As it was the eve of Christmas, the audience was not as large as might otherwise have been expected, but it made up in enthusiasm what it lacked in size. Of the concert itself, the kindest things were said. One of the city papers asserted that "the Glee Club, as a college organization, is by far the best that has yet been heard in this city; and indeed, was advanced to such a degree of excellence that members of Harvard's old glee clubs, in the days when...
