There was a happy reunion of Harvard sympathizers
last night in Chickering Hall greet the University
Glee Club and Banjo Club who now on an ex-
tended trip giving concerts for the benefit Of the
VARSITY crew. Every seat in the comfortable hall
was taken and the occasion seemed TO partake OF the
nature of a gathering in Sanders Theatre al Cambridge
There were many people present we'll known In
society, and the Varsity crew will probably go to
New-London with its treasury well filed. The COM
ing OF the clubs here welcomed by the
many New-York Harvard men because IT
is regarded as significant that light is
dawning In the East indicating freedom
for Harvads athletes and also because the Glee Club
is an admirable organization This Is the first visit
of the clubs to this city within the recollection Of the
oldest graduates and IL is hoped that they will
again. The Glee Club has twenty eight voices and It
sang last nighr with surprising volume, good swing
and In tune. The voices blended we'll and the tones
were graded in way that would do credit 10 an older
body Of singers. The programme did not contain so
much classical music Is usual with a Harvard Glec
Club, but the college songs. which were generally
new were sung better than they have been by any
college club that has visited this city for some years
The Banjo Club did its work well, but the Pertan
sodality would also have been welcome, had II been
possible TO bring large an organization.
