The freshman glee club has started out under very favorable conditions. Few freshman clubs have had the attention paid to them in the start which has been given to Ninety-five. The club has all the benefits which the 'varsity has just acquired in the use of the old Hasty Pudding building on Holmes Field. This insures an amount of uninterrupted practice which was not always to be had at Roberts Hall. As far as can be judged at present, the material of the club is fully up to the average of freshman glee clubs, and with earnest work ought to develop well.

The club gives its first concert tonight. Were it not for the example of last year's club, we should not think of offering the following remark, but remembering some of the things that happened at out of town concerts of the Ninety-four freshman glee club, we take this opportunity of reminding Ninety-five that outside the college they stand as representatives of Harvard, and that the college has a right to demand of them that they behave like Harvard gentlemen.

In recurring to last year's club we are reminded of the disgraceful spectacle of the spring concert given for the benefit of the freshman crew. Out of a class of over three hundred men, twenty went to the concert. It is always hard work to support a freshman crew, but one of the easiest ways of doing so is by giving the glee club hearty support and standing by them in all their work. With the exception of last year's class, the previous classes have shown this spirit of loyalty to the glee club and thus made the work of sending their crew to New London less difficult. The spring concert is still far ahead, but the time is at hand for the class to lend its encouragement to the glee club in their work.

Much responsibility rests, too, with the management of the freshman glee club. The support of the class would be of little avail if it were not judiciously used. The managers have it in their power to make their glee club a very great help to their crew, and they should spare no pains to make the most of their opportunities.
