RICKS DONNELL MEDEARES CO. Everything in Men's wear 502 South Elm Street Greensboro, N. G MUSIC NOTES I sincerely beg the pardon of each and all my kind and patient readers for presenting a subject in the last issue which yielded dis cussion to the extent of two full columns. I was woefully asham ed upon seeing it: and a story which I had read last summer, of President Hadley, of Yale, lias since recurred to me. One day a visiting clergyman, who was to preach before the Yale students, turned and asked President Hail ley how long lie was expected to talk. "Of course, we put no limit upon you," replied President Had ley, "but we have a feeling here at Vale that no souls are saved after the first twenty minutes." Accepting lliis as applicable to myself, let me try to make amends by thinking my readers for their very kind interest in this column generally, and for their expressed interest in the subjects of Church Hymns and College Calls particu larly. The subject of Church Ili/niii* will be continued I hope, next week as promised. Chorus iixl (lice Club Contests. The thing that we would all enjoy in the musical world this coming week, will be the Intercollegiate (ilee Club meet in Carnegie Hall, New York City, on next Saturday evening. This will be the second annual Glee Club meet for Uni versities and Colleges. Last year Harvard was the victor. This year, Harvard, Columbia, Dart mouth and the University of Pennsylvania will compete. Each club will sing three selec tions and a trio of competent judges will award the prize, a sil ver trophy, to the singers showing the greatest ability. According to the rules laid down by the donors of the trophy it is to be competed for annually until one club has won it for three consecutive years, when it will become the perma nent property of that club. The judges selected for this year's contest include Dr. Horatio Parker, Director of Music in Vale University, and two other mu sicians, equally eminent. Aside from the selections to be rendered by each club, the pro gram includes the singing of the "Stein Song" by two hundred voices of the competing clubs. We shall speak of this again and name the selections of the winning club. Other musical contests are in process of preparation here and there throughout the States. For a chorus of 7(1 or more voices, the first prize is $250; and the contest song, He Watching Over Israel, from Mendelssohn's Elijah. For a chorus of 30 to 50 voices, first prize, $l5O. Contest song: The Lord is (treat, Mendelssohn. The Club Contest, first prize, SSO, Men's Contest Song, (Jood THE GUILFORDIAN bye, Sweetheart, Good-bye. Wom en's Contest Song, Stephanie Gav otte. The piano contests include Schuman's Carnival of Vienna, op. 2(5; the soprano solo contest includes A Sony of Sunshine, Gor ing-Tliomas; the contralto solo contest, Dudley Hack's Sunset (words by Sidney Lanier). The tenor solo contest, Were I a Prince Egyptian, by Geo. W. Chadwick; and the bass solo con test includes Arm, Ann Ye Brave, by Handel and The Two Grena diers, by Sellnman. These contests are something new in the musical world. It Re mains to be seen what their influ ence shall be. Imagine hearing the same song or piano solo play ed by a number of contestants, one after the other —would it not be a splendid lesson for us iu in dividual interpretations, methods of technique, delivery, etc.? .1. L. K. The meeting of the Literary Club of February 17 was devoted to the study of the first four books of Homer's Odyssey. This meet ing marks a change from the study of the Iliad to that of the Odyssey and while one does not meet here so many hand-to-hand combats nor quite so much fire and vehemence, it is evident from the interest evinced Wednesday night that the club has fascinating material for study this spring. Wilson Hobbs gave the setting of the first book. He showed how with the opening of Book I, Ulysses lias been detained by the sea nymph Colypso nearly all of the ten years since the fall of Troy, and how Penelope beset by suitors, doubts his return. Final ly he explained how Athene in her intercession and the gods in their council are still shaping the af fairs of mortals. Miss Aver next told of the coun cil of Ithaca, which Telemachus, vexed at the long delay of Pene lope's suitors and urged by Athene, had called for the pur pose of explaining to them his ground of complaint. Concluding the program, Miss Rhoads read a paper on the "Ad ventures of Telemachus." First, she gave interesting information, not found in the Odyssey, concern ing Telemachus' boyhood. She then took up the particular adven turers related in the first four books of the Odyssey, including Athene's visit to Telemachus, his calling of the assembly, his de parture by ship to Pylos and Sparta, and the plot of the suitors in Ithaca against him. Almost all the members of the club were present at this meeting and the wish was expressed that all the succeeding meetings may be as well attended.
