...itself for not singing. An item in yesterday morning's CRIMSON states that ".several parties of ladies and gentlemen waited in the yard in the rain for half an hour or more for the Glee Club to sing."

It used to be a well established custom among our undergraduates to saunter down to the boat-house, and lounge away the long spring afternoons with a book and a pipe, watching the arrival and departure of the crews, and good naturedly criticising their merits and defects.
