ADJUNCTS OF A GREAT UNIVERSITY 95

 The University Glee Club was organized late in the fall
 of 1925 under the leadership of Prof. J. S. Bueno, who as-
 sumed these duties while an instructor in languages. There
 were about thirty-two members in the original club and they
 put in some hard and effective work during that year.
 Their concerts were begun next year and were received
with an enthusiasm that indicated that the University of Flor-
ida Glee Club had become an established success from the
start. Concerts were given in Gainesville, Ocala, Lakeland,
Tampa, Palatka, Jacksonville, Starke and Tallahassee.
 In October, 1926, Prof. DeBruyn took charge of the Club.

Ocala, Orlando, Lakeland, Bartow, Winter Haven, Bradenton,
St. Petersburg, Jacksonville, Live Oak, Lake City, Crescent

from Georgia and Alabama where concerts were given. He
was especially gratified that the Club could take trips out of
the state.
 "Dr. Murphree sent the Club in a bus to Jacksonville to
sing before the Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges
meeting in Jacksonville last fall. He seemed particularly
pleased with the numbers sung, and came around after the
meeting to compliment the boys with the expression 'It was
wonderful!'"

The University of Florida Band
 Those who understood Dr. Murphree's love of music, and
knew of the enjoyment he derived from playing in bands in
his student days, were not surprised when the University pres-
ident took an active interest in the formation of a band on the
Florida campus. This was about twelve years ago, and Dr.
Murphree was able to muster only a dozen or so boys who
could play musical instruments, but with the aid of several
