Within the last month the Minnea polis Symphony orchestra has played in the following cities of the east and the middle west: Chicago, Fort Wayne, Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleve land, Pittsburg, Louisville, Buffalo, Washington and New York. Of the concerts in New York the critic of the New York Evening Post says: "A few years ago a New York critic would no more have expected to be called upon to comment upon a "concert given by an orchestra from Min neapolis than on one from Oregon or Alaska. The New York critics are for once united in praise.

The achievement of these musicians from Minneapolis is simply astounding. It is to be hoped that this orchestra will see its way clear to repeating its visit, not once but as often as possible. Only our very best organizations afford as much pleasure as Mr. Oberhoffer's last night, and they are not always." This great orchestra, precisely the one above referred to, will appear at the college auditorium Saturday, April 20. Are you going to let pass the chance to hear it?
