Show o Under the pleasant but firm direction of John Marlowe Nielson, the Men's Glee Club represented Utah to high school students throughout the southern part of the state. They also performed at one of the spring At Home programs. A tour and an At Home were also part of the schedule of the Women's Glee Club. Because they love music and enjoy singing, their one hour of credit is worth five hours of class plus many hours of rehearsals. In March, within the space of two weeks, the University suffered the loss of two of its most eminent faculty members - a loss more acutely and keenly felt by the University community because both were members of the same department. Professors William O. Peterson and Arthur P. Freber each devoted more than a quarter of a century in helping to build the Music Department to its present enviable position in the music world. As longtime director of the University Ladies Glee Club, Professor Peterson thrilled thousands of listeners throughout the inter-mountain region. Professor Freber, onetime conductor of the old Salt Lake Philharmonic Orchestra, brought an excellence of instrumental ensemble to the campus as director of the University Symphony. Students and faculty, alike, sorrow at their passing. The influence of their combined talents and personalities will ever continue to serve as an inspiration to all who are associated with the University in years to come. 258 |
