enough now to have fine alumni. and it is always a great pleasure to meet these former warblers. Some of them are men of family, and I am expecting almost any time now to have the son or daughter of an old Glee club man appear in college. Birmingham has more Glee club alumni than any city, not only on ac- count of It's size. but the high school in Birmingham makes so much of music that we get students at the university already partly prepared for the Glee club. l could not tell you how many Euterpean club members 1 have had in the Glee club
 "Speaking of the music work in the Birmingham schools I find that each year makes 1t little easier for the Glee club to secure good voices, for boys no longer consider 1t sissy thing to sing in school, and they are familiar with chorus and com munity singing before they come te college. The general interest in music exhibited all over the country in the past few years Is beginning tc be reflected in the younger genera. ton. and there are at the university this year a goodly number of stu dents who can sing and play many instruments. do not know when wt have had as many pianists. and IT addition there are numerous sax. ophone players, violinists. cornetists banjoists and mandolinists."

 This years Giee club, believe, boasts of one of the very best person neis that We have ever had numbers of excellent voices, and the quartet composed of Robert A. Berry, first tenor; Vernon Fitz, second tenor; Knox Ide, first basso, and Mac For ney, second basso. form as clever a quartet as we've ever had.
 "One of the attractive innovations that we are introducing this season. and which other college glee clubs have used tbu. we never have), Is a musical sketch. 1t was written by Preston H. Well. accompanist for the club, and is entitled, Alas the Gas and three of our boys take feminine
 parts. They are the real Tetrazzini effects, too. 1 can tell you-tempera- mental and very musical. Getting
 these boys harnessed up In ftninine
 togs is our one best bet, and believe
 me, it's some bet. The roles they sing are not burlesques. only. of course, the comedy role Is full of fun. but the ladies roll their own and take advantage of every gap in the applause and display their hos
 iery, and effect a lot of feminine
 wiles that make the sketch very amusing.

 Where Warrior rolls in tranquil stream,
 Softly murmuring as in dream. The shades of thy walls Oh U. of A. Have kissed those waters many day. And now they sing this echo song. Full from the hearts of thy students strong

 We've fought life's fight that whole way long. When laurels crown our chestnut brow,
 Will we love thee then as we do now?
 A thousand voices ring out ayes We'll love thee more in our winter days,
 And all the fame that time will bring. Greater praise to thee we'll sing. Oh, rus Then here's to thy cclors of crimson white
