MUSICAL CORPORATION PUBLISHES CLUB RECORDS
Contrary to the practice of former years, the Intercollegiate Musical Corporation sent this year to all the colleges the complete score of the judges for the intercollegiate sing March 3. The reason for this as given by the president of the corporation is "Because we feel sure that there is no reason why full information should not be given out in this contest in exactly the same manner as is done in other contests. The following points may be noted:
1 — The competition was much closer than in former years, as the winning club received 90 per cent and the lowest was 77 per cent. The first three clubs in order were: Dartmouth 90 per cent, Princeton 88 per cent, and Yale 87 per cent.
2 — With regard to the light song, Princeton led with 91 per cent, Dartmouth came second with 90 per cent, and Wisconsin third with 87 per cent.
3 — As to the prize song, Dartmouth led with 88 per cent, followed by Harvard and Princeton, both having 84 per cent.
4 — With regard to the college song, Yale and Wesleyan tied for first place with 100 per cent each.
5— There were some interesting agreements and disagreements among the judges. In the following, Dr. Damrosch, Mme. Sembrich and Mr. Krehbiel will be referred to by the following letters D,S, and K, respectively.
On Dartmouth's score for the light song there was practical agreement among the judges, the rating being as follows: K87, 593, D90. On Princeton's score there was radical disagreement, K77, 597, D100. Incidentally, this divergence of 23 per cent is 10 per cent more than the difference in the total ratings between the first and last clubs in the competition.
On Dartmouth's score for the prize song we find D92, 594, K78. On Harvard's score D92, S84, K76. As for Princeton's score, D84, S84, K84. It may be noted that on the prize song Mr. Krehbiel differed radically from the other judges, rating Princeton and Amherst tied for first with 84 per cent each, whereas Dr. Damrosch rated Dartmouth and Harvard for first with 94 per cent, and Mme. Sembrich gave Dartmouth alone first with 94 per cent. On college songs there was substantial agreement among the judges with respect to all the colleges.
