's example. His fun-loving approach to storytelling was accompanied by a much more important message of a Savior who loves us so much that He shed his blood on the cross at Calvary so that we might be cleansed of our sins.
Like Jerry Clower's cousin, we might think we're blind if we all of sudden plunge into a dark tunnel. But we'd be truly blind if we didn't see the great love Jesus has shown us through His willingness to come down to earth from heaven, to teach us important truths, and to die on the cross so we wouldn't have to.

Hello Wizards!
Earlier we ventured into Pegasus Place while waiting for our next tournament matches to begin. Headmistress Crisp asked us to help the head Gardener Verne to help get rid of all of the goblins on the street. We eventually found where they were coming from and used a incantation to get rid of the portal. We meet up with Mrs Dowager again and she says before we begin our next duel in the tourney, she wants us to give the others in the dorm rulebooks.
They all thank us for giving them the rulebook except Randolph. He thinks we do not need rules, I wonder why? ;) When we return to Mrs. Dowager, she tells us to go to the Dueling hall and knock on the Spiral Cup Trophey as its a tradition for all of the contestants. Once we are in the hall, we see that the trophey is no longer there. We ask Benedict what happened and he comes to the conclusion someone has stolen it. We return to Mrs. Dowager and she is very shocked about the news, but says we need to continue with the tournament and the trophey will show up when it needs to. Our next Duel will be against Kisai Shugenja who hails from Mooshu!
While we were dueling Kisai, Benedict was looking near the Trophey pedastel and has found evidence of who may have taken the trophey. After winning, return to Benedict and he has us bring the evidence to Mrs. Dowager. She has us bring it to Headmistress Crisp. Before opening the pouch, Belladonna asks us to return to the dorms and retrieve our Ravenwood Ring that we placed in the drawer when we first arrived.
When we arrive to the dorms, we check the drawer we left our ring in and its gone! We return to Headmistress Crisp and she shows us what was in the pouch... Our Ravenwood ring! How is that possible? We didn't steal the Spiral Cup? Someone must be framing us! Belladonna wants more evidence, she doesn't believe that we are the culprits. But before we can go digging for more, we have another duel scheduled!
We return to Belladonna after winning our match against Beatrice and she says if we want to prove our innocence, we need evidence! She asks us to check back near the Trophey stand to see if Benedict missed any other clues. We find some vines near the stand and she thinks the culprit tracked those in. We bring the vines to Verne in Pegasus Way to see if he knows where they are from and he has no idea but tells us to visit Chester Droors the Earth professor. He thinks its from Tanglewood Way near the Market Street.
Since Tanglewood Way is blocked off and guarded by guards, we bring the bad news back to Belladonna. She informs us that our next match with Nalia Dunestrider is soon and to return after to keep searching for the trophey. When we reach the Tournament Hall, Benedict tells us that Nalia hasn't shown up for the match and if she doesn't come soon, it will be a forfeit on her end. We decide to go check out the Dorms to see if she is there and it looks like she lost her wand!
Her and Randolph snuck into Tanglewood Way because her home world of Mirage has little to no plants and wanted to check them out. When they arrived their, it was full of creepy over grown tree men who were walking around the street. Her and Randolph got spooked and ran back to Pigswick and she must have dropped her wand on the way back. Lets go ask the guards if we can go into Tanglewood way to look for it!
Lieutenant Roger warns us that 2 students earlier barely escaped and no one is allowed in. We explain to him about the wand situation and he tells us to talk to his assistant, Sergeant Harvey. Harvey says he didn't see a wand on the way back, but tells us that there is a crack in the wall that we can go through to check ourselves! We search the street and find Nalia's wand! Bring it back to her and meet her at the Tournament Hall for our match!
After winning the match against Nalia, return to Belladonna and she tells us we should go investigate tanglewood way until our next match. We show Harvey the vines we found while we searched for Nalia's wand and it matches up to the ones we found near the Trophey stand. He tells us to defeat some of the green men to learn more.
The evidence we gather after defeating some is that it matches! Why would they steal the Spiral Cup? We return to Gardener Verne in Pegasus Place to fill him in on the news and he lets us know that Chester Droors knows all about the green men, and was the one who ordered Tanglewood Way to be shut down. Hmmm.... Lets go pay him a visit!
Wow! Someone is controlling Chester! Lord Bramble who resides in a tower at the end of Tanglewood Way seems to be the culprit. The one who framed us, and stole the trophey! Lets end this all right now and get it back for the tournament and Wysteria!
Whew! After defeating Lord Bramble, take the Spiral Cup, and make sure to bring that voodoo doll back to Chester so he can get his soul back. Fill in Belladonna that you have recovered the Spiral Cup, and what has happened on Tanglewood Way and she hurries us along to our final duel against Wysteria's own Randolph Spellshine! Ravenwood vs Wysteria, who will take the cup?!
Woot! We won the Spiral Cup for Ravenwood! Say your goodbyes to your friends at Wysteria and return to Headmaster Ambrose in Wizard City to fill him in on the good news! But alas, no time for relaxing, more adventuring! That brings us to our next topic! Which world would you like my Ice Wizard to explore next? Should we explore Mooshu and chase after Malistaire? Return to Grizzleheim and help out the King? Or Check out the mysteries of Aquila as requested by Cyrus Drake? Vote in the Poll tab at the top of the site!

Bill Hillmann's Healthcare Odyssey
Bill Hillmann, a long-time international runner of the Running of the Bulls, recently wrote an article in the online magazine VICE giving us an account of his "healthcare odyssey" on three continents after being gored in San Fermin 2017. His adventure begins on the cobblestones of Pamplona, Navarra where he is gored by a Jose Escolar bravo bull and rushed to the Navarra Hospital for a short stay and intervention on his buttock. Bill continued on his trip to Panama where his wife is currently working as a volunteer, which is where the complications began and Bill had no choice but to seek treatment through the Panamanian health system, leaving him dumbfounded, frustrated and seriously considering returning to the United States to get a proper diagnosis and cure for his injury. Bill tells us about his experience in all three of the hospitals, and healthcare systems within the space of 6 months – his healthcare odyssey on the road to recovery.
