Though almost unknown to the rest of the college, it can scarcely be said, however, to shun its part in the life of the university. On the contrary, it furnishes throughout the year a rare profusion of opportunities for becoming acquainted with the best in music, both vocal and instrumental.

The University for him becomes a great industrial plant, each man selfishly pursuing his own affairs, wrapped up in his own friends, enveloped in "Harvard indifference." Surely something can be done to make the path of the Unclassified Student easier...
