FIRST MASS MEETING.

Enthusiasm for the football team will find expression in the first mass meeting of the year which is held tonight. It has never been necessary to urge men to attend these meetings; in fact there is more often a shortage of meetings than of men to take part in them.

It is now less than three weeks to the Yale game, and if our singing is to be an improvement over former years, it will be necessary for every one to learn the songs by heart. Many make no effort to do this, trusting that the words will be memorized by frequent practice. The result often is that when the Yale game comes, the new songs must still be sung, like unfamiliar hymns, from slips of paper. If there were no better reason for not putting this off until the last minute, a feeling of pride should spare us the torture of listening to extemporaneous songs.
