IT is a matter open to some doubt, we think, whether a number of students, authorized by none but themselves, have a right to travel through the country and give public performances under the name of the "Harvard Minstrel Troupe" or any like title. If there are any who are anxious for such professional distinction, and feel that their individual talents justify their organizing companies, well and good; they have a perfect right to do so as private persons, or as a band of Harvard students, though we should think delicacy might prevent the use of the latter title. But they have no right whatever to prefix the word "Harvard" to their club, since by doing so they make it a representative body, - a thing that it emphatically is not. While we condemn such practices as vigorously as we know how, we do not wish to judge special cases so harshly. The "Harvard Arion Quartette," of last summer's fame, probably never thought in what a false light they were showing the College, and what injustice they were doing the Glee Club. It was stated in the New York papers, we believe, that the quartette "was composed of the best musical talent at Harvard," - a statement that we should not for a moment question, in spite of the fact that this talent had never (strangely) been recognized here.
