MUSICAL CLUBS TO BE BUSY

The University Musical Clubs will resume work in the fall, shortly after College re-opens. At this time trials for the three clubs will be held and regular rehearsals begun. The rule which was put into effect this year, requiring men in the Mandolin and Banjo Clubs to play two instruments, will remain in force, and exceptions will not be made barring the case of men of unusual ability.

All indications point to an unusually successful season next year. The schedule, as tentatively drawn up already includes, in addition to the annual dual concerts with Princeton at Princeton on November 5, and with Yale in Boston on November 19, trips to Providence, R. I., Fall River, Keene, N. H., and two trips to New York, as well as probable trips to Portland, Me., Albany, N. Y., and Montclair, N. J. There will also be a large concert and dance at the Copley Plaza Hotel in Boston, sometime during March, and a number of smaller concerts in the vicinity of Boston, including trips to Wellesley and the Rogers Hall School in Lowell. Owing to a regulation of the Student Council, there will be no extended trip during the Christmas holidays next year.

The plans for the Intercollegiate Glee Club Meet, to be held in Carnegie Hall, New York, on Saturday evening, February 26, have been practically completed. The principal change is the ruling that all the clubs shall sing the same serious song, which is to be chosen by the judges. This change was made because, with the choice left to the individual clubs, the songs were so varied in character that it was impossible to judge them accurately. In addition to this song, each club will sing a lighter selection, which must be submitted to the judges for acceptance before college opens in the fall and the third piece will consist of some college song, to be chosen by the leaders of the separate clubs.

This meet, which was inaugurated last year, is gradually growing more representative. In addition to the four colleges which competed this year, Harvard, Dartmouth, Columbia, and the University of Pennsylvania, several other colleges are planning to enter next year, especially Amherst and Brown, and perhaps Yale and Princeton.
