...come now to the consideration of an oftrecurring question, Does the Glee Club, as an exponent of music at college, sing the songs that its friends outside like best to hear? Even granting that the kind of music the Club now attempts is not too difficult, ought it not to confine itself exclusively to real college songs, - songs that breathe in every note the spirit of our life at Harvard, with all its picturesque manners and quaint customs?

The Club "wish it distinctly understood that they will not undertake the expense, which must be defrayed by private subscription." In other words, Yale allows Kennedy to hunt up, organize, and train his old crew at his own expense, and in return permits him to have the talisman...
