1The Intercollegiate Song Book
2The Intercollegiate Song Book, which contains the official alma mater and principal football songs of over one hundred of the foremost American universities, will be ready for distribution in February, according to the announcement just issued by the editor-in-chief and publisher, Thornton W. Allen, 437 Fifth Avenue, New York. The new volume is the most complete and up-to-date collection of college songs ever published and contains the most popular of college song hits. The first edition is to be a very limited one and offered first to the students and alumni of the universities at a specially reduced price. The book will contain close to 300 pages, handsomely bound in cloth, and included in the first edition will be the names of the members of the Editorial Board, Advisory Committee, and others who have cooperated in its compilation. The Intercollegiate Song Book has the official endorsement of the universities.
4The Editorial Board is composed of the following: Charles Mills Gayley, Dean of English Literature, University of California and formerly of the University of Michigan (chairman); Marshall Bartholomew, director of music at Yale University and conductor of the University Glee Club of New York; Earle G. Killeen, professor of music at the University of Minnesota; Thomas A. Larremore, director of the glee clubs at the University of Kansas and president of the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Glee Club organization; Dr. Charles H. Mills, director of music at the University of Wisconsin; Harry O. Osgood, chairman of judges of the 1926 Intercollegiate Glee Club national contest; Frank Patterson (University of Pennsylvania), associate editor of the MUSICAL COURIER; Carl F. Price (Wesleyan University), president of the National Hymn Society; Charles F. Rogers, director of music at the University of Arizona; Dr. Alexander Russell, director of music at Princeton University and director of music at the Wanamaker stores in Philadelphia and New York, and Paul J. Weaver, director of music at the University of North Carolina.
6The Advisory Committee is composed of over one hundred official representatives of the various universities, among them college presidents, deans and heads of music departments. The chairman of this committee is Albert Francis Pickernell of Harvard, president of the Intercollegiate Musical Corporation which sponsors the annual intercollegiate glee club contests participated in by universities from all parts of the country. Robert Lay Hallock, of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is chairman of the Executive Committee. Archie M. Palmer, of Cornell and Columbia universities, is chairman of the Publicity Committee.
8Among the universities represented in the first edition of the Intercollegiate Song Book are the following: Alabama, Amherst, Annapolis, Arizona, Bates, Brown, Bryn Mawr, Bucknell, California, Chicago, Carnegie Tech, City College (N. Y.), Colgate, Colorado College, Colorado University, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Davidson, Dickinson, Drake, Florida, Fordham, George Washington, Georgetown, Georgia Tech, Gettysburg, Goucher, Hamilton, Harvard, Heidelberg, Holy Cross, Illinois, Iowa State, Kansas, Kentucky, Lafayette, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts Tech, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New York University, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Northwestern, Notre Dame, Oberlin, Ohio State, Ohio Wesleyan, Oklahoma, Oregon, Penn. State, U. of Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh, Princeton, Roanoke, Rutgers, South Carolina, Smith, Stanford, Swarthmore, Sweet Briar, Syracuse, Tennessee, Texas, Texas C. U., Tulane, Ursinus, Vassar, Virginia, Wabash, Washington and Lee, Washington State, U. of Washington, Wesleyan University, Western Reserve, West Point, West Virginia, Williams, Wisconsin, Wittenberg, Wyoming and Yale.
10In addition to this most important list a great many other universities are also cooperating in the compiling of the new book, but because of the inability of the colleges or the publisher to reach the owners of copyrights some of the songs had to be held over for a later edition.
12It is announced that the demand for the new volume has been so great that double the original quantity is being printed.
14Baldini and Tremaine in New Offices
15Baldini and Tremaine announce the removal of their offices from Steinway Building to the new Aeolian Building. The list of artists under this management includes Frieda Hempel, soprano; Myra Mortimer, contralto; Bruce Benjamin, tenor; Carolyn Beebe, Nadia Reisenberg and Paul Roes, pianists; Ilse Niemack, violinist, and the New York Chamber Music Society.
17College of Mount Saint Vincent Choir to Sing
18An extraordinary artistic solemn high Mass will be sung at St. Vincent Ferrer's Church, Lexington Avenue at 66th Street, on Sunday, January 9, when the full choir of over four-hundred girls will participate, together with a double quartet of male soloists and a large boys' choir. Prof. Constantino Yon, who is the organist and choir-master of the church, and well known in the musical world for his many achievements in different artistic lines, but particularly in bringing the music of St. Vincent Ferrer's to a very high standard, will conduct and play the organ. Prof. Yon is the director of music at the College of Mount Saint Vincent.
20The Mass rendered on this occasion will be by L. Refice. This Mass won the competition a few years ago as an exemplary Mass, where the congregation sings alternately with the choir, according to the wishes of Pope Pius X in his Motu Proprio. No other churches in New York have performed this Mass before. The college girls will sing the special congregational part while the choir of the church, which includes many distinguished soloists of international reputation, will sing the harmonized part. A few parts of the Mass will be from Missa Brevis of Montani, editor of the Catholic Choirmaster.
22Another feature of interest at the Church of St. Vincent Ferrer is the new great Balbiani organ which was installed only a few months ago, and which was built in Milan, Italy. This organ is one of the largest in the world, with the most beautiful and artistic tone quality.
24The interesting program for this occasion will include Christmas Carols; Processional, Traditional; Kyrie, Gloria and Agnus Dei, from Missa Brevis of Montani; Credo, Gregorian; Sanctus, Benedictus from Missa Choralis Monsignor Rechi, and Recessional.
26M. T. N. A. CONVENTION
27(Continued from page 5)
28that musical education can be adequate education only as it gives very great concern to the development of intelligence. A musician cannot sing or play a composition intelligently unless he understands intelligently why the composer did what he did. He must have not simply a technic that can get away with the notes, but a knowledge of what the composer is about. For this reason the education of the musical student in theory and harmony must go beyond the A B C's."
30The Sinfonia Fraternity members heard addresses by many well known musicians and devoted one day to an inspection of the Eastman School of Music, which they declared to be the finest institution of its kind.
32One of the pleasantest features of the week was the annual banquet at the Hotel Sagamore on Wednesday evening, very largely attended. Another which met with special approbation of all those present was the performance on Tuesday evening, at Kilbourn Hall, of the one-act opera by Charles W. Cadman, The Sunset Trail, given admirably by the Rochester Opera Company with Dr. Hanson conducting and Vladimir Rosing as producer.

72Arthur Hackett-Granville a Popular Tenor
73Although a general announcement was made as late as August that Arthur Hackett-Granville had returned to America and would be available for the entire season, requests for this popular tenor began to come into the office of his manager, Calvin M. Franklin, even though the major portion of bookings for this season had then been completed.
75Mr. Hackett-Granville recently concluded his twelfth engagement of the season on the Pacific Coast, where he was heard in a special Messiah performance with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, under Alfred Hertz, and combined choruses of San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose. The other artists were Lorna Lachmund, soprano; Kathryn Meisle, contralto, and Fred Patton, baritone.
77Mr. Hackett-Granville was heard in the Atwater-Kent Radio Hour on December 26 in a group of songs and also with the Wolfsohn Concert Quartet, consisting in addition to the tenor, of Betsy Lane Shepherd, soprano; Elsie Baker, contralto, and William Simmons, baritone. The Wolfsohn Concert Quartet is managed by the Wolfsohn Musical Bureau, Inc., and nine engagements already have been closed for them.
79Recent concert appearances secured for Arthur Hackett-Granville include Philadelphia, Pa.; Louisville, Ky.; Cincinnati, Ohio; Brooklyn, N. Y., and Springfield, Mass.
