With the Glee Club

THE DARTMOUTH COLLEGE Glee Club, under the direction of Prof. Donald E. Cobleigh '23, will present its annual Commencement Concert in Webster Hall on the evening of June 18. The program will be aimed directly at the Dartmouth alumni present, for a large number of the songs will be those of the campus.

However, in order to inject the note of solemnity and feeling fitting to the occasion, several selections by such composers as Bach, Brahms, and Cesar Franck will be rendered.

The concert will be a climax to one of the most successful seasons the Glee Club has enjoyed since its inception. Received everywhere with enthusiasm and marked hospitality, the Club has creditably held its own reputation, and that of the College, by giving performances of a nature that inspired newspapers to hail it as"one of the best college Glee Clubs in the East." From Maine to Maryland, as the Club fulfilled its wide itinerary, it drew the same praise and hearty applause.

While this success is but a reflection of the Club's quality and an indication of its widespread popularity, nevertheless a word must be said in behalf of the original and highly entertaining programs presented. Whereas many vocal groups make it a habit to burden their listeners with songs of the old folk-type, the Dartmouth College Glee Club, motivated by both a feeling of compassion for its audiences and an excellent sense of what is most appropriate in the way of group singing, invariably offers a highly diversified program with the intent to amuse and entertain as well as elevate.

For instance, in Stamford, Baltimore, and Montclair, where the Club met with extraordinary receptions and gratifying financial success, in accordance with Professor Cobleigh's policy of easy informality an invitation was extended to all alumni in the respective audiences to join the Club on the stage in the singing of campus songs. And, it must be said, these renditions were made even more than ordinarily pleasurable by the enthusiastic cooperation of the "Old Grads," who had not forgotten the songs to which they had grown so close in college days.

From the cheery booming of "Eleazar Wheelock" to the last strains of the Alma Mater, with all its nostalgic associations, the alumni did a fine job, covering themselves with glory and applause—for their audiences enjoyed the fun as much as they.
