PLANS FOR ENTERTAINMENTS.

A not uncommon example of the apparent lack of co-operation among those arranging entertainments was offered Monday night. In addition to the usual number of rehearsals and committee meetings, there were three lectures open to the public, a free performance of the Cercle Francais plays, and a concert by a famous quartet. It is true that these entertainments appealed to different classes of men; but many must have found it hard to choose between two of them.

With the purpose of securing better distribution of these affairs, a memorandum book was started in the Union some weeks ago. Interesting lectures and performances are given under the auspices of so many organizations that some such clearing-house of dates seems to be the only remedy. It should not be necessary to emphasize the fact that an incomplete record is little better than none. If one or two important events are not entered, the very nights on which they occur may be taken by something equally important. We have a wealth of lectures to choose from, and they should not be arranged so that a man must choose between two or more which he is equally anxious to attend, when nothing else in which he is particularly interested is scheduled during a long interval.
