PILGRIM BAND

No matter what the comments of the experts on football teams in the Stadium this fall, all have been unanimous in their praise of the bands which have beguiled the entr'actes. And noticeably has the Harvard band upheld the honours of the host. Those with an eye to color may have made more glowing mention of the Pennsylvania showmen, but satisfaction with a band which leaves little to be desired in execution has been sincerely felt by Harvard men.

Though the appearance of the band leaves no doubt that it is made up of students at Harvard there is no definite feeling among any large group of supporters that it should be otherwise. Vague mutterings about "pants" occurred in the 'Alumini Bulletin' at one time, but for the most part there is still a preference for representation by a familiar uniform rather than by some second hand reminiscence of the circus tent on the rifle team. A tradition of performance precluding criticism, steadily nourished during the past two seasons, should be sufficient to give Harvard men of all ages a secure satisfaction when the marching musicians take the field on Saturday.
