The Banjo Club, though recently handicapped by the resignation of the '98 members, is now doing excellent work, rehearsals being held regularly twice a week. At the trial for new members, which took place directly after the mid-years, very promising material showed up. The club has already given several successful concerts, besides having played at the Massachusetts Yacht Club and at the Vendome, March 4 and 5. The officers are: J. McD. Campbell '99, president; J. A. Burnham, Jr., '99, leader, and W. D. Smith '99, secretary.
