Glee Club 1897-1898 (Corks
The 1897-1898 season of the Virginia Glee Club, operating as the University of Virginia Glee and Mandolin Clubs, was conducted by George Latham Fletcher, a student. The Glee Club numbered 21 singers. Officers included John Lawrence Vick Bonney, president; Elbert Lee Trinkle, manager; and Douglass McCormick, assistant manager.[1]
During the season, the Glee Club planned a tour that would take them to Alexandria, Virginia, as well as out of state destinations,[2] but the Alexandria concert, at least, was cancelled days before it was scheduled to occur.[3]