The Backstage Story
Bill gives us insight on the possible implications of running with the bulls; that of being gored by a 500 kilo bravo bull. Running with the bulls on the San Fermin course is a daring feat and it goes to show that even the best of runners can get injured. Noone is 100% safe on the run and Bill Hillmann's article gives you the backstage story on what might just happen if you do.
Poisonous Spears
As Bill mentions the bull's horns are like "poisonous spears" given that these bulls spend their days grazing free in pastures rubbing their horns against their backside, stabing the ground of the corral and sharpening their horns on countryside trees. Getting gored is a far more complex health issue than one might believe it to be. Getting stitched up, receiving high doses of antibiotics and a lengthy recovery play a part in a gore wound.
Until Next Year
Bill is passionate about running with the bulls, San Fermin, the Navarrian people; their lifestyle and love for Fiesta. Bill, you are a trooper! Wishing you an excellent recovery and until next year in Heart of Pamplona.
Heart of Pamplona & Northern Spain Travel offer San Fermin experiences for those ready to get loose and want the ultimate out of the box SF experience.

Yesterday I made mini-burgers with black beans, we had some for dinner, and the rest went in the bento this morning. Other than that, my bento is very veggies-heavy. I was in a hurry this morning.
Here's my box:
So in the top tier, I have the mini-burgers, and strawberries cut up.
In the lower tier, I have veggies sticks, a little container of Guacamole (Number from TJ), and a little cup of steamed veggies.
The pictures I took of my husband's bento all turned out blurry! Darn it. He has the exact same thing minus the tomatoes, and with a little more steamed veggies.
You know what's funny? Every time I have strawberries on hand, I use my red box! I didn't mean to!
I will post to explain how I made the mini-burgers. They were delicious!
Happy Bento everyone!

You can look for me in crowds of strange faces,
their eyes aglow with the possibility of no attachments.
But you won't find me there.
You can search through the endless abundances of the same type of girl,
eager to please, morals hidden.
But you won't find me there.
You can peruse your way through every bar,
same people, different club,
everyone looking for temporary love.
But you won't find me there.
Look to the sky.
The stars.
The moon.
Let it all guide you.
That's where you'll find me.
Where things add up and matter.
Where there is a heart beating, bleeding, in plain sight.
A heart they spend eternities fleeing,
afraid of their own feeling.
If you're looking for me where everyone else resides,
you won't find me.
But if by a miracle you do,
please stay next to me.

Newcastle will have a clear out this summer with 12 youngsters being let go, and we'll also lose some first team squad players too.
Alan Pardew – committed to taking Tyneside club forward
The first team players who are likely to leave in the summer include Alan Smith, Peter Lovenkrands, Tamas Kadar, Fraser Forster, Nile Ranger and maybe even Danny Simpson and Dan Gosling.
But there will be new players coming in for both the development squad and the first team squad, and that will only strengthen the all around playing strength at the Newcastle club.
Newcastle will keep their Reserve team, as apparently there have been rumors they would end the second string team next season.
But Alan Pardew has said today the rumor is not true, and they will not go down the drastic path of doing away with the Reserves as Kevin Keegan did.
That was a terrible decision in retrospect and we lost local lad Micheal Carrick back in the 1990s, because as John Carver has pointed out recently – he didn't know where he would get a game.
Alan Pardew has been linked with both the England job and even the Spurs job this week, and he has been anxious to put down those rumors, since he doesn't want to unsettle the Newcastle squad:
"All this business hasn't helped, because I want to keep focused on what we're doing here." "I don't see me getting distracted by any other role at the minute."
"I love the passion here. I've enjoyed moving to the area." "I have a good relationship with the board. In the past, other managers haven't, and I haven't at other clubs."
"For whatever reason, it kind of works for us at the moment, and I'm hoping that continues." "I'm fully committed to taking this club forward, and hopefully we'll keep surprising people until the end of the year."
"And we'll have a good year next year."
We're not expecting to get anything out of the game tomorrow, with Newcastle fielding a weakened side at White Hart Lane, but it would be a terrific result if Newcastle can take anything at all out of this game.
So the lads have nothing to lose tomorrow.
Comments welcome.

The press aren't the only people who are aware that if 'Arry goes and takes the England job that the speculation is then on AP to take over there, Pardew is fully aware that he would be in line for the Spurs job yet he is still talking about being in the job for the next year, he is saying things like "our project here" he is speaking out about the great relationship he has with the fans, the board and that he simply loves being manager of this football club. Rest assured, London or not, CL football or not Luka Modric or not, Alan Pardew will be Newcastle United manager next season, and for a good few more to come.
