A subordinate reason for making this change is the fact that the music at these services can be provided for. The loss of Dr. Faville from the University is a very serious one and so far no one has been found in the student body to take his place. By holding the services in the afternoon we can secure, as choir master, Mr. Remsburg, director of music at Christ Church. Mr. Remsburg is an accomplished musician and we feel sure will make a most efficient musical director.

Wilson was a member of the University Glee Club, which was then under the leadership of Duncan Emmet, now a famous physician of New York City. The [University of Virginia] Magazine contains several humorous descriptions of the reception accorded the Glee Clubbers on their serenading expeditions. A pert comment on the editorial page of one issue is typical of the many to be found in the files: "Painfully do we record the last unhappy adventure of the unhappy Glee Club. Most lamentable was their failure! Wrapped in sweet sleep the serenaded slumbered peacefully on, unconscious of the frantic efforts of the serenaders. We can only wish them better success next time." timeline: 1879 - 1881

The Glee Club's fiftieth anniversary in 1936 was celebrated in Cabell Hall with a program of university melodies, southern songs, and other compositions, under the leadership of Prof. Harry Rogers Pratt. This program was broadcast over a Virginia radio network, and the following week the club made a joint appearance in New York with the Barnard College Glee Club. A concert was given by the Virginia vocalists the next night at the Plaza Hotel, sponsored by the Virginians of New York in cooperation with the Southern Society. Other appearances in various cities followed. Some sixty singers, trained by Professor Pratt, participated. --pp. 162-63[1]
