SINGING FOR THE SINGERS.

The comprehensiveness of the system of Freshman musical activities for the second half-year marks a new and important step in the popularization of this branch of art. The revival of the class Glee, Mandolin, and Banjo Clubs, after their hibernation through the first year of 1918, will be an extra prize of some value for the most proficient. The heart of the new system, however, is the interdormitory competition. With no limit on the size of these clubs, any Freshman may get some elementary knowledge of music. The half hour of practice on Wednesday evenings can be made into a general gathering of the three dormitory groups and can become a tradition of the new halls. Freshman singing is excellent for developing the musical powers of the singers,--and it tends to preserve the dormitories from the visits of the profanum vulgus.
