Strictly academic as are his dignity as a musician and authority as an educator, they are offset by humor and common sense. The secret of his success in directing the Conservatory, of his success as a teacher, b his rare combin- ation of authority, tact, kindness and unfailing interest. Mr. Chadwick has been particularly happy in giving musical expression to something that has been characterized as strictly and strikingly American. Was not he the most American in that group of the big four , Chadwick, Foote, MacDowell, and Parker? Is there a work more American than is Chad- wick ' s jauntily irreverent Vagrom Ballad, and will not Mr. Chadwick easily remain the 6rst to deserve and keep that title which collectively is now applied to a company of slightly mixed origin and rather international tendencies? He is first and foremost a symphonic composer. He thinks and hears orchestrally. In it he expresses himself most fully, most happily. Persons, moods, and actions are translated into orchestral sounds of contour, color and meaning. In his Symphonic Sketches he shows an irreverent attitude toward worn out convention that is not recognized in music of foreign composers great or humble, while in the overture he has found a form esjjecially suited to his ptoetic intentions and range of emotions. H. E. Krehbiel wrote of Mr. Chadwick in 1903: In his Symphony in F, and Quartet in E minor there are traces of an idiomatic expression which since Dr. Dvorak ' s sojourn in the United States has been discussed more or less intelligently as a possible trait for an American School of Composition. Of his comic opera, Tabasco , Philip Hale has written, He of our American Composers has not only melody, rhythm and color facility, but a strong sense of humor, an appreciation of values, and that quality known as horse sense. Mr. Chadwick has published over a hundred songs. He does not disdain simplicity in them. He can be popular in a sense of the word and turn out a tune that runs along in a straight and even gait like the most anonymous folk song. None of them is so artless that it does not by some slight token betray the deft hand of the artisan. Humorous lyrics are filed to a sharper edge when set in Mr. Chadwick ' s musical italics. Manly and heroic poems he clothes in stirring airs and martial rhythms. Following Mr. Chadwick and foremost among those Americans who have come under his teaching influence are Frederick Converse, Henry Hadley, Burlingame Hill, Daniel Gregory Mason, Horatio Parker, and Arthur Shepherd. Since this page received the approval of Mr. Chadtoick just two days before his sudden passing away on Easter Eve, April iih, 1931, and as the Xeume had already gone to press, both the Directory Committee and Editor feel that under the present circumstances, the book should remain as he last saw it. But Jloujers distilled though they vnlh winter meet, Leese but their show, their substarue still lives sweet. Shakespeare.

The life of Beethoven is the life of a great artist who was equally great as a man. His genius enlarged the language of music, for his compositions speak to the world of the struggles, aspirations, and triumphs of the soul. They are deeply emotional, yet full of intellectual power and grandeur, expressing in their beauty the feelings of all humanity. 28 Derm ' ceK Sprat I er Ed. it OT- in-C hi ' ef Horry Law ton Photoc TQphy □eanoTriQcLeod Asst.

It was still in its youth during the llenai-ssance when in Italy the fine arts reached perfection; and it was only at the beginning of the sixteenth century, during the time of Palestrina, that a depth of growth became apparent. The .seventeenth century developed independence of instrumental and vocal music. From then on through the succeeding centuries, up to the present day. mu.sic grew in form and enrichment of poetic value; eidarged in all its dei)artments; and brought from all over the world definite .schools of musical art with their representa- tive geniuses. The twentieth century .seems to be ai)pr()aching the millenium in scientific progress by its establishment of a relatively perfect order out of the chaos of |)reced- ing generations. It remains to be seen whether or not Western music has reached the same point. Like the men of Athens, always on the alert for the new and unusual, America has formed her artistic background from the finest products of old world achieve- ment and woven an entirely new pattern for herself. A slowly evolving school of American music is an integral part of this national craf tsmanshij), and only the continued efforts of those artists and educators who have a vital interest in things American for Americans can o w to bring about a truly individualistic type of music. Educator, performer, composer, and critic must unite in one common interest - — the cstaf)lishment of a definite school of .Vmerican Music. So, by using the lofty significance of our art, we .students, as weavers of tomorrow, may l)righten the pattern and reinforce the fabric of American Mu sic, making it worth while and of lasting beauty.

