THE EDGAR STILLMAN- KELLEY CLUB T the beginning of the new school year several of the men students of the Conservatory de- cided to form a new musical club at the insti- tution. They felt the need of a male organization which should have for its purpose the advancement of each of its members along the line of his particu- lar musical endeavors and also the promotion of a greater spirit of co-operation among the Conserva- tory boys. The young men are so hopelessly 'out- numbered by the young ladies of the school, that some may also have felt that in union there might be strength to combat the wiles of the fair sex. However, be that as it may, nine young men banded together and made themselves the charter members of a club which had a very definite pur- pose, but no name. Now we hoped that in the future our club might expand, and become the very best male music club in America We desired to find a name which, at every step of our progress, would further enkindle our enthusiasm in advancing ideals. Robert Powell suggested the name of Edgar Still- man-Kelley Club . Dr. Kelley at once showed an interest in our organization, and graciously gave us permission to use his name. Several meetings fol- lowed; they were held at Miss Baurts home, and on each occasion a musical program was rendered. Our membership had increased to twenty-five in three monthst time, and on December 13th, 1924, Dr. and Mrs. Kelley were our guests at a musicale. One of the most enjoyable features of the program was the Edgar Stillman-Kelley Quartette. At present we have thirty-five members, and we feel greatly en- couraged. We are one of the few male organiza- tions belonging to the American Federation of Music Clubs. Page 121
