From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Glee Club's fiftieth anniversary in 1936 was celebrated in Cabell Hall with a program of university melodies, southern songs, and other compositions, under the leadership of Prof. Harry Rogers Pratt. This program was broadcast over a Virginia radio network, and the following week the club made a joint appearance in New York with the Barnard College Glee Club. A concert was given by the Virginia vocalists the next night at the Plaza Hotel, sponsored by the Virginians of New York in cooperation with the Southern Society. Other appearances in various cities followed. Some sixty singers, trained by Professor Pratt, participated. --pp. 162-63[1]