John Percival, Bai i ' 3« « suj. Maier and PatUson Give Final Recital al Repertory The music critic is a bundle of contradictions. He is gorged with music, yet unless he is very old and sour, he has not lost his enthusiasm for it. Becau.se his opinions are backed by the .so-called power of the press he is kowtowed to by his musical betters. Nevertheless, his personal popularity is that of an umpire. If he likes what the reader dislikes he is a yes-man and a poor sap. if he dislikes what the reader likes he is a spoil-sport and a dolt. He knows that what he writes may be loudly acclaimed today — by those who agree with him — but that it will be re- membered tomorrow only if he has failed to recognize greatness. Then he may join the immortal company of those who scoffed at Beethoven and insulted Wagner. He is the one non-productive worker in the musical vineyard, yet he materially affects its output, for he .stimulates di.scussion, and di.scussion is necessary to progress. Moreover, because his standards are higher than those of the general public, he keeps performers on their mettle. . nd if he sometimes obstructs the path of genius he more often expo.ses the shammers and incompetents. If he has often been guilty of obscurantism he has been known to champion deserving and otherwise friendless causes. In the same breath let us pronounce him useless, and even harmful, and admit that we cannot do without him. 62 Class of 1932 Everett Sittard Jacque Goodman Mary Bartlett John Lyons E KUETT SiTTAUD JUNIOR OFFICERS Executive Committee President Vice President Secrciari Treasurer Rhona Perkins John Sheldon 65 Iiintnr ( in JLllllUI V- tCiOo - 1930 3 1 GaUHIKL A(( AU1)I Marian I ji ise Kinc; Li.i .AHKTii Adams Evan(;eline LeBlanc Pktkr John Aieluj Wai Tsi EN Lee Gkrrish Albert Dorothy Liang Eleanor Davis Anderson John Lyons An(;ela Annkhl rico Marie MADUiAN toria Aznavoorlvn YoL.

Not only does the range of studies develop in the student a conversant knowledge of his own particular field, but it permits of a well-rounded academic education as well. Requirements for the degree include an individual recital, a performance with orchestra. Faculty Council examinations, and a thesis. Those who complete the course .satisfactorily, whether as soloist, composer, or teacher, have had an honor conferred upon them which testifies to an unusual musical ability and intellectual excellence. , 68 Candidates for the Degree Bachelor of Music WITH CONCENTRATION IN OR(JAN: Ri Tii Bami ' ton (N.E.C. 1927) Eleanor Taylou WITH ( ONCE ' TRATION IN MUSICAL RESEARCH: RouKKT G.

(ieneral educators recognize the disciplinary and cul- tural values inherent in properly directed music study. Professional musicians are cognizant of the fa t that the audience of the future — in some cases, of the present also — is the generation of children now in the schools. The public is becoming aware of the cultural and avocational uses of music and so of its value as a school subject. School Music attempts to lay the foundations of a musical education for the future musician and listener, its chief aim being to con.serve and foster the musical resources of the community by providing musical training for the most readily educable element of the community, youth. Through this attempt it often becomes the center of the musical activities of the community, sometimes producing, indirectly, profound effects on the adult population by reaching youth with a touch so vital as to affect parents and home. To those entering this field. School Music offers a double challenge: to serve the art of music and l)c true to its best ideals; to give to coming generations the true enrichmcnf of life which is jxissible through proper contacts with the most highly social of the arts. Musicians of talent can make great contributions in this field, granted that their motives are right, their training is sound, and that they are fired with a zeal i)r()i) )rtionate to the importance of the task to be acc nnplislicd. Upon those who guide the musical activities of the schools largely depends the musical growth of the |)eople.

