When are we to have an opportunity to listen to the Freshman Glee Club? Last year, as '88's club was not started until late, it was not strange that they were unable to make a public appearance until the latter part of May. This year, however, practice was begun early, and the club has been fortunate in having a number of members who are on the university club. Under these circumstances, they should be by this time in good trim for singing. The college expects to hear from them soon after the recess, and the college must...
...last concert of the season attracted an unusually large audience to Sanders Theatre last evening to listen to the following programme: Brahms, Tragic Overture; Beethoven, Aria, (Ah Perfido); Gericke, three movements from a serenade for strings; St. Saens, Introduction and Rondo Capriccizo for violin; Gounod, Aria; Masenet, Aria; Beethoven, Allegretto and Allegro from seventh symphony.

Poets are quoted as examples, for more than all other men they give expression to the thought...
...Harvard man could listen save with sincere respect to any words that Dr. Hale might say concerning the college. Dr. Hale's sympathy and interest towards Harvard are fully understood and appreciated. And yet we believe that hardly a student read his letter in the last Advocate without a sharp feeling of disappointment at his apparent misunderstanding of our position on the prayer question. Dr. Hale ought to be careful how he makes mistakes. He stands too high in the regard of the college to risk them with safety...
