AT the risk of uselessly protracting a futile discussion, we wish to say a few words more about the "Arion Quartette." The facts on the other side have been produced in the Advocate, and it seems well that we should produce ours. The Quartette in question stated, on their earlier programmes, that they were the "best musical talent" of Harvard College, and called themselves the "Harvard Arion Quartette." These were the facts on which we wrote our last editorial about the Quartette. What we did not state, and what we did not then know, was that they afterwards changed their name to "The Arion Quartette of Harvard College." These facts seem to justify all that we said in the last Crimson, though we freely and willingly acknowledge that, had we known of the "Arion's" change of title, by which they confessed to a mistake in the beginning, we should not have found it necessary to criticise them so severely.
