The Pierian Sodality holds its first meeting to-morrow for the examination of candidates for the coming year. Every upperclassman recalls how prosperous the society was in every regard last year. Its successes, musical and financial, were entirely unprecedented. Everybody and those who are best able to judge music in particular, spoke favorably of the high degree of perfection which the orchestra achieved in its rendition of some of the more ambitious compositions which it performed. The bulk of the material of the orchestra is now of two years standing, as the club has lost only about seven men since '84 '85. This fact is very promising, as about all the men have had some thorough training in orchestral playing, so that we may expect some very good work from the club this year. It is to be hoped that a large number of candidates will present themselves for admission in order that the best talent in college may be secured. We extend our very best wishes to the club for its success.
