Today the musical clubs start upon their holiday trip to the western cities. We take this opportunity of wishing them all the success which they deserve and will doubtless gain. They have a chance upon this trip to work much good for Harvard. They are the Harvard students' regularly accredited representatives, and as such they will be treated. It should be their effort in such a position to reflect due credit upon the University. In the West where Harvard is often ignorantly or wilfully misunderstood, there is an excellent chance for the men in the musical clubs to correct any wrong impression which may exist. These are, moreover, the few opportunities which the graduates in the Middle and Western States have of meeting the present, active undergraduate life. Such opportunities serve excellently to make strong the ties which bind the graduates to their old college. Without strong graduate backing an educational institution cannot prosper. Harvard has that support, and the undergraduates who are now to represent the college should do their part towards making this graduate feeling and support still more vigorous and strong.