Completely off topic i know,but all of this talk about a new cb and simmo being replaced cos hes garbage(which i dnt agree with) i dnt agree with a quality cb would be enough. Have we all forgotten how good Saylor is a rb very micah richards fast powerful good at defending and direct wen attackin. Wingers and fbs are afraid to get in his way. Hes a superior rb to.danny i reckon and i think a top quality cb and moving Saylor(i know hes a rock in cb, but replace with another rock is my point) and we could have one of tbe meanest defences out thete
Once upon a time there were two people who loved football. They were called Floppy Chops and The Mandarin. One day the wicked HMRC took them to court for fiddling taxes because Floppy Chops had opened a bank account in Monaco in his dog, Rosie's name. Now everyone knew that this was OK as dogs don't come under the scrutiny of HMRC and besides it was there to provide her and her offspring enough Pedigree Chum for life. Not long before the court case came to conclusion, the news was that FC , the England manager, had backed his captain, Tom Jerry, in an issue about racial abuse. FC probably thought that in England you are innocent until proved guilty (silly man!) but this provoked the FA to start talking about 'breach of contract' so they called a press conference on the day that the jury at `Floppy and Mandarins'
continued from 9)… verdict was delivered. To give a general feeling to the media and the peasants that there was someone in the FA who had the vaguest idea about football, they included Sir Bevor Trooking. He didn't say anything but we were all reassured. FC , it was announced, had resigned, with only a few months to go to the European Championships. So with the FA saying they want an English (or British manager, best to keep your options open there FA), the stage is set for Floppy Chops to be enlisted as England manager. Job done , as he is the peasants favorite. Even the Brothers Grimm could not have written a better fairy story than this. Only problem is, what if Floppy says no.

Priorities USA Action is the Super PAC that is supporting President Obama this year. We have always said here that Super PACs are awful, since they are a duplicitous way for political candidates to lower the political discourse while distancing themselves from being responsible for the message.
This week, Priorities USA Action is feeling the heat for the following ad, called "Understands."
You decide for yourself what you think. During a report by CNN that investigated the facts behind this ad, the individual in the ad, Joe Soptic, said the following: "That's the way that I feel. I mean, Mitt Romney, he's a very rich man. I mean, it's obvious if you watch him on television that he's completely out of touch with the average family, or you know, middle income people. I don't think he has any concept as to how when you close a big company like that how it affects families, the community. You know, it affects everyone."
Nonetheless, the ad is getting slammed from both sides of the aisle. CNN did an initial report about the facts behind the ad and interviewed Bill Burton of Priorities USA Action. The videos and full transcripts are here.
BLITZER: A new attack ad by a Super PAC backing President Obama basically blames Mitt Romney for a woman's death from cancer after his company, Bain Capital, shut down the steel mill where the woman's husband worked. Let's go to our White House correspondent, Brianna Keilar. She's watching the story for us.
Brianna, on the surface, it seems pretty outrageous to blame Mitt Romney for the death of this woman. That's a pretty outrageous claim, but what's going on here?
BRIANNA KEILAR, CNN WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT: It does when you dig deeper here, Wolf, because this ad makes it sound like this woman passed away shortly after Bain Capital closed down the steel plant where her husband worked. But in reality, she passed away five years after it closed.
And the former steel worker in this ad, I spoke to him on the phone today, and he said that during some of that time, his wife had insurance through her employer. So, Wolf, this is a heart-wrenching story, but it's not accurate.
KEILAR (voice-over): Joe Soptic (ph) worked at GST steel in Missouri for almost 30 years. He was laid of after Bain Capital acquired the plant, eventually closing it down. Now, Soptic is featured in a new ad by Priorities USA Action, the Super PAC supporting President Obama's re-election.
JOE SOPTIC, FORMER STEELWORKER & OBAMA SUPPORTER: When Mitt Romney and Bain closed the plant, I lost my healthcare. And my family lost their healthcare. And a short time after that, my wife became ill. And then, I took her up to the Jackson County Hospital and admitted her for pneumonia. That's when they found the cancer. And by then, it was stage 4. There was nothing they could do for her.
KEILAR: It's a heartbreaking story, but the ad does not tell all of it. In 1999, Mitt Romney leaves Bain for the Salt Lake Olympics, stopping day-to-day oversight of the company but remaining CEO. In 2001, Joe Soptic (ph) loses his job when Bain closes the plant. His wife still has insurance, though, from her employer, Savers Thrift Store (ph).
A year later, Romney formerly leaves Bain, and it's that year, 2002 or perhaps 2003, Soptic tells CNN that his wife leaves her job because of an injury. That's when he became uninsured without fallback insurance from her husband. A few years later, in 2006, she goes to the hospital, is diagnosed with cancer, and dies just days later.
Soptic, an Obama supporter, who has appeared in another ad back in May for the Obama campaign blames Romney for the loss of his job and his insurance.
SOPTIC: That's the way that I feel. I mean, Mitt Romney, he's a very rich man. I mean, it's obvious if you watch him on television that he's completely out of touch with the average family, or you know, middle income people. I don't think he has any concept as to how when you close a big company like that how it affects families, the community. You know, it affects everyone.
KEILAR: The Romney campaign is blasting the ad. A spokeswoman saying President Obama's allies continue to use discredited and dishonest attacks in a contemptible effort to conceal the administration's deplorable economic record. The Obama campaign and the White House are keeping their distance from the debate. White House press secretary, Jay Carney, said he has yet to see the ad.
JAY CARNEY, WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY: I'm simply saying that I have not seen this. So, how could I possibly assess it without –
KEILAR: Will you assess it later?
CARNEY: If you ask me tomorrow, sure.
KEILAR (on-camera): Now, Wolf, I followed up with Carney after the briefing, and he told me that he may look at the ad, but if I ask about it, quote, "my assessment will be, I have no assessment." This is kind of a case of a Super PAC being able to do the dirty work and the campaign and the candidate, and in this case, the White House trying to keep its hands clean, Wolf.
BLITZER: So, the White House at least now not touching this commercial. The Obama campaign, I take it, isn't saying anything about it either, is that right? What about the Super PAC, itself? What are they saying?
KEILAR: That's right. Everything is being referred to the Super PAC. I spoke with Bill Burton, a founder of Priorities USA Action. And I pressed him on this, are you drawing this link between Mitt Romney and this woman's death? And he said, no, we're not doing that. But Wolf, I think a lot of people who looked at that ad, certainly you, certainly I, did not walk away from it with that impression.
Bill Burton eventually appeared with CNN and defended the ad.
