prises. 1t is through this friendship
that Professor Bergquist was able to
persuade the accomplished violinist
to accompany the chorus on its tour
this season.
Professor Bergquist has put forth
especial efforts this year to add to
the already high efficiency of the cho-
rus. Those who have heard the cho-
rus this year have seen a marked i'm
provement over that of last year.
Professor Bergquist's wide knowledge
of musical compositions has enabled
him to chose selections peculiarly
fitted to the chorus and at the same
time which possess musical quality
adapted to the audiences who will
hear them. One of the selections
which the chorus will sing this year
is Toner" composed by Professor
Bergquist.
