Final Meeting Of Concert Board The director of the Hanover Concert Association met at the home of the president, Mrs. Robert L. Rodgers, 200 East Walnut street, last evening with reports being made on the activities of the association for the season just closed. At a previous meeting of the board, a resolution was passed in which the association decided to dissolve due to a possibility of facing a decided deficit during the present season. Last year was the first in a number of years that the association closed the books with a surplus.

The expense for the season just closed was $1,290.74, part of which was outstanding in unpaid bills and it was feared that in closing the association, many valuable musical instruments and a large musical library would have to be disposed of to meet the outstanding obligations. An anonymous party interested in the work of the concert association, however, came to the aid of the body with a generous contribution which enabled the board to close the season's books clear of debt. The association has a membership of 389, about 150 of which are student memberships at half the price of regular dues. Triple Celebration Mr. and Mrs.
