...hear? Even granting that the kind of music the Club now attempts is not too difficult, ought it not to confine itself exclusively to real college songs, - songs that breathe in every note the spirit of our life at Harvard, with all its picturesque manners and quaint customs? I think that we can all see the justice of this question. If our friends come to hear a college glee club sing, can we blame them if they prefer to hear such songs as "Nancy Lee," "Sally am de Gal for me," and "Jingle Bells," to "Two Roses," "Three Chafers...
...succeed perfectly. Our scholars are as thorough as any, and the result of their efforts could not fail to be a text that would serve as a standard to colleges and schools. It is true that in Germany and England men spend their lives in comparing manuscripts, and think they have accomplished no small task if they can find some trustworthy authority for changing the spelling of a single word in a book whose text is acknowledged the most accurate. We should have the advantage of compiling an edition from the many that already exist, added to which advantage would...
...hear them. We were almost inclined to be jealous at the good fortune of the people of Baltimore, until we saw that such a feeling would be unreasonable; we remembered that, until last week, no desire to hear Mr. Childs's lectures had been publicly expressed.

...delay in deciding the plans has obliged us to postpone the supplement to our next issue. Work will be begun on breaking the ground during vacation probably, and once under way will be pushed rapidly forward. Still, as the building cannot be very far advanced by Class Day, we-think that in thus picturing it, we are responding to a general desire, expressed by Seniors particularly; a desire to have an idea, before leaving Harvard for many years, perhaps, of the Gymnasium that will be that will be the best in the country...
...Music at Harvard that expresses a feeling quite common (as we are well aware) among us here, - that the Glee Club would do well to confine itself to singing college songs, and that it should not attempt anything so difficult as a real part-song, or glee. We think it is about time that a few words should be said in defence of the Glee Club, inasmuch as that body has lately been the subject of much unjust criticism, both in and out of print. We entirely dissent from opinions expressed by the author of "More Music at Harvard...
