...cannot say how much truth there may be in these charges, but they seem to indicate that something is or has been wrong in the management. If the Glee club considers itself a university organization which intends to embody the best musical talent of Harvard, the above charges are serious, and the society ought to be reformed.

...range near the college, where they can go without trouble for an afternoon's sport. The grounds at Allston would be admirably adapted to the needs of the club and it has already been suggested by the college authorities to use them if possible for athletic purposes. All interests seem combined in favor of the scheme proposed by the directors. It only remains for the members of the Shooting club to attend the meeting this evening and provide for the necessary expenses...

...seem to have come to feel that the executive committee is alone responsible for the success of the meetings, and that they do their part if they attend the meetings and find fault if anything goes wrong. Unquestionably the executive committee is especially responsible; the members realize this fact and will do their utmost to make the meetings good...
