During the latter part of the spring term a project was set on foot looking towards the compiling and publishing of a Harvard song book. When first started the suggestion was received with universal favor and a committee was appointed with full power to undertake and carry out the work. The committee immediately met and considered plans. Invitations were sent out requesting original contributions of either verses or music from members of the university. It was found, however, that there would not be sufficient time before the close of the term for the committee to perfect its plans and finish its work; accordingly the undertaking was postponed, with the understanding, however, that it would be taken up again this fall. As yet the college has heard nothing of it. It certainly would seem to be high time for the committee to meet again and take active steps for the consummation of the project. As to the urgent need for a representative Harvard song book there can be no question. And it is certainly to be hoped that there is enough enterprise and talent in the university to produce a volume that shall be worthy of the college. It is true that with the departure of '82, Harvard lost some of her most talented writers of verses, besides two of her ablest song composers, Messrs. Burton and Wister; but still enough remain to guarantee a reasonable degree of success and a sufficiently high character for the book proposed. Besides it is very probable that, if it is desired, the committee could secure the active assistance of several members of '82, who took an active interest in the enterprise last spring. Indeed, we are informed that one of these gentlemen, at least, has promised to render every aid in his power to the work. With these prospects there would seem to be no reason for delay on the part of the committee.
