Notes: 

"The University Singers" were founded by Ian Pitt-Watson, their first conductor, in the year that he was President of the University Musical Society, as a direct outcome of the first Annual Carol Party given by the E.U.M.S. in December, 1944, at which they performed as a select choir without a special title.
