It was thought at the beginning of the year, from the fact that about one-half of the members of the Glee Club had left college, that the club could hardly anticipate during the coming winter as great a success as it obtained last year. The response that was made to the call for candidates was so hearty, however, that a large addition of good material has been made to the club and if the work at the rehearsals may be referred to as a criterion, the college will have a belter glee club this year than for several years past. Among the new songs that are now being practiced are the following by Thayer: "Over the Banister," "Bugle Song," "Courtship." In addition the song "Happiest Land," by Hatton which was a favorite four or five years ago will be sung. The club has already received more then twenty invitations to sing, but all have been declined with the exception of two or three. Concerts will be given in Newton and Saco in a few weeks. It has been proposed that a western tour be taken by the club during the holidays, but owing to the difficulty of arranging such a trip and of obtaining the consent of the faculty, nothing definite can be stated in regard to the matter. Following is the list of the men who are at present singing with the club either as regular members or upon probation:
1st Tenors-Hurlburt, Gr; Bullard, '89; Merrill, '89; Gay, '90; Willard, '91; Skinner, L. S; Nuss, '90; Fleetwood, '91.
