...find it a breach of etiquette that the dissatisfaction within the Yale group concerning these arrangements was voiced neither to me nor to my management in the weeks preceding the concert. Second, the most inflammatory quotation appearing in your article, our manager's statement: "We would rather sing alone than sing with the Radcliffe Choral Society," must not be taken out of context. It is to be applied to the football concert only and is nothing more than a translation of the idea that the Harvard Glee Club should appear at least once during the year as the Harvard Glee...
...Sesame Street [Nov. 23] is a spectacular spectrum of meaningful motivation. Where else can you sing along with Pete Seeger, find a goodly measure of mirth with the Muppets, and learn in spite of oneself?

Fenno Heath, president of the Yale Glee Club, said that after this issue was settled, the Harvard Glee Club conductor then refused to let them sing "Fair Harvard" at the end of the concert. Instead of both clubs singing both alma maters, Harvard vacated the stage leaving Yale to sing alone. In protest, the Yale men and women sang their alma mater arm-in-arm. The Harvard club then returned to stage and mimicked the Yale club, with an all-male version of the same stunt...