BLITZER: All right, Brianna, I want you to stand by, because Bill Burton is here. He's the co-founder of Priorities USA Action. You're responsible for this ad, is that right?
BILL BURTON, CO-FOUNDER, PRIORITIES USA ACTION: That's right.
BLITZER: You stand by it?
BURTON: Absolutely.
BLITZER: You make a serious allegation, in effect suggesting that the Republican presidential nominee, in effect, is responsible for the death of this woman.
BURTON: That is absolutely not true.
BLITZER: We've gone through the timeline, and clearly, he's not responsible.
BURTON: Absolutely not. You're absolutely right, he's not. And that's not what the ad suggests.
BOLDUAN: What is the message of the ad? Because that's clearly missed then, Bill.
BLITZER: Anybody watching that ad…
BURTON: Well, it's clearly missed by that fact check. There's no doubt. The point of this ad is that — it's to tell the story of one guy, Joe Soptic, and the impact on his life that happened for years, and to this day, as a result of decisions that Mitt Romney made.
This is — this is one of a series of ads in which we talk about the very long-lasting impacts that Mitt Romney's decision had on these communities, on these individuals and their families.
What that fact check did was it presupposes that, if Joe's wife had gotten sick right after he left that company, after he was fired from that company, then somehow Mitt Romney would be culpable. That if she hadn't had health insurance for a short time in that intervening period, somehow Mitt Romney would be culpable.
We're not saying Mitt Romney is culpable for that. What we're saying is that Joe Soptic was fired from his job, and as a result of that, he wasn't able to get — he wasn't able to hold onto health-care benefits that were promised to him. And as a result when his wife got sick, he didn't have health care.
BLITZER: His wife was diagnosed, I think, six years after Mitt Romney effectively left Bain Capital. He effectively left in 1999.
BURTON: Well, he was the CEO until 2002.
BLITZER: Yes, but in 1999, he went to run the Olympic games in Salt Lake, and he worked full time on that.
BURTON: When you're the CEO, you're responsible for the organization. BLITZER: Yes, but most people — in terms of day-to-day operations, he had no role.
BURTON: He was the CEO. He was the sole shareholder. He was responsible for the decisions that were made.
BLITZER: But he had already been gone from the day-to-day operations.
BURTON: Well, his name — he signed his name to…
BLITZER: But the bottom line, I want — I want Kate to move on. You're standing — you stand by this ad. You haven't placed it any place yet, have you?
BURTON: Well, we shipped it. So it's — it will show on TV soon.
BLITZER: How much are you spending to promote this ad, and where are you going to promote it?
BURTON: Well, it will be up in battleground states around the country. It's part of a $20 million project that we're using the tell the story…
BLITZER: What part of that 20 million?
BURTON: Well, you know, it depends. Every ad is a little bit different. Sometimes you think that you want to keep an ad on longer, and so you do.
BLITZER: Even though so many fact checkers says it's inaccurate, it's not responsible, it's misleading, you're still going to go ahead and play it?
BURTON: Well, Wolf, just like we just talked about, what we are — what this ad does is it tells a story of one guy and the impact Mitt Romney had.
BLITZER: But it's misleading in the tell.
BURTON: Well, this is your opinion. But none of…
BLITZER: Most independent fact checkers, and we're independent.
BURTON: No fact in that ad is wrong.
BLITZER: The impression that you get that he killed her.
BURTON: So you're saying — you're saying there's impression. You're saying that there's an impression.
BLITZER: Anybody that watches that 60-second ad comes away and says Mitt Romney is responsible, at least indirectly, for this lovely woman's death.
BURTON: I just don't think that's true, and we would never make that case.
BOLDUAN: That's the message you take away from it, Bill. Because whatever message was intended in this commercial is not what we hear.
BURTON: It's clearly — it's clearly lost on some folks, but make no mistake about that. But the truth is, what this ad is about is what Mitt Romney wants the campaign to be about. He says that his central…
BLITZER: Hold on a second, because I want to bring Brianna into this, because she did the fact check.
BLITZER: Brianna, you're still with us? Right?
KEILAR: I am.
BLITZER: Now, he's questioning your fact check. I want you to tell Bill Burton how you did this, how you came into this, and what your thoughts are based on. He's saying that they never wanted to suggest that Mitt Romney was indirectly responsible for the death of this woman.
BURTON: Look at what you're saying, Wolf. Of course — of course that's not what we're trying to say.
BLITZER: You're not?
KEILAR: If I may.
BLITZER: She did the fact check. She worked hard on it.
BURTON: Fact check your questions.
BOLDUAN: Bill, let Brianna have a say.
BLITZER: Listen to Brianna.
KEILAR: If I — if I may, because we were the only ones who were able to speak to Joe Soptic, who obviously is the voice in the ad, and it was Joe who in the ad — well, yes, as of yesterday, we had spoken to him in the afternoon. And it was Joe who says in the ad that his family lost his health — lost health insurance when he was laid off from Bain.
But it was Joe himself that told me that his wife did have primary health insurance, that she was secondarily covered through the health insurance at GFT Steel.
So it just seemed like there was very much an incomplete picture in this ad, painted by Joe Soptic's word, put out there by the super PAC, and that when you put it out to a reasonable person, they took away the conclusion that Mitt Romney was tied to her death.
And I just think that if you were to have told the complete story, a person watching this might have drawn a different conclusion, and for that point, I think it is inaccurate.
BURTON: Well, I appreciate your opinion on how we could have made the ad, but Brianna, frankly, I talked to Joe today, as well. And we had a conversation about, you know, what he thought of the ad and how he thought it was playing. And his opinion is that…
KEILAR: He stands by it.
BURTON: He does stand by it. Because his opinion is that Mitt Romney is not culpable for his wife getting sick, but when she got sick, when their family needed health insurance, they didn't have it.
