Here's the finale of the Glee Club's May 1950 concert, The Battle Hymn of the Republic.
The Glee Club in the 1950s was known throughout the state for their concerts. Led by Professor Sam Moyer, the group made frequent visits to churches and concert halls in South Carolina.
Wofford's Glee Club concert in May 1950 featured the group's rendition of the college alma mater. The concert was recorded on an old open-reel recorder, and the tapes preserved in the archives ever since. This year, I've been trying to digitize these old recordings, because they won't last forever on tape.
Thanks to webmaster Kyle James for showing me how to add audio files to the blog. There will be many more sound files to come - including another Glee Club recording and the voices of some Wofford luminaries.
