...yesterday contained copies of several songs written to be sung at this game, and most of us thought those songs were to be learned and sung at the practice. Copies were distributed to the men, but absolutely no effort was made to start singing.

Thanks to the State authorities and the liberality of several individuals this expense has now been reduced to a very reasonable living cost, and whether the camp is a success or not, now rests entirely with the undergraduates. For our part we feel confident that many more than the requisite number will be glad of the chance to put themselves on an equal...
