In the welter of evening lectures, concerts, and meetings which the myriad interests of Harvard offers, there is much confusion. The music-lover who is anxious perhaps to hear a famous statesman lecture loses an opportunity, because he cannot miss his Symphony; and the member of many clubs and organizations frequently finds himself swamped with their meetings when distinguished world authorities to whom he would like to listen, are talking three blocks away in Emerson J or the Union.
To obviate this conflict as much as possible, the Student Council Committee on Organizations has proposed a night for everything and everything on its night; Thursdays -- musical recitals; Mondays and Wednesdays--Union entertainments, which we surmise covers other lectures as much as possible; and Tuesdays -- club meetings. The hardest part of the practical application of the scheme is that of club night, because of the number of organizations to be dealt with. By a study of the membership of the Social Clubs, the Committee have found that, adopting different Tuesday's in the month, all could hold their regular meetings on the one evening of the week with practically no conflicts for individual members. It now remains for the clubs to act. A little trouble on their part, a little co-operation, will not only increase the effectiveness of lectures and musicals, but, once inaugurated, will accommodate their own members. For, with due apology, to that long-suckled watchword of Harvard indifference, there are men and even club men who take an interest in the extra-curriculum opportunities -- intellectual, and artistic--held out to them here.
