The Freshman Concert.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The '91 musical organizations made their first appearance in Cambridge last night, giving a concert for the benefit of the freshman crew at Lyceum Hall. The freshman concert each year has taken its place among the college events, and the success of '91 has not yet been equalled. The Glee Club has had valuable assistance from Mr. Locke, and under Mr. Liscomb as leader has done most faithful work, singing with much spirit. There are but few prominent voices. Mr. Willard received a hearty encore for his tenor solo, and easily takes a place among the best tenors in college. Mr. Hackett, who has been heard in the vesper services by many, has a grand baritone voice, much beyond the ordinary glee club calibre. His encore was especially finely rendered.

The Banjo Club also made a great hit, and though it be '91, can show certain other clubs in college the result of careful work. Their selections are also very appropriate. There was an innovation in the way of a concert solo by Mr. Wendell, who played Sullivan's "Lost Chord." It is a long time since a good wind instrument has been heard in college, making a pleasing feature of a programme.

The audience was most satisfactory both in numbers and in the hearty support given the clubs. Nearly all the members received encores, partly due to a number of upper-classmen in the gallery, who showed their appreciation by prolonged applause.
