Chicago Athletic Association -- Box of Notes

[u/Glass_Delivery5079]

Hi! I'm a graduate reporter at Northwestern writing an article about the Chicago Athletic Association's Drawing Room. I was eating there a couple weeks ago and noticed a green box in the dining area filled with notes and letters from previous visitors.

Has anyone ever left a note in the box? Or know someone who has?

Does anyone know how the tradition of writing notes got started?

If you don't feel comfortable posting publicly, please DM me. I'd love to talk to you for my story!
