...permanent selection of men for the Freshman Glee Club was made about a week ago, and since that time the improvement made by the club in singing has been apparent. The number of men at present on the club is thirty-two. Heretofore the freshman glee clubs have contained not more than twenty-seven voices, but this year, owing to the closeness of the competition, it was thought best to try the experiment of going beyond the usual limit. If it is found later on that the club would do better with fewer men, probably about five voices will...

There is at present a very bitter rivalry between the University Glee Club and the Apollo Club at Yale. The latter club was organized early last fall by A. E. Jenks, '89, who is one of the leading literary men in college. The efforts of the club have met with great success and now the musical honors of the college are divided between the two clubs. The members of the university club have remonstrated with the manager of the Apollo Club, but he cannot be persuaded to disband his organization. On Monday the university club held a meeting and voted...
