The Choral Society was responsible for the financial end of the College Music and High School Lecture Course. For "the reasonable sum" of $2 Bluffton heard two fine lectures and six musical numbers including a performance by the then-world famous woman pianist Ethel Leginska, and the Tollefsen Trio.
