were elected and last night the first regular
rehearsal was directed by Professor Chase.
The membership this year promises to be
much larger. especially in the number of
male members. At the first rehearsal thirty
five young men were present, which is more
than were present at any meeting last
year. The one weak part in the rendering
of Hayden's Creation by the society last
year was the lack of balance due TO so few
male voices. The quality of voices i'm the
society is also much improved. Among the
new students are a number of sopranos
who have sung considerably before the
public and are capable of leading the more
difficult parts of the oratorios.
Introductory work was begun last night
on Haydens Imperial Mass" This, with
a few shorter selections, will make up the
programme for the final concert which will
be given at the close of the winter term.
Professor Chase, who directed the chorus
last year, will have charge again this year.
The other officers of the organization are:
President, Prof. E. p. Trueblood; secre-
tary-treasurer Jesse Phillips; librarian,
Nathan Davis; executive committee, Mary
