The final organization of the freshman musical clubs should mark the beginning of an active season's work. These clubs are thoroughly worth the time and interest put into them, and the acquaintances which they form and which are continued by many afterwards in the University musical clubs are often among the pleasantest in College life. The University clubs need to be recruited each year by men who have started in on their class musical clubs and much of the success of each class when its time comes to manage the University clubs depends on the interest taken and the success achieved in the freshman year.

With the ending of the second half year the connection of the present senior class with the musical clubs ceases. On the officers who are or will be elected to carry them on we urge the necessity of doing more than has ever been done before to make the coming year a successful one. Something ought to be done to revive the writing of songs of light vein in which, up to within a year or two, Harvard men have been so successful. Without neglecting the demand for "the good old songs" which is so frequently expressed, can we not have some more of the "Hoodoo," "Mrs. Craigin's Daughter," "Wing Tee Wee," or "Debutante" variety?
