...changed from that ordinarily given by a university glee club. Each club is to offer three selections: one serious selection, reasonably classic in style; one light or humorous selection; and one college selection. The judgment of the competition is to be based on general musical qualities such as technique, tone, diction, etc., and although special selections and solos may be arranged to lend greater variety they will be little considered in the final award, as organization is desired rather than individual talent.

The choice of physical education as a general subject is fully justified by the various side lights thrown on it in the offering of both graduates and undergraduates. The editorial on educating students to realize the importance of regular exercise neglects Physiology 1 as a possible starting point for the combination with gymnasium and outdoor instruction to form a real department of Physical Education...
