...enable her to do so; not the slightest means of improvement consistent with the restrictions of the faculty should be omitted. We have little fear on this score, but a word of warning is never out of place.

A unique feature will be introduced, which will create great mirth if nothing more, in the shape of a quartette of the poorest singers in college, it being a physical impossibility for any one of them to carry a tune. The Ivy Club gives...
