In the hurried examintation given by us of the
Cornell Song book, just published as we went to
press, we did not perceive a glaring fault which we
should have noticed at the time. Our criticism is
that the book is incomplete, inasmuch as several
important songs are omitted. Nowhere do we find
"Kaiser's Little Dog," "Peeler, Peeler," "Student
of Cadiz," "Little Ball of Yarn," "Corduroy,"
"Room, Boys, Room," and a host of others, too
numerous to mention. While we realize that the
editors were very much hurried in the preparation of
the work, we must condemn their carelessness in
the omission of so many popular Cornell Songs.
Truly, the field is yet open to some aspiring musi-
cian.
