The University Glee Club gave its
first annual concert at the Framing
Friday night and delighted the large
audience with one of the most finished
and entertaining programs ever given
in Norman. The concert was entirely
by members of the club and under the
direction of its conductor, Prof
George Seymour Lenox of the depart
ment of music. The class of work
done by the club was a distinct sur
prise to all While the club is young
in the university, it is especially strong
having thirty members and being rat
ed by critics who have heard it the
best in the southwest. It is probable
that the success of the concert will
induce Dean Holmberg of the school
of fine arts to yield to the many re-
quests from over the state and permit
the club to make tour of the larger
cities under the auspices of the Uni
versity Extension Course bureau.
The management of the college pa

what extended list Of books given to
the public by members of the univer-
sity faculty. The latest volume is by
Professor Barrett of the department
of education, who has already pub

tory and pedagogy as well as more pop
ular works. "Mocco," the story Of an
Indians life from childhood to mans
estate, is his latest production. Critics
pronounce it of merit both as work
of fiction and as historical study and
predict for 1t healthy sale. Duffeld
q Co., of New York, are the publish
ers.

The incomplete Sooner football
schedule for next fall as announced
this week, includes games with nine
schools. 1t is as follows: Kingfisher
college at Norman; Oklahoma Chris
tian University at Norman North
eastern State Normal at Norman;
Texas University at Dallas; Missouri
University at Norman; Kansas Uni
versity at Lawrence; Oklahoma A. &
nj. Colleg at Norman and Colorado
University at Denver. The dates are
yet to be arranged. 1t is likely that
games will be scheduled with the
Texas "Aggies. and Washburn Col
lege and possible that Arkansas Uni
versity will be brought to Norman as
the second of the two big games to be
played at home. This schedule will
be even sitter than the difficult one
of last year and Coach Owen will have
his work cut out for him if he puts
over another all-victorious eleven.
