A racy article on "Harvard Happenings" appeared in last Saturday evening's Traveller. The writer considers the small attedance at the Glee Club concert. "Here." he says, "lies a moral: The Harvard Glee Club will draw a full house in any city it may deign to visit. Nowhere is it truer that a prophet is not without honor save in his own country than in Harvard College. Her ablest professors, with lectures which would be read with interest throughout the world, cannot fill a moderately sized hall in Cambridge." The art of writing college songs, he thinks, has been lost, none of lasting merit having been written for years. The blase Harvard man receives his usual castigation. Cambridge society is also touched up: "It seems to be the inevitable fate of colleges to have a great many rather passe society belles in their neighborhood, and Harvard fellows think they are extremely well, or rather ill favored in this respect," He thinks that the Advocate is likely after all to get the steward's scalp. He wants the Co-operative Society (striking suggestion) to undertake the management of a "university" reading room, in which the college and the Law School reading rooms shall be merged. "Basi" is his nom de plume.
