One of the finest entertainments nj
the season was the concert given bv
the Tufts College Glee, Mandolin and
Guitar clubs. under the auspices of the
Franklin Unity, the social organization
connected with the Clinton Unitarian
Church. The entertainment was given
in Bigelow Hall. Nearly every seat was
taken, about 400 persons being present.

in the Glee club, and they were for the
most part musicians. The concert was
typical by the amount OF nonsense mu-
sic that was rendered. 1t is the idea
of the leader, L. $. Hart that when
people come to hear college giee clubs.
they come to hear college music. A
very enjoyable thing was the piece.
