...understand that it has been proposed to introduce an innovation into the chapel services next year which cannot but result in making them even more interesting than at present. Mr. Locke, the chorister and organist of the chapel, intends to organize a choir of about fifteen boys to sing alto and soprano parts, while the present choir as usual take the tenor and bass parts. The range of music written for the parts at present taken by the choir is exceedingly limited, and for this reason it has been felt for some time that a change was necessary...

In its rendering of college songs the club was far from coming up to the standard of former years. The club is much too small to sing effectively in college choruses.
