THE STOAY O THE JUBILAE SINGERS. _
eewrtSNOTICES OF THE as ee

From the North American,
Mr. Marsh tells a story which is as interestiug aud wonderful as any romance.

The career of the Jubilee Singers is indeed a notavle illustration of the old sity>

ing that truth is stranger than. fiction. a3 no one wio reads the book under
notice will Fae | to acknowledge. The author has done his work well. *

opens with the renark that it sedus as little like a caapter in real life as the
legend of the daring Argon. tuts who sailed with Jason oa that famous voyage
And truly no legend couid be more marvelous. Vell

Rroin The Toronto Daity Nit Oct. 9, 1880

The record of the Jubilee Sina gers is one of those woe which are stranger
than uctiou., A litue co.npa: ly of reveatly eafraachised slaves set out tw raise
for ine tuuudiug of a college fur their people what seemed the fabulous suin of
$zu, vu. 1 ney returued, having earued by their marvelous siuging over 910,000
Tuey encountered at urst cu: MudaLivy, persey ation aad insult, bat they soon won
their way tu tue uearis of the pevpie, aud were welcomed to,tae highest circles
of the Vid World and th New.

ane uppearance of this company of colored singers cannot be other tnan a
Circwustauce vf great interest ty every vae wi is at all familiar with their re-
markable history. r " It is true that no living Americans, ex-
eept Gen. Graut, have seen so much of the iaside of Muropean life, low and
high, as these Jubilee Siugers, aad it is a peculiar feature vf their foreiz sa tour

that their dnusic has been recoguized by the critics and ausicat journals OE Gere

many und Great Britain as a distineti ve dud ovigiaal ciass, and an important
aud interesting uddition of the folk-songs of the worid. Ne

The Alliance, Chicazo, Aprile19, 1881.

Maving delignteu all Mngiaud and scotland, it thec submitted itself to the
severe test of G fermanyand cuptivated a public whose judg.nent of soag is final.
Not often will the reader of revvut history happer aoe a siranger stury than
this one of these musical slaves.

From the Standard, Chicago, AprilZ21, 1881.

The story of the now famous Jubilee Singers is familiar in a general way to
almost every one who reads. o oY hae story of the Singers is interest-
ing indeed... It was interesting as it appeared in former editions. bat now that
the former editor of the Advance and one of our owu contributors has re-written
it, new attractions are added to it. [t will touch a tender spot in many a heart
to read this account of their suru ugzle from a position where they would be
bought and sold, to the presence of some of earths best awe noblest souls.

from The Dicily dead iw Boston, Maes.

The story vi cae Jubilee Singers asto.d by Mr. J... I. Marsh, reaas aimost
like a romance. That these emancipated slaves should ave gone forth over the
envilized world, the gue-ts of the Crowned heads of Europe, and: returned with
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, with which to build an educational in-
stitution for the elevation of their race, seems little short of a marvel. The
volume is written in a very entertaining manner, and the pathetic story which
it unfolds will iuterest every lover of humanity.

The programme is made up principally from the Slave Songs or Spirit.
uals sung by the Negro Slaves of the Southern States.

The Jubilee Singers had the honor of introducing these songs to the public,
and, during the past ten years, they have sung them with universal acceptance
and approval in the principal cities of the United States, Car ada, Great Brit-
ain, Holland, Germany and Switzerland.

Fisk UNIVERSITY
Servant to the Nation

Endorsed by the United States Commissioner
of Education.

This institution deserves the help of all the people
in all parts of the country. It is a great national
institution, and the education of the colored man and
of the leaders there is a national problem, to the solu-
tion of which we should all contribute.Dr. Phi-
lander P. Claxton, in Pittsburgh Address, Jan. 19,

> Le

Commended by the United States Bureau of
ee Education. _

In its recent Soars on > Nance Education (Vol. I,

p. 538), the Bureau recommends:

Phat the Institution be adequately financed, so
that it may strengthen its work as a central institu-
tion for college training and social service.

Endorsed by the United States Secretary of
War. |

In a letter to President McKenzie, sent to be read
at the Fisk meeting in the Philadelphia Academy of
Music, January 28, 1918, Hon. Newton D. Baker em-
phasized the fact that Fisk University is performing
a national service through its courses of study and
high ideals.

e

Must Such an Institution be Crippled
for Want of $3,500?

Friends are asked to read the page following.

Professor Work:

Have you been to Lebanon
before? I forget whether
you can get back that night.
The lady who is asking for
the Singers suggests that
you drive. Please came in
as early as possible Monday
and look at the letter.

She accepts Munsugdpril 15
but I want to be sure of con-
ditions,
