Mr. Shumway talked at each class
briefly on Community Singing, tell-ing
of its value and coming import-ance.
He quoted from well known
men, such as Harold McCormack,
president of the Chicago Grand
Opera Co., and Henry Judson, presi-dent
of the University of Chicago, as
to the important part that commun-ity
singing is coming to play in vari-ous
activities.
The organization with which Mr.
Shumway is connected began its
work during the world war and so
kept up during the entire election.
The other officers were voted on
with just as much care and concern
as was the president. The president-elect
is fortunate in having such a
splendid staff of co-workers as the
