The letter in today's CRIMSON explaining the future policy of the Glee Club will at least help to dispell some of the misinformed impressions that have grown up owing to a recent announcement that there was to be but one concert in Symphony Hall this year. As the writer explains, the new methods are an expansion rather than a restriction of Glee Club activity.
The opportunity for progressive effort which the inclusion of female voices offers in choral music will widen the repertoire of the Glee Club beyond the unfortunately narrow field in which they were previously working. Such a departure from the conventional college glee club practice is a worth while addition to the policy of advancing the standards of the Glee Club library which Dr. Davidson has so assiduously executed.
The purely practical advantages that present themselves with this new policy are also worthy of consideration. It is unfortunate that two concerts in Symphony Hall were financially impracticable, but with only one appearance the difficulty of insufficient box office receipts should be removed. Both of these changes are thoroughly in keeping with the present policy of the Glee Club to increase the quality and efficiency of their productions.
