Music is as essential at a football game as peanuts at the circus. Last week the Band--in spite of sundry bombardments of the bass horn--did its share of the entertaining with credit. The cheering, too, left little to be desired; but where was the singing?

If they did, we might see an alarming increase in the number of Colgate alumni to be found among the Living Skeletons and the Human Matchsticks at the circus. Colgate may need the money; but a surtax on waistlines is a dangerous way to raise...
