Wallace Goodrich, the Dean of the P ' ac ulty. is a man of versatile ac-complish- ments. He was born in Xewton, Mass. May ' 27, 1S71. He decided, when he was quite young, to follow a musical career. At fifteen, he began studying organ with Henry Dunham at the Conservatory. He studied Harmony, Counterpoint, and Composition with Mr. Chadwick. During the time he pursued his musical educa- tion, he gave many recitals in the vicinity of Boston, besides holding resj)onsible church positions. In 1894, he went abroad to study organ under Jo.seph Rheinberger, and con- ducting under Ludwig Abel at the Royal Conservatory in Munich. .Vt the end of one year ' s study, Mr. Goodrich conducted publicly, a composition of his own, an Ave Maria for chorus and orchestra; and was awarded a silver medal for comjwsition and organ playing. The following year he studied with Widor in Paris, at the same time making a concentrated research into French organ music. In 18!)f)-18J)7, he was a r ' ' i)ititeur in the City Theater of Leipzig, and directed an elaborate l)allet. He returned to Boston and joined the faculty of the New England Conserva- tory as an organ instructor. Ten years later, in 1910 he became the Dean of the Faculty. In this office, he conducts a very capat)le orchestra and a splendid ciiorus, both of which give several concerts each year. Mr. Goodrich has held many responsible positions in the musical world. He was organist of the Boston Symphony Orchestra (18!)7-1!)()0) and of Trinity Church (190 ' 2-1909). Besides being one of the regular conductors of the Bo.ston Opera Company, he organized the Choral Art Society and Cecilia Society, both of which he conducted in many brilliant performances. His versatility does not .stop there, however, — he is j)robably one of the leading authorities on Plain Song in the United States. Not only has he introduced it in English in America, but he has given many in.structive lectures on the subject. The Con.servatory is fortunate in ha ing such a capable man as Mr. Goodrich for Dean of the Faculty. His splendid musicianship, his thoroughness in every endeavor, his strong personality, — all have been fac tors in the .school ' s success. We feel richer for having known and been guided by him, and we ho )e that his influence will continue to be exerted for many years.
