Marian Nugent Bachelor of Music Marian Nugent, the first pupil of the L. C. M. to receive the Bachelor of Music Degree, has studied with Charles J. Letzler for the past four years. He prepared her for the Music Week Contest in 1923 of which she was the winner. The young violin¬ ist also received her diploma from the Conservatory at that time.
