TO THE EDITORS OF THE CRIMSON:-

THE article entitled "Music Among Us," in the last Advocate, calls out the following remarks: The ideas expressed about the Glee Club and the Pierian were true enough, but when the writer spoke about the Chapel choir, he said some things that were unjust and unfair.

All who hear the Chapel choir throughout the year know what it is. It speaks for itself. But for a long time our writers, when they have found themselves lacking in material and wit, have, as a last resort, pounced upon the Chapel choir and the musical societies in College.

All I can say is that it speaks well for the choir, which stands to-day the only exponent of refined musical taste in the College. The writer in the Advocate advises Professor Paine to petition the Faculty for a few hundred dollars to hire a decent quartette. Perhaps it would be well for the writer to get some of Professor Paine's ideas on the subject.

Finally, if those disliking the music at the Chapel are honestly seeking reform, let them know that a kind word of encouragement for those untiring and well-meaning efforts of the choir will be of more use in bringing about the desired result than all sarcastic revilings.
