...crowd that gathered to listen to the Glee Club last night was but one proof of the very general interest in the evening concerts. There need never be any fear of a small audience during the examination period, for the men busy one day are idle the next. It can not be expected that the Glee Club alone can gratify them all. Two, or at most three, times a week is all they can fairly be asked to sing. On some of the other evenings the students would be well pleased to profit by the kindness of the Banjo...
Today the University crew leaves for New London. The crew labors under the one great disadvantage that its training can not be followed by the mass of the students, whose interest in its progress and ultimate success must be in large part taken for granted. The men who row have not the stimulus of applause, or of frequent contests. Their work must be done alone, and is arduous in the extreme.

They feel that the Alumni Association will be a new source of strength and stability to the paper...
...have been made for the distribution of seats in Sanders Theatre for Decoration Day. The exercises of that day are being much more carefully planned this year than ever before. They are sure to be appropriate, and it needs no more to say that they will be full of interest and significance to Harvard men. Graduates and undergraduates alike will be eager to avail themselves of the opportunity which the committee offers to secure seats in advance. Those who trust to chance for finding a place unoccupied in in the theatre are likely to fare but poorly. The seats will...
