...Bright College years" needs just such an improvement. The melody and harmonies could not be improved upon, and the words are excellent in sentiment and in selection; but the words do not always fit the music as nicely as they should.

They danced far into this morning; yet their eyes will be sparkling with bright glee when the maid awakens them and they slip into silk for luncheon at the Princeton clubs. The ladies, not the players, dominate the day. Tiny rose faces, cheering madly, and yet not quite knowing Sweezy from Stevens. Cheer not overloud, mesdames, for one has much dancing yet to do. Tonight along the Street of Strange Sights (Broadway) the Crimson...
