At times it has seemed that the lively interest which should always be shown in all University organizations has been wanting in the Glee Club. Soon after the Holidays especially, we heard numerous complaints that the older members of the club were leaving it, and that of the new men the material was anything but promising. Matters now, however, have greatly improved and the outlook is very promising. The new officers have gone to work energetically. The club receives regular instruction from one of the best teachers in Boston, the number and quality of the voices have been raised, and the general outlook is for a very successful season.

However successful the Glee Club is, it has always to contend with one serious drawback-the need of trained voices. Men come here from the preparatory schools with very fair voices, perhaps, but with little knowledge of music and still less careful training. The result is that the Glee Club has frequently to take comparatively untrained men and work them up to the requisite standard. If a part of this labor could be done beforehand, the saving and value of it to the University Glee Club would be infinite.

With the idea that opportunity be offered for such a training, we would suggest that the University Glee Club consider seriously the plan to establish a second glee club. The Glee Club, of course, best knows, how it could carry out such a plan. In our athletics it has been found that a second team works admirably. Why should not a second glee club become equally well a capital feeder and training school to the 'Varsity Glee Club?
