...enjoy the advantages of the room and willing to bear their share of the expense. Depending on this promised support, the officers of the association have got the room into running order, and have placed on file an exceptionally valuable collection of papers and periodicals. We are sorry to learn, however, that a very small proportion of the original subscribers have as yet thought it worth while to make good their promises.

The advantages of such an institution will be more especially felt at a time when a matter of inter-collegiate interest is under discussion, and when it may be desirable or interesting to learn the sentiment of other colleges with respect to the matter.

...matter of great regret that so few men in college take advantage of the opportunity for learning to read music offered by the classes just forming under the charge of Mr. Carey. We feel sure that there are many men with fair or even excellent voices, which they never make use of, merely for the reason that they have never had the opportunity nor taken the trouble to learn to read music.
