The musical clubs start on their Christmas trip this morning and the students will follow their career with no little interest. No less than the athletic teams which go out from here, the musical clubs represent the University and the way the members conduct themselves is watched quite as critically as are the actions of athletes. Probably the effect which this trip will have on future attendance here at college is little or nothing. It will serve, however, as a source of great pleasure to the alumni and present members of the University who may reside in the cities which the clubs visit. These trips have always been delightful to the men who have taken them and there has never been anything in connection with them to bring discredit on the University. The clubs have always remembered and will always remember that one disgraceful act in any city will undo the reputation for gentlemanliness which Harvard men have made in that city. We feel sure that the social side of Harvard life will never be dishonored by trips of the musical clubs and that no one need feel any hesitancy about wishing the clubs today a pleasant journey and a good time.
