Musical Interests

The Chronicle in its last issue takes the student community to tank for an apparent carelessnees in the interest of the musical society and its coneerts. We think the writer is correct and that he might justly have found fault with a large number of our citizens, who, while claiming to desire a high musical standard among us, do not encourage such interests by a genereus attendaoce of the concerts given from time to time in Dniversity hall. Of course, if one desires, he can always find a reason for not giving such efforts his support, but we see no reason why a fifty cent concert in our town should not have as large an attendance as a dollar or' a dollar and a half theatre; certainly it cannot be the prioe of admission. Six or eight yearg 8go the concerts offered by the lecture association were" very largely attended, and such an enter tainment as given by the Schubert club, was not only loudly applauded, but a subject of much pleasure and convergation for some time after. Now, however, we pride ourselves on being able to understand something higher than that; yet if we remember right some thought the Detroit Philharmoaic clib "too classical." What are we going to dol Mr. Cady you have ruine J us, we neither like "popular" concert nor "olassical" concerts ; we hare evidently reached the period commonly known as between hay and grass, and are apparently bound to be dissatisfied. Still do not despair. Ann Arbor is advancing in musical culture, and musical interests must have a boom. We will come out to the next concert and give the Alpine choir the house they deserve; for we learn that they give a very delightful entertainment.
