...away from the audience on Tuesday. As to the concert not begin advertised, I happen to know that circulars were sent to all the houses on the Back Bay and notices published in all the daily papers, etc. The night was rainy and disagreeable; most people who wanted to hear the Glee Club sing had already heard them, and the rest were out of town.

Anyone who went to Sever 11 last evening in the faith that he was to hear President Eliot speak, must have come away not only disappointed but skeptical as to the motives which inspired your editorial of yesterday. I should like to state that although the writer was undoubtedly suffering under a painful hallucination, this did not extend to all his statements.
