for the washington Cooperative Con-
cert Course, which was Cancelled just
previous to the concert scheduled for
January Z, when the Philadelphia
Simfonietta was to have appeared here.
Dr. Harold M. Dudley, director of
these events, has called the meeting in
order to acquaint the patrons of the
course with the causes of the cancella-
ton, and to consider ways and means
looking toward q number Of substitute
concerts to I'LL out the season. The
question of possible refunds also will be
discussed
DR.. Dudley announces that the va
rious local organizations which bene-
fitted financially from the Midsummer
benefits and advance sale of season
tickets did not act in any way as spon-
Course, but simply received a welfare
percentage from their own sales of
tickets.
Those persons who may not be able
to attend the meeting Tuesday. which
will be held in one of the rooms of the
auditorium, are asked to write to DR..
H. M. Dudley, 1910 Connecticut avenue,

ing the various organizations on the
telephone.
DR.. Dudley stated definitely yesterday
that he assumed the full responsibility,
entirely absolving any and all local or
