The account of the Christmas trip of the musical clubs, which is finished in this morning's CRIMSON gives evidence that the trip was full of pleasure for the members of the clubs. In every way except financially it was the most successful trip ever taken by the clubs. Everywhere the men were received with courtesies which will long be remembered by them, and in return they have the satisfaction of knowing that their own efforts to please others were markedly successful. The press notices of the concerts in the various cities visited are unusually flattering; and what is especially gratifying, these notices tell plainly that it was not alone the concert which left the agreeable impression, but the men who gave it. The members of the clubs have evidently conducted themselves everywhere as worthy representatives of the university and this cannot have failed to have its good effect on public opinion. The concerts themselves were in every case pleasant reunions of Harvard graduates, and thus one of the first objects of the trip was fulfilled. The lack of financial success was due to the great distances between the cities in which the concerts were given, and the consequent heavy traveling expenses. Another year the trip will doubtless be planned so that this can be in a measure avoided. This year the clubs have had such a pleasant time that they can stand the disappointment at not having cleared a handsome sum by the trip.
