UNIVERSITY HOLDS DANTE CELEBRATION IN SANDERS THEATRE

MEMBERS OF GLEE CLUB WILL SING TWO SELECTIONS

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The six hundredth anniversary of the death of Dante will be commemorated at the University by a celebration in Sanders Theatre at five o'clock this afternoon. The meeting will be open to the public, no tickets being required for admission.

President Lowell will preside at the celebration, and Professor C. H. Grandgent '83 will give the address. It is expected that members of the Dante Society will attend, and the front row will be reserved for them. Members of the Circolo Italiano will act as the ushers.

About thirty-five members of the University Glee Club who made the trip to Europe last summer, will sing two of the selections which they sang at Dante's tomb at Ravenna. These pieces will be "Adoramus Te", by Palestrina, and "Mirerere" by Allegri. Dr. A. T. Davison '06 will lead the club.

Professor Grandgent, Professor of Romance Languages at the University, and one of the foremost authorities on the works of Dante, will give a discriminating discussion of Dante's philisophy. Earlier in the month he spoke at the National Dante Celebration in Washington, at which Secretary of State Charles Evans Hughes presided. Professor Grandgent is president of the Dante Society of America.
