Emory Glee Club
Appears at Queens
“South’s Sweetest Singers”
Give Performance February
17; Sponsored by Seniors
On Monday nigM, February 17, the
Glee Club , of Emory University,
Atlanta, Georgia will give a concert
in the Queens-Chicora auditorium.
The entertainment will be sponsored
by the Senior Class, and will be fol
lowed by a reception in llurwell Hall.
The Emory Glee Club was organ
ized on the campus of the old Emory
College in 1917, and since then its
history has been of steady progress,
the quality of the voices, the charac
ter of the choral work, the nature of
its programs improving witli each
succeeding concert season. The favor
with which it has been received by the
public has made it possible to extend
its annual tours, covering from one
to two weeks, over a wide range of
territory.
The club has ap]ieared widely
throughout this country and in 192G
it made its first European tour, to
establish itself more firmly in the
hearts of music-lovers of the South,
the club ill the last five years lias
toured tlie Southern states, and has
acquired the name of the “SoTith s
Sweetest Singers.'’ At the dedication
of Georgia Hall at Warm Springs,
Georgia, the club appeared before
President Franklin D. Roosevelt and
a group of notables.
The Emory CRee Club has set and
maintained for itself a high standard
of work and program. Classics of the
great masters have received the major
emphasis, but they by no means form
the extent of the organization s re
pertoire. From the beginning it has
featured the wide appealing negro
spirituals of the Old South. In the
words of the Atlanta Journal, “Ihe
versatility of the club is amazing, for
it sings with equal ease the difficult
choruses of AVagner or the lighter
refrains of A^ictor Herbert.”
Malcolm H. Dewey, head of the
Fine Arts Department of Emory Uni
versity is the capable and inspiring
leader of the club, and he has won
for himself, for the Glee Club, and
for the Little Symphony Orchestra
a place foremost in musical circles of
the South and nation.
Queens - Cliicora’s
Endowment Shows
Steady Increase
One of the strongest factors in ttie
development of Qiieens-Chieora is the
steady increase of the permanent en
dowment funds. Ten years ago the
college had practically no endowment.
Dr. Frazer lias been unremitting in
his efforts to build the institution on
a solid financial basis and one of the
outstanding achievements of his ad
ministration lias been the addition
of over $300,000 to its invested funds.
It would be difficult to measure tlie
value of these funds to the college
during the recent depression years.
When the income from other sources
was being rapidly cut down the yield
from the endowment spelled the dif
ference between a balanced budget
and a substantial deficit. It has been
a source of pride tliat no debt lias
been accumulated, but it is doubtful
if this could have been avoided witli-
out tills hack-le-g of permanent funds.
Tlie Soutlierii Association of Col
leges, in which Queens-Cliicora has a
very high rating, empliasi/.es endow
ment as one of the prime essentials
to membership in that organization.
They know, as all informed people
do, that higher education cannot be
self-supiKirting without excluding
many young men and young women
who should have its advantages. Ex-
jiensive equipment must he provided
and competent instructors must he
secured. Tliis cost would he pro
hibitive if the students were required
to pay it. Tlie State makes provi
sion for its colleges by taxation.
Other institutions, such as Queens-
Chicora, to which public funds are not
available, must bridge tlie gap be
tween student fees and operating
costs by voluntary contributions from
interested friends—usually alumnae

of Hearts Chosen
Program In Auditorium, Radio
Broadcast; Dulin Announces
Ivcist night at 8:30 the Freshmen
and Juniors were hostesses at a Val
entine party.
The first part of the program took
place in the auditorium. 'Tlie enter
tainment was based on the idea of a
radio program. Tlie stage was dec
orated with a huge heart, and the
announcer, Imcille Dulin dressed
like eu})kk broadcasted from station
L-O-V-E. By different doors in the
heart, the performers entered.
One of the main features was the
singing of Margaret Trohaugh, Jean
Carter, and Miriam Dodd Little as
the (Queen's trio. Another attractive
feature was the minuet danced as it
had been in old America. Besides
the American minuet, French, S])an-
ish, African, Italian, and Dutch
dances were interjireted. 'The French
dance was a solo by Margaret Land.
Following the Grand Finale, the
guests went to the dining hall that
was beautifully decorated with con
ventional Valentine colors.
Games were played and fortunes
printed on hearts were distributed.
The big moment of the ])arty came
with the election of a queen for the
evening. From tlie eight girls nomi
nated in chapel Wednesday morning,
tlie queen was chosen, and she chose
a king to be crowned with lier.
(Owing to the date the paper goes
to press, it is imjiossible to give out
the names of the king and queen).
