There are certain indications, however, of renewed energy in musical quarters. The Glee Club shingle comes out much oftener and stays much longer than it did a month or so ago...
...Club, and the lecture by Professor Norton, seem to us deserving of more than the bare statement of facts given last week. It is to be conducted in the same manner as one which Professor Norton gave, along with a lecture on etchings, at Parker Memorial Hall several years ago. The interest in the Art Club has greatly increased among its members, and we feel convinced that this exhibition will tend to arouse a similar interest among the other members of the University.
