4. The Instrumental clubs always retain the right to furnish for themselves any quartet or small-sized singing organization which they wish to Provide for their own concerts, by themselves, provided that the name Harvard Instrumental Clubs be not changed under any circumstances.

This agreement is printed in order to clarify the general misunderstanding which has existed in regard to the relations between the two clubs over since their separation last year. According to the old agreement all the clubs were combined under one management, and called the Harvard Musical Clubs.

The new agreement allows each organization to operate independently, at the same time providing for their working together whenever desired, particularly on such occasions as the dual concerts with Yale and Princeton and on the annual trips to New York and Providence Through this arrangement the newly organized Song Club will automatically be abolished and the members recently retained will be given a change on the Glee Club.
