Now that the evenings are growing longer, it is to be hoped we shall hear more of the Glee Club. But two concerts are given annually, one in the fall and one in the spring, which together with the informal concerts in the yard, are the only opportunities within our reach for showing our appreciation of the Glee Club's work. They are said occasionally to visit neighboring town in conjunction with the Pierian Sodality to give concerts, but never sing in Boston or other places accessible to the mass of students. At other colleges the glee clubs are frequently heard, and give several concerts at least a year, besides making extended trips from city to city. Thus the Princeton club has visited New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore this winter, and we have had the pleasure of hearing the Yale concert in Boston. On the other hand, the managers of our clubs may answer that the unexpressed wishes of the music-lovers in college do not lead them to expect a liberal support, nor justify them in giving more frequent exhibitions. We think they are wrong, as the college at large would be only too glad to show its approval of their efforts if it lay in its power, although it has never urged the matter. We have not spoken in complaint of the conduct of the Glee Club, nor of the Sodality, but because we hope in the future to enjoy more of their music, and show how fully we would sustain them.
