friday evening from a musical standpoint was very suc cessful under the leadership of felix golian 02 the members have been practicing faithfully and the results of their work were in every way satisfactory the individual playing evinced the ability of the members and the orchestra as a body played in perfect unison two selections were rendered by the mandolin club which responded t encores each time the piano and violin solos were executed in an able manner and the numbers were all well-chosen and thor oughly appreciated by the audience the concert was in every way a a credit to the organization and to the university and showed that there is considerable talent in col lege which only needs the proper support of the undergraduates to make the orchestra a success financially the concert was noth ing short of a failure for the at tendance was far from what it should have been there being a very small percentage of college men present which was probably due to the fact that the date was changed at a late hour and that friday night is a regular meeting night of nearly all the fraternities and societies the program of the concert was as follows : march — " doocht no 2 .

be given in all twenty-four regular and four extra of these fourteen will be waltzes and the remainder two steps in many respects the selec tion of the date for this dance is a most happy one on the
