Wallace Goodrich Dean of the Faculty WALLACE GOODRICH, endowed with solid musicianship as organist and conductor, combined with the wisdom and tact required to win and hold popular appreciation, was born in Newton, Massachusetts, May 27, 1871. His piano study began while in school. At the age of fifteen his great talent and interest concentrated in the organ and, after three years ' training under Mr. Dunham, he became organist in the Eliot Church in Newton and gave frequent recitals. Having had preliminary instruction in composition with George W. Chadwick, in 1894 Mr. Goodrich continued his education at the Royal Academy. Muni ch, under Rheinberger and Abel, and in 1895 won a medal and gave a choral work with orchestra. He was in Paris with Widor (1895-961. where he made a study of the remarkable development of French organ music, and in 1896-97 was a coach and ballet-conductor at the Leipzig Sladt-Theater. Since 1897 he has taught Organ at the New England Conservatory of Music, where in 1905-06 he took charge during Mr. Chadwick ' s absence in Europe, and since 1907 he has been Dean of the Faculty. In addition to his manifold re- sponsibilities, Mr. Goodrich has acted as organist for the Roston Symphony Or- chestra (1897-1909), appearing several times as soloist, and at Trinity Church (1902-09). He has been equally active as conductor, organizing the Choral Art Society in 1902, and leading it till 1908, having charge of the Cecilia Society (1907-10), and since 1919 conducting the orchestral concerts in Jordan Hall. From the inception of the Boston Opera Company in 1909 to 1912, he was one of the regular conductors. Besides his sympathy with the French school of organ playing, he is interested in all problems of church music, and has helped to solve them by serving on the Committee for the Revision of the Episcopal Hymnal in 1918-19. He is secretary of the Joint Commission on Church Music. The uniformly high quality- of his work has been coupled with a surprising uniformity of success. He has published educational works for the organ and has written The Organ in France, 1917, and several essays on organ playing and Gregorian Music. Mr. Goodrich has, we feel, the keenest interest in the welfare of each one of us. Nothing could give us more courage to face our life ' s problems than to know that we have one of the leading American musicians as our teacher, adviser and friend. In recognition of his noble and sympathetic assistance, we extend our heartfelt appreciation.
