To the Editor of the CRIMSON:

At a mass meeting last Wednesday night, Dr. Archibald T. Davidson, '06, the leader of the Glee Club, mounted the platform and in less than three minutes the thirteen hundred men jammed into the living-room of the Union were singing as few groups of Harvard men have ever sung. Singing won't win the game, but it is very important psychologically, for there are few things more inspiring than an enormous crowd really singing well. Dr. Davidson enunciated a few simple rules for mass singing, and every Harvard man should try to remember them at the Stadium this afternoon.

First of all, everybody sing! And mean what you sing! Open your mouths wide and make as much noise as you can! If you can't keep the tune, never mind; sing anyway! And shout whenever you have the chance--especially the three "fights" in Soldiers Field, the "Hi, hi" in Veritas, and the "fight" in Harvardiana.

But noise is not all. There are two technical points that make all the difference between a dull, heavy roar and spirited singing. Roll every r: "rrrip 'em thrrrough!" And sing as staccato as possible by putting an h before each vowel. Really "Hit the line for Harvard;" make "The cheers frrrom the Harvard hosts rrring high" mean something; and on the last line of the Marseillaise don't sing a feeble "Anon to victory," but a short, snappy prophetic: "hon hon to victory."