And if he was able to stay in his job, if he was able to keep health insurance that was promised to him by Mitt Romney, Mitt Romney and Bain Capital when he was there, even before this period that Wolf lets him off the hook for, 1997, they made a contract with the workers, said no matter what happened to the company, they would be able to keep their health insurance. He wasn't able to. They canceled their health insurance.
KEILAR: And also, she — she also — she remained insured after that. She hurt her rotator cuff. The insurance that she had was her primary insurance through Savers Thrift Store there in the Kansas City area. That is when she had to leave her job, and she lost that health insurance.
So there's also this element of if she hadn't been injured, she would have been able to keep the health insurance. I just think that there are a number of factors not mentioned in the ad.
BURTON: The point that — the point here that if she didn't — if for some reason she didn't have health insurance during that time to take care of her shoulder, that then Mitt Romney might be more culpable, that's not the point that we're making. And I just don't think that that's the right conclusion to draw.
BOLDUAN: Now I think — I want to jump in real quick.
KEILAR: I think she had — she had health insurance. I think maybe I missed your point. But she had health insurance at that point.
BURTON: Right. No, my point is that, even if she had not, that wouldn't make Mitt Romney any more culpable for her getting sick or what happened to her. Because that's not the point that we're trying to make. We're trying to say that, for thousands of people, when Mitt Romney came to down, they lost their jobs and their health insurance. The impact of that is still felt. That community where that plant was is still run-down.
BOLDUAN: Bill, I want to jump in real quick, because a big part of the story is how the campaign itself seems to be running away from this. I think we have…
BLITZER: The Obama campaign.
BOLDUAN: The Obama campaign, I apologize. They've been peppered with questions about this since the time that the ad has come out. Listen to what the reaction has been.
ROBERT GIBBS, OBAMA CAMPAIGN ADVISOR: This is an ad by an entity that's not controlled by the campaign. I certainly don't know the specifics of this man's case.
STEPHANIE CUTTER, OBAMA DEPUTY CAMPAIGN MANAGER: You do know that we don't have anything to do with Priorities USA, that by law, we're not allowed to coordinate with them, and by law we don't have anything to do with their ads. I don't know the facts of when Joe Soptic's wife got sick or when she died.
JEN PSAKI, OBAMA CAMPAIGN SPOKESWOMAN: We can't speak to the super PAC ads. We don't have anything to do with them. So I don't have anything further on that.
BOLDUAN: You know — you've worked at the White House. You know all of these folks very well. Are you — are they backing you up? I know you guys cannot coordinate or talk about…
BURTON: This is funny.
BOLDUAN: Let's be honest. If there's an inaccurate ad that could even be perceived as deceptive coming from a Republican- supporting super PAC, you guys would be lighting your hair on fire.
BURTON: The thing I — the reason I think this is so funny is you just showed three clips of folks who are affiliated with the president's campaign or are at the White House saying what is just basic fact, which is of course they had nothing to do with this ad. Of course we don't coordinate our message or strategy.
BLITZER: There's nothing wrong. They don't have to coordinate. But there's nothing wrong with them saying, yes, it's a factual ad or it's a distortion. They're just saying, "We don't know anything about it."
BURTON: Actually, they — they can't say whether or not they like or don't like an ad.
BLITZER: Yes, they can.
BURTON: They can't because — well, I mean…
BLITZER: When the Romney campaign — Bill, and you know this — when they put out a distortion or when a super PAC supporting Romney puts out a distortion, you're all over them, and you're raising serious questions.
The last hour, we had one of these pro-Romney — a Romney campaign ad on welfare reform which was a distortion. We pointed that out, as well.
BURTON: That was a distortion of fact. Absolutely.
BLITZER: One of the reasons that the American public loses confidence in politics and in presidential candidates is when — you don't have to do that. You don't have to distort. You can just get into a serious debate. There are serious issues. You guys disagree. The American public's interest…
BURTON: There are serious issues in this race.
BLITZER: Yes, there are.
BURTON: And one of them is Mitt Romney's business experience. He says that should be the central focus of why…
BLITZER: There's going to be ads… BURTON: What this ad does, and what our other ads do, we've got Dolores (ph). We've got Donny (ph) on our Web site, who talk about the impact that Mitt Romney had on their lives.
When people look at those ads, what they take away from it, isn't any of this stuff that you guys are talking about. It's that Mitt Romney thinks that his business experience ought to be, why he should be the president of the United States. But they see those ads and they say no, that guy should not be president of the United States, because the impact that he has on people's lives, the impact that he has on lives…
BOLDUAN: Let's hold on — let's hold — let's go to break.
BLITZER: Kate is holding on. Brianna, don't go away. We'll take a quick break. Bill Burton is here. He's nice enough to stick around, defend this controversial ad. We're going to continue this conversation right after this.
BLITZER: We're back here in THE SITUATION ROOM with Bill Burton. He's the co-founder of Priorities USA Action, the pro-Obama super PAC. We're going to continue our conversation on this rather controversial ad. But Brianna, our White House correspondent, she wants to make a point.
Go ahead, Brianna.
KEILAR: Well, I was just going to say, Wolf, I think it is interesting, because today we heard from the campaign that they're not familiar with the personal story of Joe Soptic, but we know there is this conference call, so there at least is some familiarity.
Joe Soptic appeared in a campaign ad back in May. And when I spoke to him yesterday, he told me that he was asked by the campaign to appear at events in battleground states.
And it seems like until now, with this super PAC ad running, the campaign has not run away from Joe Soptic's story. So it just makes me wonder how well the president is really served by this ad that's supposed to be helping him.
I'm here following him in Colorado. He was talking about women's issues today. The campaign, the White House was trying to make a case about a Romney ad on welfare that they say is very unfair, and a lot of fact checkers have agreed. And instead this is what we're talking about. So it just makes me wonder if it really does serve the president well and how widely it's actually going to air.
