A CONTEST OF SONG.

This evening, in Carnegie Hall, the University Glee Club will take part in the first Intercollegiate Glee Club meet, against representatives of Columbia, Dartmouth, and Pennsylvania. Contact between undergraduates of different universities, whether of an athletic or an intellectual kind, is most broadening to the men and beneficial to the Universities. It is possible that this meeting may be the first step away from the present over-emphasis on athletic intercourse and a step toward a more valuable and a higher kind of connection, based on similar tastes of a mental rather than a physical nature.
