EDITORS HARVARD HERALD: Complaints in regard to musical fiends are old; and all remedies heretofore proposed seem to have been inadequate. I have to propose a solution of the question, which it seems to me cannot but be satisfactory. Since every other means has failed, why cannot the college set apart one entry in one of the college buildings where rooms will be let to all possessing and playing upon musical instruments exclusively.

...fixed? The Athletic Association should not let itself be eclipsed in this matter by the Bicycle Club, nor should it permit the pleasure of the event to be worn away by long anticipation.

So much so, indeed, that the sophomore class considered it a matter of sufficient importance to call a class meeting Thursday afternoon, and endeavor to dissuade the freshmen from their project. The safer course would seem to be for succeeding freshman classes for some years to come to abandon all attempts at going to the theatre in a body until the tradition in the matter has entirely died...
