...morrow the Glee and Banjo clubs leave Cambridge for their western trip. It was only by the most persistent efforts that the faculty finally gave their consent to the trip, and even then with some misgivings. We feel certain that the confidence reposed in the members of the clubs will not in any way be abused, and that the organization which will represent Harvard during the holidays will reflect credit upon the college. The trip of the Glee Club will do much to bind those graduates, who live too far away to be present at any of our athletic contests...
...given for the first time in Sanders Theatre. The enthusiasm with which "Estudantina" was received was fully merited, it being rendered with great vigor and precision. The "Cannibalee." a new song by M. A. Taylor, leader of the Glee Club, and which was given for the first time last evening, met with an enthusiastic reception.

Were our efforts confined to improving our most powerful universities, we might well hope to rival the German universities. Even New England has found it profitable to diminish her small number of educational institutions. In the last decade the number of her colleges has decreased by three; New York has lost two. In the Southern States, twenty-three colleges have died out, while the number of students has increased eleven hundred...
...freshmen will give the question an open. fair discussion, for there are reasons why a race, as well as a base-ball and a foot-ball contest between the freshmen of the two colleges, is desirable. We are convinced, however, that when the question is looked at fairly, and even favorably, for a race with Yale, the objections are too weighty to admit of the contest. We therefore strongly urge the freshmen to decline the challenge...
