General Information Lyceum and Chautauqua Engagements The MacPhail School is in touch with the leading lyceum and chautauqua companies and annually supplies a large number of its students with engagements. Operatic quartets, orchestra and dramatic companies are formed and coached, and sent on both summer and Winter tours. Those having considerable previous train- ing can qualify for lyceum and chautauqua positions in one year. Minneapolis, A Music Center The splendid opportunities offered for hearing the World's greatest music and the renowned artists who visit the city annually giving recitals, have made Minneapolis the music center of the Northwest. Famous throughout the land, the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra gives its home patrons sixteen evening concerts and twenty-four matinees. The city is also favored with beautiful lakes and parks, and its churches and art galleries exert a strong influence upon the education of its population. Mu Phi Epsilon Sorority The MacPhail School has the honor of being the home of a chapter in the National Honorary Musical Sorority, Mu Phi Epsilon. It aims to foster a high standard of scholarship. Sigma Alpha Iota Sorority The Sigma Alpha Iota Sorority also maintains a chapter at the school. Activi- 'ties include regular program meetings and during the winter many pleasant social gatherings are held. Girl's Club The MacPhail School girls' club is organized principally to promote friend- ship among students and offers opportunity for social gatherings. All students of the school are invited to become members. During the year monthly programs are given. Self Help Students desiring to earn part of their expenses are given every assistance by the school. The registrar is in close touch with a number of sources of employ- ment and many music students have found it possible to secure part time work while pursuing their studies. Through the school bureau, advanced students are given many opportunities for concert and orchestral engagements, which mate- rially assist them financially. Opportunities for Public Appearance The MacPhail School believes in public recitals and offers students every facility for acquiring the experience necessary for successfully appearing before an audience. Each teacher gives at least two pupils' recitals annually and many hold monthly class meetings when students play for and criticise each other. This train- ing is invaluable in effacing self-consciousness and restraint and developing poise and confidence.
