3Mendelssohn Glee Club was founded during the season of 1865-66 in New York City, formally organized May 21, 1867, and incorporated Oct. 21, 1876, for the cultivation of music and social enjoyment, and has made a specialty of unaccompanied part-songs. The trustees named in the articles of incorporation were: Townsend Cox, Thomas E. Hardenbergh, Charles H. Scott, Horace Howland, and Frederick Wiebusch. The membership consisted of Active, Associate, and Retired members. The first class, composed for the most part of amateur musicians, took part in the concerts and controlled the business of the club. Additional classes of life and honorary members were of later creation. Active members were chosen after an examination in music. They might become associate members after five years' service as singers, or retired, after having sung ten or more years. The club occupied a well appointed house in 40th street, and a hall which in 1909 and for many years previous was the scene of the principal recitals and chamber concerts of the metropolis. The first musical directors were Messrs. Schrimpf and Albites. In 1867 Joseph MOSENTHAL was elected to that office and served until 1896, when he died suddenly in the clubhouse. Born in Cassel, he had been a violin pupil of Spohr, and later became a church musician. Arthur Woodruff, an active member, served as conductor for the remainder of the season, and the late EDWARD A. MACDOWELL was his successor. Mr. MacDowell composed some of his best songs for this organization. On his retirement, May, 1898, ARTHUR MEES became conductor, retiring in 1904 in favor of FRANK DAMROSCH, who was conductor in 1908. Mosenthal, R. L. Herman, and W. W. Gilchrist are among the composers who have written for this club. In August, 1909, Clarence Dickinson, then of Chicago, was chosen conductor.