BLITZER: All right, Bill, go ahead.
BURTON: Well, I mean, what Brianna is suggesting is that there would be some sort of coordinated effort by which we would run an ad…
KEILAR: I am not. I am not suggesting a coordinated effort.
BLITZER: She's not suggesting coordination.
BURTON: No, no, no, no. Listen to my whole point. Listen to my whole point.
And that after we run an ad, maybe the president would go campaigning with Joe Soptic. And she's surprised that she hasn't seen him out on the trail today. That would never happen obviously.
We've got our own program. We're working very hard to make sure that the American people know the truth about Mitt Romney's business experience. The campaign is doing what the campaign is doing. And to suggest that we would be mixing those two, I think, is a distortion of what the campaign finance laws are and what would possibly even happen here. So…
BOLDUAN: One point I think Brianna makes — it's a very important, very good point here — is doesn't this — what this ad is effectively done, doesn't it do exactly what you don't want it to do, which is, No. 1, it's getting your — the campaign you support completely off message. The president was talking about women's issues today. And the campaign is being peppered about questions about an ad — about an ad that has been found to be deceptive, inaccurate. We can debate that in and of itself. But the fact that…
BURTON: We have.
BOLDUAN: We — I enjoy it. But it's getting him off message. And that's not what your intention is. Do you regret that at all?
BURTON: Well — no, I think what we have been able to do is extend this conversation about Mitt Romney's business experience, and what it's meant to the thousands of people whose lives that he had a profound impact on.
BLITZER: What about the hundreds of thousands who have jobs today because of the — the capital that he invested in Sport Authority and Staples and some other companies that are hugely, hugely successful.
BURTON: What's interesting is that you actually give him credit for more jobs than he himself would take.
BLITZER: Say 100,000.
BURTON: He has said all sorts of different numbers.
BLITZER: Those are pretty successful companies.
BURTON: There's no doubt that there are places where he was successful. There's a reason that he made so much money. But the point here is he says that it's his business experience why he ought to be president of the United States. Well, let's look at some of the decisions he made and when he forced companies into bankruptcy and made all that money…
BLITZER: Fair — it's a fair point, if you look — if you look at the failures and you look at the successes and you add up. The American people can say he's a good business man, he's not a good businessman. That is all fair.
But as I get back to the point, we're not going to belabor it longer, because we have already, when you do an ad that seems to leave the impression that he was at least indirectly responsible for a woman dying from cancer, that is so powerful, that is so tough, that goes beyond what you guys should be doing. I'm not saying you shouldn't argue and debate. That's the impression any reasonable person seeing that ad, you get that impression.
BURTON: In these thousands of stories, some of them are truly heart-breaking, and they're really sad. And that doesn't mean that they should necessarily be off limits. But he had a profound impact on found impact on people's lives. And if you go into those communities, you've got thousands of people who know the impact that he had in their lives, but he walked away.
BLITZER: You're standing by this ad? You're going to play this ad?
BOLDUAN: The ad is running in Iowa, Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia. It should start…
BLITZER: It will start.
BOLDUAN: It will start this week.
BLITZER: Bill Burton, it was good of you to come in and talk about it.
BURTON: Thanks for having me.
BLITZER: Thanks very much. And go Buffalo Bills. Bill Burton and I are both from Buffalo.
BOLDUAN: Now you're going to fight with me over my Colts. So it will start now.
BLITZER: Still ahead, the secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, cutting loose and engaging in some dance diplomacy. Stand by.
What is interesting to note that the Romney campaign's reaction to this ad is being slammed by several conservative outlets. For example, Red State said that the reaction to the ad used "with a mind numbingly bit of spin that may mark the day the Romney campaign died."
Here is what Erick Erickson of Red State wrote yesterday:
Priorities USA was damaging itself and Barack Obama over its mind numbingly insane ad painting Mitt Romney as a killer.
Then the Romney campaign decided to sabotage itself with a mind numbingly bit of spin that may mark the day the Romney campaign died.
Defending Romney and combating the ad, Romney spokesman Andrea Saul . . . let's go to the quotes
"To that point, if people had been in Massachusetts, under Governor Romney's health care plan, they would have had health care," Andrea Saul, Romney's campaign press secretary, said during an appearance on Fox News. "There are a lot of people losing their jobs and losing their health care in President [Barack] Obama's economy."
Conservatives have put aside their distrust of Romney on this issue in the name of beating Barack Obama. They thought he and his campaign team had gotten the message and the hints. Consider the scab picked, the wound opened, and the distrust trickling out again.
About the only thing more stupid in terms of building bridges with the right would be to say something nice about fetal stem cell research.
Start your watches for that one!
In the meantime, Ann Coulter seems to be off the Romney train as well. See this one.
"Her response was not that it was despicable, not that Bain… that Romney had left Bain five years earlier or the woman died five years after the plant closed and didn't even get her insurance from her husband, her response was, 'Well, if she had lived in Massachusetts with Mitt Romney's health care plan, she would have had health insurance.'
Anyone who donates to Mitt Romney, and I mean the big donors, ought to say if Andrea Saul isn't fired and off the campaign tomorrow, they are not giving another dime, because it is not worth fighting for this man if this is the kind of spokesman he has… There's no point in you doing your show, there's no point in going to the convention and pushing for this man if he's employing morons like this. This ad is the turning point and she has nearly snatched victory from the jaws of defeat! She should be off the campaign."

Black feathers and lightweight fabric add lots of interest to these Halloween bat decorations. They make a fun addition to wreaths and other displays. We like to hang these lightweight Halloween bats from the ceiling for a spectacularly spooky look.
