ALUMNUS CRITICIZES
 HARVARD GLEE CLUB
Withdrawal From Contests Draws Caustic Comments From New
 York Composers.

Cambridge Mass. Jan. 2I LPD - Another Harvard alumnus has taken a fall out Of the Harvard Cilee club for withdrawal from the intercollegiate glee club contest in New York. Gardner Lamson, of New York, '77. musician and com poser, not only disagrees with the club for refusing 10 participate in the competition but intimates that the organization Is not up 10 the rating that is claimed for 1t fin uni yersity circles. Other collegians, he says, wonder whether Harvard men are truly good fellows after ull."
 Referring to the recent work of he club he complains that features of interpretation and technical performance, in themselves excel lent and unusual in such organiza- tions, were stressed, developed. over-refined, till they have become fads inevitably producing monoto- ny, unvirility, and checking spon- taneity.
 The prize has several times been awarded elsewhere than to Harvard, and we could find no jus titication for challenging the awards of the judges"
 Mir. Lamson's comments are con- tained in letter to the Harvard Crimson. the undergraduate stu. dent daily.
