Origin of Fisk
Jubilee Singers
They Will Sing At
jordan Hall Jan. 81

In 1871, five years after Fisk
had opened its doors, the Uni
versity was in such dire straits
financially that it was feared the
School would. have to be closed.
There was little question but that
once closed it would not reopen,
and this, in the eyes of many.
was considered a tragedy.
Rev. George L. White, then
school treasurer and professor
of music, had long entertained
the idea of taking a group of
the students with outstanding
voices On a concert tour of the
North to raise funds. Though
the project was vetoed by the
Board Of Trustees, with borrow
ed money, the intrepid Mr.. White
and this gallant little group set
forth on Oct. 6 with scarcely
enough provisions to last beyond
the Ohio River.
Concerts paid barely enough
to take the Singers from one
town to another; the Singers
endured ridicule and heart rend-
ering misunderstanding. but
finally they reached Cincinnati
where they gave a concert that
melted them about $4,000. The
great Chicago Fire broke out
that very night, so the Singers
turned their much needed money
over to the Chicago Relief und
and travelled on. They finally
reached Columbus, Ohio, name
less, poorly clad, and often hun
CRY. There, after an anxious
sleepless night, Mr.. White de-
cided to name them the "Jubi-
lee Singers from the Biblical
reference to the Year of Jubilee
in the Book of Leviticus.
Soon the fortunes of the Sing
ers took a turn for the better.
They attracted the interest of
Henry Ward Beecher who pub
licly sponsored them. Gradually
they began to send sorely needed
money back to the school. They
sang at the World Peace Jubilee
in Boston and filed to capacity
dne Academy of Music in Phila-
delphia. They were invited to
sing at the White House in
washington. This first tour,
which lasted three months, es-
tablished the fame of the Jubilee
Singers and literally saved the
University. To the faith of Geo.
White and the courage of the
Singers, Fisk University is in
debted for its very existence.
Perhaps no other college in the
country owes such a debt to a
group of its own students. The
reputation established by the
first group Of Jubilee Singers is
being upheld by the group which
will sing at Jordan Hall on
Thursday, Jan. 81.
