CORRESPONDENCE.

TO THE EDITORS OF THE CRIMSON: -

WHY should not the Freshmen have a Glee Club? I am a Freshman, and I take a great deal of pride in my class. I do not see why '81 should not be as much of a class as '79, and '79 had a Freshman Glee Club.

Its advantages are obvious. It gets fellows together, and is pleasant socially. It trains men to sing, and prepares them for the regular Glee Club; and then, too, it is sure to produce a Class Song, a thing that is at present much needed in our class. I understand that the '79 Glee Club tried very hard to get a good class song, but, failing in-its attempt, was obliged to accept one offered by a man of but modest musical accomplishments. There are several men in the class who have good voices, and, because they are only Freshmen, they have no chance for the Harvard Glee Club. I can sing a first-rate 2d tenor, and should be most happy to have my name associated with the foundation of anything so creditable as a Freshman Glee Club.

If you will be good enough to publish these few remarks in your columns. I will buy several copies of the Crimson to take round to different fellows, and then I think they will be ready to join in the attempt to start a permanent Freshman Glee Club; not only an affair for our class, but for every other Freshman class.

'81.
