The joint concert tonight by the Glee Club and the University Orchestra marks a high point in the careers of these worthy Harvard musical organizations. Although this evening's concert may not include the most interesting selections of their large repertoires and although it may not turn out to be the most brilliant performance of the season, nevertheless the occasion should be a memorable one. It marks the 75th anniversary of the Glee Club and the 135th anniversary of the Orchestra, originally known as the Pierian Sodality of 1808, the oldest orchestra in the United States.
These two organizations, have weathered the storms of Harvard indifference nobly, until now, under the leadership of Dr. Davison, the Glee Club has won the title of "finest American College Glee Club" and the Orchestra can be compared favorably to any other organization of its kind. Harvard can well take pride in these two representatives of its culture.
