The Glee Club has had valuable assistance from Mr. Locke, and under Mr. Liscomb as leader has done most faithful work, singing with much spirit. There are but few prominent voices.

An admirable example of its progressive spirit was manifest in the question debated at the last meeting before the recess and now again their interest in college matters is clearly shown in the topic chosen for tonight. All members should not fail to attend, and students of the University who can find it convenient to come will...
