...proposed concert at Sanders Theatre is to be a success, let the Glee Club, instead of expending its energy in practising music that is not suited to it, give its time and attention to learning a few good hearty songs. If this is done, we can promise the Club an enthusiastic reception and much future success...
...cannot let pass the opportunity of joining with the Advocate, in earnestly hoping that Mr. Childs will consent to deliver in Cambridge his lectures on English Ballad Poetry, so that the members of the University and others may hear them. We were almost inclined to be jealous at the good fortune of the people of Baltimore, until we saw that such a feeling would be unreasonable; we remembered that, until last week, no desire to hear Mr. Childs's lectures had been publicly expressed.

The single-sculls will attract no little attention, and the Union and Harvard four-oars ought to make a good race. It is a matter of regret, however, that none of the associations challenged is willing to send a six-oared crew. The race which it was hoped would take place, May 25, between the six of the winning club and the amateur sixes, will be given up, therefore; but that...
