After "Schneider's Band" by the Glee club and three cheers for Holden, Leeds, and Adams, the toastmaster introduced Mr. Garrison. He urged that all men should give up their personal comfort to try for the teams, train, or at least applaud on the field. "Imogene Donahue" was followed by a short speech from Dr. F. M. Weld, '60.

All were ready to applaud whenever provocation offered. In spite of the fact that the clubs had been travelling steadily for a week, the pieces were given with greater snap, if with less care, than in New York. Encores were demanded, particularly of the banjo men, until the programme was nearly doubled. The Glee Club was assisted by Honore, '88, president of the club last year, who sang...
