MUSICAL CLUBS TOUR
May 1920

Although held up time and again by the "outlaw" railroad strike in the West, the musical clubs put in appearance for every concert scheduled on their Western trip, playing in 13 different cities in the space of 15 days. The concert tour, which opened at Brattleboro, Vt.; April 2, was brought to a close with a performance in Springfield, Mass., April 16. In their two weeks on the road the clubs also appeared in Albany, Buffalo, Detroit, Evanston, Chicago, Toledo, Columbus, Cleveland, Youngstown, Pittsburg, and Atlantic City.

The same program was presented at every concert, including three songs by the glee club, two selections by the mandolin club, and a number of specialty acts. E. H. Rubin '23, violin soloist, the Saxaphone Trio, the Campus Quartet, and the Scrap Iron Four, provided the features. Fifty men made the 3000-mile trip in special Cars provided for the clubs.
