TH E NEUME Nineteen Hundred and Six Ralph L. Flanders R. FLANDERS was born in Carroll, Nfaine. Ile comes of good old New England stock, both branches of his family running back to Revolutionary times. Entering business as a bookkeeper when nineteen years of age, he won rapid promotion, and in two years was taken into the firm, later becoming the head of the concern. Mr. Flanders came to the Conservatory as Assistant 1NIanager in July, 1899. His exceptional experience in business had given him excellent training for the position. Immediately his agreeable personality and genu- ine business ability were felt in the management, and gradually there 'spread abroad a knowledge of a change in Conservatory affairs. ln January, 1904, he was elected Manager--one of the youngest men ever entrusted with tl1e responsibility of so large an institution. It is a recognized fact in the Board of Trustees that to Mr. Flander's wise administration is due the present excellent financial condition of the school, also the increase in pupils and income in the past two years. ln the able Manager the student body finds a true friend. Approach- able always, sympathetic, ever ready to respond to the need of advice or material help, lVIr. Flanders has won a powerful hold on the esteem and affection of the students. I4
