Third on our popularity list was Phillips Brooks House work. The distinguished reputation which the House has for all kinds of social work is well deserved, and it is constantly branching out.
The Glee Club, best known for its spring concerts on the steps of Widener Library, is the most popular division of the musical interests, but every body loves the band, many enjoy the Instrumental Clubs and orchestra, and a few boys really in the know in this line speak well of the Pierian Sodality.
Less Dirty Work
An article on the possibilities of football managing appears elsewhere in this paper, and all the other Freshman sports have managers, because--well, somebody has got to do the dirty work. Seriously, however, the Athletic Association has at least begun to realize that managing can be a profitable, interesting task, if its competitions are more humanely run, Freshman exercise credit is given for this sort of work.
HSU, Debating, Dramatics
The Student Union is another very live organization. Seldom dormant, this political left wing is constantly agitating, and has a lot of fun scrapping with the newly-formed Young Conservatives, or Young Independents, as they later came to be called. The Student Union sponsors many worth-while talks and debates on various subjects.
Debating seems to be growing rapidly in popularity and the Debating Council holds try-outs for regularly scheduled Yardling word-battles with other colleges. In the field of dramatics, the Dramatic Club recently had a stormy year, including a number of mix-ups with women's colleges, with whom they were trying to put on shows. The final blow was when the Hygiene Building began to take over the Dramatic Club's home, known as "Big Tree," in the building. Thus there is never a dull moment for the actors.
End in Sight
The Mountaineering Club, which climbs hills and even went as far as Alaska to climb this summer, the Memorial Society, which remembers traditions, the Rifle Club, which blazes away in the ghostly recesses of the basement of Memorial Hall, the Flying club, which files, the language clubs (Circolo Italiano, Cercle Francais, Veriem Turmwaechter,) the religious organizations, and the "social", groups (with which you will not be concerned until next year), all these and more are part of the vast world of things at Harvard and all offer the benefit of friendship from common interests.
