Vanderbilt Glee Club.

The follywing clippings from Mobile,
Ala, papers, are samples of the anthu-
.siastic praise which has been accorded
the Vanderbilt Glee Club everywhere
they have appeared this season. That
those who anticipate genuine treat in
the concert Of the Glee Club here next
Wednesday will not be disappointed is
shown by these clippings:
The Mobile Times says, in part:
The usual program Of college songs
and sketches were rendered. The us
ual program, however, is always pleas
ing when used in reference to the good
old college songs and, as sung by the
Vanderbilt boys last night, they we're
all well rendered and enthusiastically
encored.
The best individual numbers we're
the solos Of Mr.. Meeks, Mr.. McGarvey,
Mr.. Howell, Mr.. Lander and Mr.. Ben
ME, while perhaps the most popular
feature OF the evening was the work Of
the quartette composed OF Mr.. Meeks,
Mr.. Morgan Mr. Clemmons and Mr..
Lawson. These young men all have
splendid voices and can certainly 'har-
monte some. The best Individual
voice Of the entire company. though. IS
that OF Mr. Meeks, who sang several
solos and also appeared in the quar-
tette. He has tenor voice Of remark
able range and q genuine sweetness
and with the proper training be has q
bright future in the musical world.
The choruses Of the club we're
splendidly executed and reflect the
careful training Of the directors Of the
organization"

Fred. Farrow.

The following complimentary notice
is taken from The Mirror, publication
of Birmingham. Ala;
On Thursday night, January 50, the
music students Of the High School gave
minstrel and an operetta under the
auspices OF the Euterpean Club. The
second part OF the program was the
operetta, ION Plymouth Rock. /" The
music, written by Jessie Gaynor, was
very attractive and we'll suited to the
old story of Priscilla and John Alden.
The cast of characters was very good
indeed. Fred Farrow was typical
John Alden, and even rivaled the origi-
nal. Flora Jones, as Priscilla the Pur-
itan maid, was charming, while Henry
Hamilton, as Miles Standish, was the
bluff energetic Puritan Indian fighter,
but timid lover. Bruce Snider filed
the post OF Governor Winslow perfectly.
The dignity and austerity OF the old
governor was portrayed particularly
we'll. Dame Goodly was interpreted
by Evalina Wilkerson with all her us
ual freshness and charm. The cho-
ruses of hunting boys, Puritan maids,
soldiers, DANES. elders and Indians
we're all that could be wished for. The
whole play was the most interesting
and charming given here for a long
time. The directors were Misses Leta
Kits, Edna Moore and Marguerite
Weaver.

Educational Conference.

Educational Conference.
The Conference for Education in the
South, one Of the most important
agencies in the upbuiIding OF this sec
ton. will hold its fifteenth annual ses-
sion in Nashville, Tenn, April 8. and
5, 1912. In this conference, leading
educators, statesmen. editors. lawyers,
physicians. preachers. manufacturers,
philosophical and thoughtful men and
women OF alR professions and fro d all
walks OF life, meet to discuss in broad,
practical, non-technical way, the funda-
mental problems Of education and life
in their application to conditions in the
Southern States.
The Conference is not teachers as
ISOLATION for the discussion of the
technique OF the schoolroom, nor is it
mere business or industrial conference.
1t is coming together OF the repre-
sentatives OF all classes who have at
heart the welfare OF the country, and
who believe the largest factor q the pro-
duction Of this welfare is the right edu-
cation OF all the people for the duties
and responsibilities of industrial, civic,
social and religious life-of those who
believe the only help for individual and
community is that which leads to ade-
quate self-help. In this respect the
Conference is unique. Its only creed
Is the unlimited possibilities OF man; its
only purpose the development Of the
South as part Of the nation.
The Conferences have aimed at in
terchange Of thought rather than at
definite decision. " 1T holds its place, !"
said the president Of the Conference, in
his annual address at Atlanta, AS a
part OF an educational renaissance. "
