Through the ability and the satisfactory conduct of the fifty members, the Musical Clubs have done as much during the past vacation as in any previous year toward spreading the good name of Harvard in the Middle West.

But beyond this general result of all such holiday trips, two peculiar new features have marked the Clubs' 1914-15 tour. In the first place, a dual concert with Michigan in Detroit offered great possibilities for cementing the new friendship started by the football game last fall. At a smoker Saturday afternoon the musicians from the two universities met informally, while in the evening the good relations between Michigan and Harvard were made manifest through the appearance of both organizations on the same stage.

Even more significant, however, was the plan adopted in three cities, of opening the balconies to high school students for a small price. At the concerts in St. Paul and Chicago over 500 members of local preparatory schools heard the concert by the Musical Clubs. Among these boys who are just making their choice of a college, the University was advertised legitimately and effectively. This feature of the trip will probably bring many new students from the Middle West, and will do much to bring Harvard into closer touch with the more distant schools.
