The work of the club was very good, in spite of the fact that few rehearsals have been held since the date of the western trip...
...congratulate the Conference Francaise on the vigor and life it is showing in getting ready for the stage a short comedy by Jules Moineau. In doing this it is following the excellent and successful precedent of last year, when this formerly almost dormant society blossomed forth into one of the most active of literary societies at Harvard. The successful performance of last year gave a great boom to the society, and its immediate result was a large increase in the number of members, all taking a great interest in the welfare and progress of the society.
