...subject, and though, like the rest of the college, we wonder at the singular negligence that should have left it for us to write, we are well satisfied that it should be so. We wish to call attention to the manager's statement of finances, which clearly shows the need of money, for the expenditures of the Nine have been great and the receipts small. The tickets issued by the Nine for the college games to take place in Cambridge are put at a very low figure, when it is taken into consideration that there are eight coupons...
...folly and evils of reckless overwork have within the past few weeks been brought forcibly to the notice of every student. We need not comment upon the sadness of the cases in question, but the lesson they contain cannot be too strongly emphasized. This is the season when hard work is most fatiguing, and yet most necessary. An ambitious student, trusting to the approaching vacation for rest and recovery, is tempted to strain every nerve, and, before he is hardly conscious of his danger, he may do himself irreparable injury.

...there is every reason why the Club should not devote itself exclusively to that kind of music. The members of the Club are chosen from among those with good voices and with good musical ability. There would be no fitness in their giving their attention to music that needs neither of these qualifications for its entirely successful performance. As to whether the outside world craves for "real college songs" when it comes to a Glee Club concert, we think this a matter open to serious doubt. Of course there are always a few people of depraved tastes in any assembly...
