...tried successfully by the football management a year ago, and there is no reason to doubt that it would meet equal success if tried by the management of the Glee Club. We do not see that the carrying out of this plan would cause the manager much trouble. but even if it did it ought not to be abandoned. The New York men are here in such great numbers that their claims cannot pass unregarded. We hope, therefore, that the Glee Club management will follow this suggestion.
