PIERIAN SODALITY GIVES SEASON'S FIRST CONCERT

The Pierian Sodality of 1808, the University orchestra, will open its 118th season with a concert at the Copley Theatre this afternoon at 3.30 o'clock. For a number of years the concert at the Copley has been one of the chief annual activities of the organization.

The Pierian Sodality Orchestra is the oldest institution of its kind in America. Its purpose is to bring the best in contemporary music before the American people. Already several modern compositions have been used, but selections from Mozart, Mendelssohn, Shubert, and Beethaven still predominate.
