The University Glee Club has announced the choice of 27 undergraduate members who are to represent Harvard at the annual Intercollegiate contest held Saturday evening at Carnegie Hall, New York.
In past years the Club has made a good showing at these contests, winning the prize cup permanently in 1921 after three successive victories. A, leg on a second cup was won the next year, but an end was put to the long line of successes by the scoring of Dartmouth and Yale in the last two contests.
Each Club Sings Three Times
Fourteen colleges, including Princeton, Dartmouth, Yale, Penn State, and Columbia will take part this year. Each will give a rendition of the prise song, which is "Come Again, Sweet Love," by John Dowiand. In addition to the prise song each club will sing a piece of its own choice, and will end with its college song. Harvard has chosen "The Gypsy" of Zolotarieff, and "Up the Street" by R. G. Morse '96.
Judges of the contest are Arthur Bodansky, Conductor of the Metropolitan Orchestra. Kurt Schindler, Director of the Scola Cantorum; and Ralph Baldwin, Conductor of the Mendelssohn Glee Club of New York.
A trip to Europe is planned for an Intercollegiate Glee Club, to be formed from members of the competing clubs. Trials for individuals will be held Sunday morning in New York, and the 50 men chosen will have all travelling expenses paid on a tour through Europe, starting June 15 and returning in the middle of August. The trip will include stops in Spain, Italy, France, Switzerland and Scandinavia, and concerts will be given in many of the principal cities.
