It is with anything but pleasure that we feel obliged to call attention to the present condition of the Pierian Sodality. The men who are at present the managers of the Pierian do not perhaps understand that a responsibility of no light weight rests on their shoulders, and that in their official capacity they owe it to the university to bring the society back to its former position among Harvard musical organizations. The managers, however, cannot be entirely responsible for the present degenerate condition of the Society in view of the fact that the members themselves have lost all interest, do not attend rehearsals and have made so little effort to prepare good music that they have not been able to give any concerts at all during the winter outside of Sanders Theatre. The Sodality must get into better condition before the spring concert. Every one expects to hear a creditable performance and without the Pierian the concert will not be so interesting as usual.
