The first Women’s Glee Club was formed in 1893, under the direction of Augusta Hastreiter of the School of Music. Ten years later in 1903, an article in a local newspaper about the club stated, “In appearance and in their musical numbers the girls made a most pleasing impression, demonstrating finally and for all time that the University of Michigan has ample material for a good club among the girls.”
