SONGS OF ALL COLLEGES, IN
CLUDING MANY NEW SONGS
Compiled and arranged by David r.
Chamberlain, of Harvard, and Carl Z.
Harrington, of Wesleyan. Kinds & No
bic, New York.
This new college song book is the latest
contribution to collegiate literature of its
class. 1t has many features, which will
appear strange to collegians of 80 years
ago, who are familiar with the old Gar
nina Collegensia." The words and music
are arranged in quarto size pages, of
which there are 21S. The collection is
remarkable for the high quality of music
to which the cOmpilers have limited them
selves, and also for the appearance for the
first time of many institutions not repre-
scented in previous collections, such as the
Northwestern University, the universities
of Minnesota, Iowa, Oregon and Stanford,
the women's colleges, Vassar, Mt Holyoke
and others also are given a place. Old
timers will look in vain for such favorites
as the Lone Fish Ball" Coca che-lunk,"
and Here's to good old Yale; drink her
down" But he will be consOled by find
ing such musical treasures as 'Upidee, ,
Sucking Cider Through Straw" and
"Lauriger Horatius." The collection
seems to have been to interest as many in
situations as possible, although more have
no representation whatever.
There is one improvement that we think
could be made. and that would be to des-
ignate the college origin of various songs
when they had college origin which ap-
pear without information as to where they
originated. There are in the book alto
gether some 172 songs sbeginning with '.Ah
me! Conditione," and ending with ''Zwei
Beer" tsr
