In a communication published in another column, the management of the Glee club refer to our editorial article of March 1 as containing "indefinite and absurd charges." We wish to inform these gentlemen that our criticism was based upon complaints from members of the club itself. We can name some of the members "who are so disgusted with the management of the club that they are ready to resign." We have yet to find any one who considers the record of the club through the autumn and winter as good as its record in recent years. Even the management of the club confess that the Arlington concert was "below par." More than one of members who took part believe that it could be "called nothing else than disgraceful." The concert last Friday evening certainly deserves commendation. If the improvement shown there is continued, we shall have nothing but praise for future concerts.

In regard to the charge that the club "does not represent by any means the musical abilities of the college," we have been misinformed, and upon further investigation have come to the conclusion that the complaint is without foundation.

The management of the club have misrepresented what we said about a "professional trainer." What we suggested was, not "that the Glee club should employ a professional trainer;" but that it should employ the "trainer for the whole year." We were well aware that the members of the club were trained by a teacher, though we were misinformed as to the amount of time he devoted to instructing them. It still appears that neither he nor the club pretends to develop men who are not already competent singers. Our suggest on was that the club by forming a thoroughly drilled reserve chorus, by diminishing their number and raising their standard, or otherwise, should offer sufficient inducement in the way of real teaching, to bring out every man of musical abllity in college.

We are glad that the officers have taken this opportunity to explain how the club is run. Under the new management the club seems to be showing more activity than before and a determination to improve We hope it will reform some existing deficiencies, and as the concert of last Friday seems to promise, rise to the highest level it has ever attained.
