The Women's Glee Club, under the direction of Professor de Long, has gained for itself in the past three years a place of prominence on the campus through its enthusiastic membership and delightful annual chapel programs. Open without restriction this year to all who wished to join, the membership of the Glee Club became larger than ever before. Almost sixty-five members gathered each week for the hour of folk songs and opera choruses. The Glee Club gave its annual chapel concert on March 20 and repeated it on the following day for the regular Tuesday broadcast. Under the direction of Professor Philip Royer, the College Orchestra carried on one of the 1110stextensive and successful programs since its organization. On January 16,at the Monday assembly, the Orchestra was conducted through an entire program by members of the conducting class. The following day, the same program was presented over station WFMD. Later in the year the orchestra furnished the accompaniment to a concertized version of the opera "Martha" for the Eisteddford Music Festival. At the Annual Spring Concert on May 4, the Orchestra played the Cariolian Overture and the Second Symphony by Beethoven in its entirety.
