For several days there have been posted in conspicuous places about the yard notices of trials of candidates for the 'varsity Glee Club to be held tonight in lower Dane Hall. It is probable that a good many new comers among us have looked at these notices with more or less envy but with a feeling that their efforts to get on the club would be in vain. Such a feeling as this has no place here at Harvard. Ability is ability no matter whether it is found in a freshman or a senior, and it is one of the characteristics of the place that ability will be recognized no matter where it may be found. The false modesty which keeps a man hidden within himself doubtless effects every organization in college. There is probably much undiscovered talent in athletics, though here the chances of discovery from without are great. There must be much more undiscovered talent in literary and musical, ways for here it cannot be exposed by any other than its possessor. Freshmen should feel that, if they have good voices, they will have as good a chance as anyone else. If they are taken onthe club, they are fortunate; if they fail, no harm has been done to any one.
