The choir, composed of fifty voices under the direction of Professor C. L. Rowland has come to be recognized for its skill and power in interpreting the spiritual beauty of the world's finest religious music. During the year the choir rendered thirty eight conf certs, and made six broadcasts. The choir's signature number, Cast Thy Burden Upon the Lord from Mendelssohn' Elijah and the processional hymn, Fairest Lord Jesus were part of a program in which there were represented works ranging from the sixteenth century compositions of Palestrina to the latest arrangef ments of spirituals by Nathaniel Dett and Noble Cain. Among other composers represented in this years prof gram were Bachf Handel, Beethoven, Bartnyanski, Ippolitofflvanof, Hunperdinck, Christiansen, and Born' schein.
