Exhibit celebrates 100 years of Whiffs
Treading the halls of Sterling Memorial Library this month is a blast from the Whiffenpoofs’ past.
As Yale’s oldest a cappella singing group prepares to celebrate its 100th anniversary, a Whiffs exhibit housed in Sterling library is honoring a century of Mory’s cups, white gloves and melodious voices. Spending months digging through old archives and contacting Whiffenpoof alums, Barry McMurtrey ’88, an alumnus of the group and library services assistant, curated the installation. It includes memorabilia from the group’s star-studded past and a collection of album covers and jackets...
I see from the excellent article that the Whiff exhibit in the Library is to end Oct. 29. I would urge that it be continued through the Harvard game weekend Nov. 22 so that many who will come for that will have the pleasure of enjoying this tribute to Yale's a capella singing.
