Miami, Ohio Chapter Host To Dr. Johnson
+ The fraternity chapter house is the sce ne of varied a tlvJty throughout the coll ege year. Some events pass by unnoticed. Then, there are those events remembered for a lifetime. Such was the impact of the reception given in honor of Dr. Thor Johnson by the broth ers of Delta Gamma Chapter of IIKA. The event followed the performa nce of the Brahms' R equiem sung by the co m bined undergraduate choruses of the university under Dr. Johnson's direction. Mr. Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, baritone, was so loist for the performance, making his American debut. For many years the brothers have sung under Dr. J ohnson in similar co ncert; but this year, being the 25th Ann iversary of the establishment of the music depart National Music D i'rector George Zimmerman serves Dr. Thor Johnson, Con ment at Miami University, Pi Kappa Al ductor of the Cin cinnati Symphony Orchestra, at a reception i.n the Delta pha thought it a fitting time to serve Gamma chapter h ouse at Oxforcl, Ohio.
