1931 Edition
Of Glee Club
Begins Tour
Will Visit Dublin, Statesboro,
Savannah, Brunswick and
North Georgia Cities
The 1931 edition of the Univer
sity of Georgia Glee club left Wed
nesday on its annual spring tour.
Each year since 1910 the Glee club
has visited from five to fifteen cities
in Georgia, and occasionally neigh
boring states.
The club this year is again under
the direction of Professor Hugh L.
Hodgson, head of the department of
music at the university, and one of
the outstanding musicians of the
South. After graduating from Geor
gia in 1913, Professor Hodgson stud
ied in Europe, under some of the
most famous masters of the piano
and organ.
Modernized
Concerning the 1931 club, its di
rector said: “The organization this
year Is a completely modernized
thing, designed in content and pre
sentation to be representative of the
fast-moving age in which we are liv
ing.
All the action of the production
takes place as though It were com
ing from the broadcasting studio of
radio station UGA, of the University
of Georgia. Elaborate mechanical
and electrical devices heighten the
illusion and add flavor to the per
formance, it is said. The setting, 1n
the modernistic mode, was designed
and executed by the students in the
department of landscape architec
ture at the Georgia State College of
Agriculture.

New Alma Mater compositions,
demanded by certain factions of the
Alumni society, must be sent to Dr.
Frank K. Boland, 26 2 Peachtree cir

cently.

will be selected by the committee
and will be broadcast over radio,
giving every student and alumnus
a chance to vote on Georgia’s future
Alma Mater.
Too Popular
"The agitation concerning a new
Alma Mater,” according to the
Alumni Record, “is not to be taken
as a reflection on the present Alma
Mater, written by Janies B. Wright,
of the class of 1913. The only ob
jection is that it is being sung by
schools’and colleges throughout the
country.”
The present song will be retained,
should no better one be found, the
committee says, and it is possible
that a new tune will be found to fit
Wright’s words.

A trophy probably will be given
to the student, alumnus, or Georgian
who writes the accepted one, the
committee states.
