The   men's   glee
ehtb of Bucknell
University, which is scheduled to
appear here at the Baptist Church noxt
Wednesday evening at 8:15, will give
nine concerts in its four-day tour
through Western Pennslyvania during
the college Easter recess. A half-hour
broadcast over Station KDKA has been
arranged for Thursday afternoon.
The club consists of 40 men, directed
by Mclvin W. LeMon, of the Buclcncll
department of music.
This year tho glee club is singing an
unusually strong type of literature,
most of the numbers on tho program
having boon written for tho male chorus
rather than the usual transcription.
"Lochinvar," a setting of Scott's poem
by Hammond, is perhaps the most popular of theso numbers.
The club has been widely commended
for its finished stage deportment. It
includes in its personnel six outstanding
vocal soloists and threo instrumental
soloists,    including    the    pianist,    tho.
violinist, and tho organist, who is also
the director.
Ono of the most ardent supporters of
tho Bucknell glee club, which is scheduled to sing at Sowickley Baptist
Church on April 4th, is the president
of Bucknell, Dr. Homer Price Eainey,
himself a singer of note. Dr. Eainey
is widely known for his sponsorship of
tho liberal arts movement and this
year introduced at Bucknell an entirely
now curriculum in which tho arts arc
emphasized for the first two years, the
last two years of the collogo course,
being given over to specialization and
pre-professional courses.
In this new curriculum musie has
taken its place alongside tlio othor arts
and is offered as a regular part of tho
college course. The Bucknell men's
glee club reflects this renewed interest
in music and at tho same timo offers
an unusual opportunity for liberal and
creative musical culture of tho type
in which Bucknell will now specialize.
