Letter from the Regent.

HARVARD UNIVERSITY, CAMBRIDGE, May 24. 1894. To the Editor of the Crimson:

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

DEAR SIR:- You are right in your explanation of the interference with the singing of the Glee Club last evening. It was all a mistake, for which I am probably partly responsible in not having given explicit instructions to the College police with regard to the usual privileges of the Glee Club.

The newly appointed watchmen do not yet fully understand the difference between things which are allowable and those which are objectionable; but will, I trust, soon learn to distinguish between a Glee Club concert and a "boisterous demonstration."

I agree heartily with what you said in your editorial of this morning concerning the singing of the club, and I may add that it would probably be a source of enjoyment to the whole College if these summer evening concerts in the yard took place even more frequently than they now do. I know of no more attractive feature of college life.

It is pleasant to be able to speak, on this occasion as always, of the goodnatured manner in which the students last evening submitted to a very annoying interruption of their entertainment. I am,

Very truly yours,

GEO. A. BARTLETT.
