YEARS OF EFFORT
DEVELOP MADRlGAL
CLUB Al UNIVERSITY
Organization Is Outgrowth Of
CIee Club Idea; to Appear
hsr Friday Night

Twenty years Of effort have gone
into the work Of bringing the Madri-
gal club of the University Of North
Dakota to its present degree Of per-
lection, according to information re-
ceived in Bismarck Thursday.
The history of this outstanding mu-
steal organization is particularly in
teresting because of its appearance
here, scheduled for $3.50 p. m, Friday
night at the city auditorium.
During the early years at the uni
versity comparatively little attention
was given to music but about 20 years
ago both mems and women's glee
clubs were organized. These func-
toned separately until 1926 when the
clubs were combined into a chorus,
although most Of their work contin-
ued to be done separately.
The chorus met with popular ap-
prevail and the combined glee clubs
were more widely acclaimed than
either singing alone, with the result
that, last year, the separate glee club
plan was dropped and the mixed
group, known as the Madrigal club,
took its place. The total membership
Of the club for this year is 81 and of
these A will appear In the concert
here.
With the exception Of N song, all
Of the singing is done without accom-
PIANIST. The repertoire consists of 20
songs, all memorized and practiced
until the club became letter-perfect
in their rendition. The music Is ar
ranged for from four to eight voices
and represents almost all periods OF

Frank A. Leffingwell, Dallas, repre-
Senting the Terminal Grain company

suit pending against the commission,
asked leave to consolidate this action

He said the differences between

give advantages to the latter which
they do not now enjoy. Judge Wal

do you mean that Texas men want
this injunction and Kansas City men
do not?"
"Yes," replied Leffingwell.
Counsel for the government enter
ed an objection to consolidation of
the Texas case with that of the rail-
roads, and argued the Terminal Grain
company had no right to file a separ-
ate suit but should come into the rail-