The dimensional 1.25 inch thick bat body is covered in fluffy feathers, similar to a feathered craft bird. Its semi-transparent wings are 3.75 x 8.5 inches and feature black skeletal accents and a white outline.

Inside a whale sits
Jonah, pondering
How many more rotting
Tuna he'll
Stack up in the corner
Before he dies of
Stench and despair.
Not a scale can he see
Only slime to the touch
As the creature heaves
Through the Deep,
Filtering fish through its
Radiator teeth.
Jonah dreams out
And up, into the light
And over this rut.
cards fall on the table,
Dry, clean in the sun,
Behind the horizon,
Life's line, noone
Can question
The silence beyond.
Always there.
Forever, back
Down fathoms and more
To our whale and
Trapped Jonah.
Never to see the sky
Split from the Land
And the sea
By the line.
There in the gut's leviathon walls his
Murmurs sift the
Gloom for gold
But none drops.
Patience and hope
And his jaws will part
And out he'll fight
Then float like a
Ripe apple, spongy after
The long winter store.

That skull there on
The pillow,
One two three we
Heave him up,
One two three we
Let him down, down,
Death bubbles in his
Fiddles the clockwork
In his heart.
A nappy smothers
Paper skin and knees hover, angling,
Buzzards above the
Wan skeleton, barely
Worth the fuss.
His eyes are lidded
And the curtain's shut
But for the odd crack
Of Pain and Cricket,
In they come, 'The family',
He mouths and seems to say,
As he lifts bone to
Palm, before the bridge
Breaks and his life flows
Off, prisoner no more,

A couple hours into our trip to
the convention for shirtless White trash with cringe-worthy tattoos, *Schlitterbahn, I was pretty sure we wouldn't want to write about it. The plan had been to leave the apartment by 9 a.m. to get there right when the park opened at 10 and avoid lines for the slides. It was now 1:45 p.m.,** we'd barely been in the park an hour, and we hadn't even set foot in the water yet. We entered the side of the park that had no slides or lazy rivers Caitlin felt comfortable on, dropped $10 on a locker and needed to take a bus to the other side of the park that would possibly offer us something we were looking for. At that point in the day, I had no idea our time was about to turn from bad to good to unforgettable. We just had to let the water decide.
*Zack could not get over how many terrible tattoos there were at Schlitterbahn. To be fair…there were a lot. Infinity symbol on a guy's back? Check. A collage of poorly drawn images including a gun and some flowers? Check. A lower-back tattoo on a lady that said "Mason"? You know it.
**We set the alarm for 9AM. We just rose very slowly from that point forward, packing and taking Scooby on multiple walks and generally getting ready.
I've been white water kayaking in some serious rapids, so even the wildest water slides don't intimidate me. I knew going into our trip that the fastest, steepest water slides would be off-limits for Caitlin, and I was happy to stick with her on less intimidating rides, but even that was proving difficult*. In that first hour, we wandered around and Caitlin didn't feel right about any of the slides or lazy rivers and also felt bad that she was holding me back**. I could have been far more understanding and sympathetic, but I was becoming more and more agitated that the whole day and expensive tickets would be going to waste. We hopped on the bus to the other park and found our happy place.
*When I envisioned the day, I really thought I was going to rock it. I'd been to a water park before where the lazy river just floated in a circle forever, and that's what I thought I was up against. When we got there and I realized I couldn't see a full ride all the way around, I froze. I don't do well with unexpected drop-offs – I have to have some idea of what I'm up against to feel comfortable.
**I really felt terrible. I could tell Zack was getting more and more impatient, and was trying to figure out a way to get him in the water while I took my time working up courage to do something, but he wasn't wanting to go on anything without me and his agitation made me feel even less safe and more like a frightened turtle trying to just ball up in my shell and hide away forever. I was kinda pathetic.
Before we found our special spot, we found ourselves underneath the slides. A constant stream of water was pouring out the sides and formed a waterfall. I ran under it, drenching myself and encouraged Caitlin to do the same. She was game*.
*I could tell Zack needed me to channel my 2010 self, the girl who danced with a gorilla and a banana on the side of the road post-ACL, right before I drove Zack home for the first time. I gestured for Zack to step back, and ran through the water that was pouring down.
Torrent River was just what the doctor ordered. It had waves, but no drops. It had tubes but we could stay together the whole time. And most importantly, Caitlin could see all of it before hand, so she knew what she was getting into. We loved it*. There's a waterfall on one end that drenches you if you lean into it, you're constantly moving at a fun pace and you can stay on as long as you want. An ideal combination of wave pool and lazy river. We went around 10 times.
*This was the exact ride I remembered from a previous water park experience, and I was so, so relieved to have found something both Zack and I could enjoy. I started to get a little braver after taking this river around for a while.
As great as Torrent River is, The Falls was easily our favorite. Billed as "the world's longest water park ride in the world" it's a 10-minute long epic journey that takes you up the "aquaveyer" ramp and propels you around 3600 feet of river. I wasn't sure Caitlin would be up for this*. We checked out the line and she decided to investigate more**. We followed the falls along a path for a few minutes, so she could see the spot where most people flip over, decided she could handle it and off we went. It was exactly what we envisioned when we'd pictured a lazy river. We wanted to ride it all day***.
*Neither was I.
**We asked a life guard if there were any significant drops on the ride, and he said, "No, not really…there's this one turn that's a pretty sharp and steep turn around to the right, and everyone seems to flip out of their tube right there for some reason, but I don't know why." Gulp.
***I cannot overstate to you all how much fun this damn ride is. It gives you a great adrenaline rush — I was grinning from ear to ear, laughing with strangers as we bumped into each other, sliding down little mini-slides and getting drenched in (very small and gentle) rapids. It was the best rush and I really could have just sat in it all day long.
