THE M. A. C. CHORUS. T he chorus now numbers 90 voices, under the direction of Miss Freyhofer, has been and is doing ex cellent work this year. Partly due to the fact that credits are given for chorus work as for other college work, this year, there has been a larger and more regular attendance than usual and good re hearsals have always been possible. In J a n u a ry the chorus gave a very concert in later repeated in the successful Folk-Song college A r m o ry and it in the Presbyterian church Lansing under the auspices of Westminster Guild. that time Since working on now rapidly putting on the touches. they have been the cantatas and are finishing It is the aim of the chorus and its directors to render good and yet attractive music with true interpre- ta'ion, and to engage the best solo ists we can afford. its T he chorus is an organization of friends which the College and to feel proud, have every reason the college commu and no one in nity should fail to give it the sup port ir needs and deserves. T h e re is no doubt that all w ho attend will feel repaid and enjoy the concert greatly. PRESS NOTICES.
