To the Editors of the Crimson:
Yesterday's parade of students to Soldiers Field and cheering the team was an undoubted success, but it seems to me there was one decided omission. The CRIMSON of yesterday contained copies of several songs written to be sung at this game, and most of us thought those songs were to be learned and sung at the practice. Copies were distributed to the men, but absolutely no effort was made to start singing. The men were ready and anxious, but the Glee Club for some unknown reason seemed indisposed to start things going by leading. The band has worked hard at all the important games, and it seems to many of us only fitting that the Glee Club should do its share of the work. The songs are good ones, but will be absolutely useless because no one has learned to sing them, and this might easily have been done yesterday. I would suggest that the CRIMSON reprint the songs as a supplement to Saturday's issue and urge every man to take a copy with him to the game and follow the band with the songs. Moreover, the ushers, 250 in number, could site together after the game has begun and lead in the singing. This would insure one solid body of men, and the others scattered through the stands would readily join in. The Yale men have arranged to do this, and the least we can do is to make an effort to get together at the game and sing for all we are worth. SENIOR.
