First. There has been a curious lack of energy or "headwork" among the managers in collecting subscriptions. There are many men-I know them personally-who have never been asked to subscribe.

The management of that concert was put into the hands of the Boat Club. The result was almost a complete failure. The fault in the matter seems to lie entirely at the door of the crew management. The concert appears to have been practically unadvertised, either publicly or privately. As a result the audience numbered not more than a hundred people. In addition to this there were no programs, and no ushers-until, indeed, some members...
