The University Chorus

     Starting with a membership of thirty-five, the University Chorus, with Mrs. Raymond as director, now has an enrollment of nearly two hundred. It is one of the first cultural institutions of the university and its increasing membership speaks for the growing interest among our students in this form of higher education. The chorus is made up of students who sing because they love to sing and one feels this, whenever they give a program. They sing the best of music and prefer that kind. Every year some oratorio and at least one opera are carefully studied. Next year Mrs. Raymond plans to take up folk songs of different nations as a serious study of this kind of music.

      A new and interesting feature is the large men's chorus which meets Monday evenings. It has been suggested that this division he organized into a Maennerchor or an Apollo Club.

      The University Chorus helps make the May festival possible. It gives one concert, and usually sings at one performance with the festival orchestra. Last year Il Trovatore was presented. This year Cavaleria Rusticana is planned with the leading parts taken by two well known opera singers, Miss Le Baron and Mr. Wheatley.

      Last year the director of the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra complimented the chorus very highly for its excellent singing. This year the Walter Damrosh Orchestra of New York City has been engaged for the May festival. The chorus justly feels that it is directly and indirectly supporting the best interests of the university.
