At present plans for the annual concert of the Sodality, given on May 1, are being made, and it has been decided that "The Unfinished Symphony" of Schubert which was given with such success at the mid-year concert will be repeated. Brahms' "Tragic Overture" and Caesar Franck's "Les Djinns" will also be on the program. Two shorter compositions by University men, conducted by the composers, will also be played. Plans for a dinner during May are also under way, but these events...
