Tonight the Glee Club-Pierian concert is to be given. We would again impress upon the college the necessity of supporting these two societies by a large attendance, and would again state that this attendance is a debt which the college owes to both clubs. We do not believe that there is another college in the land where it would be necessary to make such appeals in order to secure the clubs a good support. The fact that each year it seems to be necessary to urge the students to show at least a fairly patriotic spirit towards them does...
...Spirit of the Times in its report of the Harvard-University of Penn sylvania foot-ball game reflects very severely on the bad blood displayed by several of the piayers, to say nothing of the bad language used. If this report is to be credited we must impress upon Harvard the necessity of mending her manners before playing the championship games.

...studies pursued are the acquiring of a graceful step and ease of manner. The importance of these the capable and efficient instructors quickly impress upon one with a club and a choice vocabulary of oaths. No rhetoric is taught the pupils; indeed they are taught that "silence is golden" in every case, excepting when a delicate musical effect is to be produced. Then loud whispering and giggling is firmly insisted on, to heighten the impression. Applications for admission are received at the stage door of the theatre. The fee for instruction is merely nominal. The only requirement is to pass...
