The Crime

In past years an outstanding criticism of the Harvard Glee Club has been that while it sang with unusual feeling and tone, the general effect was too heavy. Harvard has a good Glee Club but any organization limited solely to men's voices grows monotonous. No one has been able to hit on a solution. The importation of a few of the famed "castnati" from Italy has been suggested but it was discovered that the Mussolini regime has abolished all that sort of thing. On occasional instances the Wellesley Glee Club has been merged with Harvard's but this has been merely a temporary stop-gap and has but served to what the desire for some means of injecting life and a high register into the booming basses of our choral organization. However the problem seems to have been solved. some decision must have been reached, although it smacks to us strongly of coercion. We leave it up to the reader to pass judgment. The cause for our concern is to wit, a notice issued to the Glee Club which reads as follows: "Notice: Rehearsal tonight at 7:30. All men and tenors."
