It is the function of the Harvard Glee Club, as indeed of all glee clubs, to give the colleges and the public the opportunity to hear and consequently to appreciate classic choral music. The ideal is a high one, and no wide program of education such as this was ever carried out in a day. But with the few interruptions by the believers in the "good old days," and by bellicose undergraduates who want to beat Yale in the Intercollegiate Glee Club Contest, the ideal is becoming reality...

...Edouard Manet exhibited in the Salon a little oil a foot wide and less than two feet high. Nobody thought much of Manet.
