Freshman Glee Club.

The permanent selection of men for the Freshman Glee Club was made about a week ago, and since that time the improvement made by the club in singing has been apparent. The number of men at present on the club is thirty-two. Heretofore the freshman glee clubs have contained not more than twenty-seven voices, but this year, owing to the closeness of the competition, it was thought best to try the experiment of going beyond the usual limit. If it is found later on that the club would do better with fewer men, probably about five voices will be dropped-two from the first basses and one from each of the other parts. The club is not quite as far advanced as the Ninety-one club was at this time last year, but the men are improving rapidly and the outlook for a strong chorus is by no means unpromising. The following are the men at present singing on the club:-

FIRST TENORS.Fleetwood, Higgins,

Williams, M. F. Riddle,

Bailey, Grant.

SECOND TENORS.Brown, Lamont,

J. P. Lee, Tassin,

Thorndike, E. White, Whiting.

FIRST BASSES.Allen, L. F. Berry,

Codman, Gratwick,

Hubbard, J. H. Hunt,

Jackson, Orcutt,

Porter, Rantoul, Sanders.

SECOND BASSES.Batchelder, Bruegger,

Francis, Hollis,

Howell, Morse, Skinner.

The voices are all good, and most of the men have a decided musical talent. The most prominent fault in their singing, at present, is in the lack of harmony in the voices. The men sing well individually, but there is a perceptible lack of blending in the different tones. Rehearsals are being held three times a week, and the club is being drilled as thoroughly as possible by the leader, H. S. Potter. The other officers of the club are S. Howell, president; J. C. Hubbard, secretary, and J. B. Wetherell, pianist.
