We have noticed an account of the sale of boxes and seats for the Yale Glee Club Concert, and find that by this sale the Yale navy will realize over eight hundred dollars from the premiums alone paid for the best seats. We cannot help being struck with so admirable a method of raising money for the crew, and feel bound to recommend it to both our Glee Club and Crew managements. There is no doubt that the old way of getting money is carried to excess, the subscription method is a burden, and ought to be done away with; but money must be obtained in some way or other. We have a Glee Club and other musical clubs, and there is every opportunity offered us to get up a successful concert in Boston. It is absurd to let such a chance slip by.

If anything is done, however, we sincerely hope that it will be pushed through with some energy, and not be allowed to fizzle out as did a concert given with a similar end in view not many years ago. On this occasion, will be remembered, owing to negligence on the part of someone, since clubs sang to nearly empty be as successful . If properly managed, this scheme will be as successful here as elsewhere, and would relieve the strain on the overburdened pocket-books of the undergraduates.
