GLEE CLUB WINS HONORABLE MENTION

On February 26, the Glee Club led by R. W. Elsasser '21, won honorable mention in the Intercollegiate Glee Club Contest held at Town Hall, New York, under the auspices of the University Glee Club of New York city. The point system of judging gave the first prize, a silver challenge cup, to Harvard. So marked a degree of enthusiasm and musical virility was exhibited by the Dartmouth Club that it was heralded as the popular favorite, as evidenced by the ovation. According to the New York American — " . . . from the point of view of general excellence the decision was a just one, although the boys from Dartmouth produced a finer body of tone and really gave a broader and more dignified rendering of the prize song" — ("My Love," by Horatio Parker). Professor Leonard B. McWhood is responsible for the showing the club made, and the members are unstinted in his praise. The judges were: Nelson P. Coffin, conductor of the Mendelssohn Glee Club; Kurt Schindler, composer, and conductor of Schola Cantorum; Victor Harris, conductor of St. Cecilia Society. The other competing colleges were: Princeton, Pennsylvania, Columbia, Amherst, New York University, and Penn State.