Next, we made the mistake of trying to ride a water slide at peak hours. Wolfpack seemed like a nice option and the line didn't seem too long. I'm literally shaking my head as I type this and remember it. That sign that said 90 minutes from here had to be an exaggeration, right? I mean, we'd already been in the line for 30 minutes. Well, we probably should have believed the sign. It was two hours for a one minute ride, but it was worth it for Caitlin to overcome a fear of water slides and it was a solid one*.
*I joked with Zack that we should get "I survived the Wolfpack" shirts at the end, not because we survived the slide, but because we survived the hellish wait. I really do think hell is a waterpark slide line. It was terrible, hot, little children kept touching my butt for some reason (by accident, but still. Keep your hands to yourselves, ya pipsqueaks), and I needed a drink of water (ironically) so, so badly. But for me, it was 1,000% worth it to overcome my fear with Zack. I was so proud of myself and had a blast slip-sliding down with my man in our Wolfpack of two.
As we neared the end of our wait, we considered leaving after the slide, as it was coming up on 6:30 by that point and we had a lonely dog at home. But we found ourselves right next to the Torrent River and had to go for a couple laps around. Annnd as we walked back to collect our stuff, we happened to walk by the entrance to The Falls and found no line*. We had to take one last trip around. Oh, and then we ended the waterpark day the only way you can end a waterpark day. Ice cream of the
future past, Dippin Dots!
*I actually insisted that we at least check it out, and I was SO glad I did. We literally walked right up to the entrance, VIP style.
I'm thrilled that Caitlin overcame her fear of waterparks and was a trooper and we ended up having an awesome day and can't wait to go back next summer. Maybe even this summer, if we're lucky and win passes back! But yes, we're already thinking of doing an overnight out at the park because it was that much fun. We bonded, I pushed my own boundaries, and we have memories that I know are going to last me for the rest of my life. Just as I was promised all throughout my childhood, it really was the hottest, coolest time in Texas.

The National Milk Producers Federation last week supported Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy's veto of legislation to ban chocolate flavored milk in the state's school lunchrooms, calling the move "common sense."
NMPF President and CEO Jim Mulhern said removing chocolate milk in schools could have unintended consequences.
"It's encouraging to see reason and common sense returning to the debate over chocolate milk in schools. As a recent university study made clear, schools that remove chocolate milk from the cafeteria are simply throwing the nutritional baby out with the bathwater," he said.
According to Mulhern, a ban deprives kids of calcium, protein and other needed nutrients while increasing waste and boosting costs.
Related: Chocolate Milk Ban Could Bring Unintended Consequences
Mulhern's comments are backed by data released earlier this year from Cornell pilot study at 11 Oregon elementary schools. The study found that offering skim milk in place of chocolate flavored milk during school lunch decreased total milk sales by 10% and increased milk waste by 29%.
Students may even stop eating school meals because of the switch, the Cornell data indicated.
"Certainly, obesity is a serious problem among today's youth. But the answer isn't to ban chocolate milk," Mulhern said. "Connecticut is not required to pass this legislation to keep its federal school meals funding. Federal nutrition standards specifically allow schools to serve fat-free chocolate milk as part of reimbursable meals and in cafeteria a la carte lines.
"Governor Malloy is to be congratulated for thinking this through, and not opting for the quick, easy but wrong solution," Mulhern said.
According to the National Dairy Council, flavored milk contributes 3% of added sugars to kids' diets versus sodas and fruit drinks, which account for close to half of the added sugar and deliver "much less, if any nutritional value."

Jadavpur University JU is a premier public research university located in urban metropolitan city of Kolkata, West Bengal.
It has two campuses: the main campus at Jadavpur and the new campus at Salt Lake, approximately 12.6 kilometres (7.8 mi) and 8.8 kilometres (5.5 mi) from the city centre respectively. A third campus is due to open at the site of the erstwhile National Instruments (CSIR India), opposite the main campus along the Raja S.C. Mullick Road.
One of the three universities in modern India,set up by the British in Calcutta in 1861 as a means of spreading western philosophical thought among the elite in India and to create in the words of Lord Macaulcay, "a class of Indians who would be Indian in blood and colour but western in thought and ideas." This initiative was furthered by the passing of the Universities Act of 1904. This resulted in the reorganization of the Calcutta University's Senate and Syndicate by the nomination of more white members into them, which in turn would enable the government to control its policies. The government also decided to disaffiliate many private Indian colleges, which had come up lately and were regarded by the Government as hot beds of nationalist agitation. The measures stirred the educated middle class to move for alternative systems of education.
The nationalists in the freedom struggle of India dubbed the Calcutta University, another pillar of India's education movement, as "Goldighir Ghulamkhana", or the slave house of Goldighi, with reference to the lake adjacent to Calcutta University, and the number of graduates it churned out who were used in British merchant offices as clerks. Hence, the need for setting up an institution which would impart education along nationalist lines was strongly felt by the luminaries of the period. The real impetus though was provided by the partition of Bengal by Lord Curzon, the then Governor-General of India, into East Bengal on the one hand (the area that was eventually to become Bangladesh in 1971) and West Bengal and Odisha on the other. On 16 November 1905, the Landholders Society organized a meeting at Park Street, attended by around 1500 delegates, including Rabindranath Tagore, Aurobindo Ghosh, Raja Subodh Chandra Mullick and Brajendra Kishore Roychowdhury. The idea of the National Council of Education was mooted here. While in a meeting held on 9 November 1905 at the Field and Academic Club, Subodh Chandra Mullick pledged Rupees one lakh for the foundation of a National University in Bengal. The objective in setting up the institution that was to challenge the British rule over education by offering education to the masses 'on national lines and under national control'. Generous sums of money were also donated by Brojendra Kishore Roy Choudhury, Maharaja Suryya Kanto Acharya Choudhury and Rashbihari Ghosh, who was appointed the first president of the university.
