That the University of Michigan
Glee and Mandolin clubs, which APP
pear at the Harnois theater in this
city on April 5, are on a high plane
of excellency is amply proved by the
fact that the entire aggregation was
given a trip to the Pacific coast last

collegians, at points along the road
designated by the roads management,
and in return all expenses of the long
trip We're borne by the Santa Fe.
The tour was one which the college
men will not soon forget, and which
will probably live even longer in the
minds of the western people who en-
joyed to the limit the songs, instru-
mental music and antics of the Mich
igan men.
The entire performance, as present.
ed on last winters western trip, with
