The notice in another column concerning the sale of tickets for the Sanders Theatre concert of the musical clubs needs a word of explanation. Under the old system for the sale of seats anyone could get tickets and as a matter of fact in recent years many very objectionable persons have secured tickets. The result is that both the concert and the dance afterwards in Memorial have steadily lost interest for college men and their friends. This is, of course, very unfortunate and the musical organizations are determined that it shall be stopped. In order to bring about the change which they desire they have been compelled to take matters firmly in hand. There is no reason why the December and Spring concerts of the musical clubs should not be as much social features of the college year here as they are at Yale, for instance, and it is precisely this that the officers of the clubs hope to bring about. The change in the method of selling tickets is the first step and a good one. The concert now loses in considerable degree its public character and becomes an invitation affair. In this way it will be kept within the control of college men. Other changes in the same direction will probably be announced.
