DEAR SIRS.- Although fault is seldom found nowadays with the programme of a symphony concert on account of its brevity, the prevailing tendency of the programs being rather the other way, I think many of the music lovers present at the beautiful concert on Thursday evening in Sanders theatre will regret that the cello selection played by Mr. Hekking under the simple title "Melodie," by Mathuet, was not more fully described, when they hear that the real title of the piece is "Electra's Invocation."

After that date the men will be divided according to the events they are working for and the work will be far more systematic than at present. Of course we are to have a tug-of-war team but it is impossible to get one under way until after the examinations. Captain Sturgis called a meeting of candidates the other day but nobody appeared...
