On March 4 the Dartmouth Glee Club participated as usual in the annual University Glee Club competition in New York. The six competing clubs representing Columbia, Dartmouth, Harvard, Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania State, and Princeton, were surprisingly evenly matched, and the judges' task was therefore not an easy one. The prize was awarded to Princeton, and honorable mention to Pennsylvania State. The performance of the Dartmouth men was of high excellence, and won much favorable comment even from the supporters of the competing clubs.
