A few complaints have reached us from students who feel that they are abused because they are not given a chance to purchase the best seats in Sanders Theatre for the Symphony Orchestra concerts. The fact is that these concerts are not given primarily for the students. Major Higginson, if we are correctly informed, established these concerts that the university town of Cambridge might enjoy the same musical privileges as the city, and he further desired that officers of the University of certain rank, and the descendants of such officers, should be given the first opportunity to get tickets. This is what is now done. The rest of the tickets, over two-thirds of all there are, are placed on sale to the public.
It is, however, a matter well worth considering whether the interest in music among the students has not increased since these concerts were first given, to an extent which will warrant giving students a special opportunity to get good seats.
