MUSICAL CLUBS VISIT THE WEST
April, 1915

Further initiative on the part of the musical clubs has resulted in the scheduling of a western trip with Cleveland as its terminus, to be taken during the Easter recess, according to the plans of the manager made public in March. Eight cities will be visited, including New York City, Albany, Buffalo, Hartford, Manchester, East Orange, Binghamton, and Cleveland, and a total of nine concerts will be given. The trip is the longest that has been undertaken by a Dartmouth organization in several years.

The combined clubs of 37 men left Hanover March 30, for Manchester, where they were entertained at the alumni dinner and reunion held there March 30 and 31. The musical clubs were only part of a long program including "President Nichols, Governor Spaulding of New Hampshire, and Mayor Spaulding of Manchester. Hartford was the next stop of the party, on April 1 ; the following concerts were given in Binghamton and Albany. The Buffalo program was under the auspices of the high schools of the city. On April 8, the clubs reached the terminus of their western engagements, in a concert arranged by the Cleveland alumni. The New York concert on April 9 was followed by a dance in the Waldorf, as in 1913.

The recent victory in the intercollegiate glee club competition in New York City, in which the Dartmouth clubs won the large silver cup offered for first, will add interest to the visit of the organization to cities in which they have not appeared for some time. The program to be presented will not differ greatly from that presented during the Winter Carnival in Hanover. C. E. Griffith, Jr. '15 of Wilmington, Del., will be featured in violin solos, with the L. W. Joy '16—R. H. Baxter '17 combination on the xylophone, and R. A. Burlen '16 in impersonations.