' 5 an Kii ' lisli traveller in the American eolonies ohserverl tliat In I{ii l( n tliere are no musicians by trade , and relates that a enliiresonie bnl unfortunate dancing master was fined IfMt sliillin);s for attempting to found a scluxil of dancing. The sin in;; of psidms in churches was permitted under severe restrictions, and scruples such as the followinji are recorded: Wiiether one he to sing for all I lie rest, the rest joining only in spirit and saying A men: or the whole Congregation? Whether women, as well as men: or men alone? It is a far cry from this attitude of mind toward the Heavenly Muse, to the pre.sent adoration which we have for her, and an interesting historical and psychological stiuly to trace the slow, faltering efforts hy which prejudice was overcome. AVe owe much to the early composers of hymns, and organizers of singing societies: Hillings, Holden, and Mason, for through their efforts better singing, and gradually a love of better music was brought about. In 181.3 the Handel and Haydn Society was organize l, which is still doing notable work in the choral field. In IS ' 2I a Philharmonic S«K-iety was established, and later came the Ciermania Orchestra. Then followed the Harxard Musical . ssociation. and its or -hestra. leading in ISHl to the organization of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. The sub.sequent hist iry of . nierican music is bound up with that of this body, and others like it in New York. I ' hiladel[)hia, Chicago, and other cities. The time was now ripe for the .Vmerican composer to appear, and he did so in the person of Professor John K. Paine. Paitie came from Portland, Maine, a state which has produtrd many eminent musicians. He stu lied in Berlin and produced .some of his early works tliere with success. When he returne l to America he was accounted our greatest organist. lie estal lish( d a department of musi - at Harvard I tiiversity and gradually ilevelopcd toleration and finally admiration for his art in the rather .severely intellectual surroundings of that great college. His influence was nation wide. His orchestral works, such as the Spring Symphony and n Island Phanta.sy were frequently performed, aiul displayed a freshness of invention and skill of techni(|ue unknown to .Vmerican composers before his time. His pupil, . rthur Foote, has achieved fame through his songs, piano pieces, chamber music, and a beautiful .Suite for Or hestra. His music has charm and grai-e, perfection of workmanship, and has been well received both here and abroad. (Jeorge Whitefield Chadwick, to whom we owe so much in the building up of the Conservatory, has distinguished himself in nearly every field of composition. . great artist and an original thinker, his character and independence show through his music, which often has marked individuality. There is a warmth, a human note, and a freshness about it that always makes a direct appeal. MacDowell, the romanticist, the impassioned writer of the Sonatas and Concertos for piano, the dreamer of the New Kngland Idylls , the recorder of folk-lore in the Indian Suite , has made a lasting impression on our native music. . distinct individuality and a deep poetic nature pervade his works. Horatio Parker, master of the choral style, writer of great Oratorios, of operas and of orchestral works. Professor of Music at Vale, was recognized both at home and abroad as one of our greatest com- posers. His gifts were lyric rather than dramatic, his skill in contrapuntal writing exceptionally fine, and his harmonic sense rich and warm. Of the next generation, Henry K. Hadley has achieved great renown as a c-onduetor as well as a composer. His works are spontaneous and brilliant. He has produced orchestral works, chamber music, operas, and choral works, all of which have been well received. Henry Gilbert, ardent protagonist in the field of .American folk-music, gave us many efTective works. He had a fine sen.sc of color and made striking u.se of Indian and .Negro niehxlies. Edward Biirlingame Hill has produced several fine orchestral works, which have won deserved success. French and Russian influences have appealed to him, l ut he has achieved his own mode of expression and a splendid harmonic and orchestral technique. Many others could be mentioned if space permitted. The . merican school is slowly and surely developing. What it will eventually produce is impossible to foretell. There ought to be independence, vigor, sanity; beauty and poetry of a large sweep, like our own vast prairies; strength, like our rugged mountains; energy and fire, like the stir of our cities. Shall we find the spiritual depth and sincerity that are neces,sary for a great art? Who knows? 1 Gilbert Byron Dorotliy Hcarcc Ivard Strauss Irma Watson Howard Harrington Virginia Barnard William Evans Josephine Zappa Virginia Barnard Uramatic Keciiai CI WTON 1) (;II,HKI{T Director LK ROI A FAIT HAITRK TAMBOI R ' (The King ordcrx the (Iriiiiix to be hcalen) u old French ballade Nabhatoh . , . .

This organization has as its objects the promotion, through cooperation and affiliation, of closer friendship among the members of all (Ireek-letter societies in the school; the fostering of a spirit of mutual helpfulness: the advancement of graduate and under-graduate interests, and the furthering of fraternity scholarships. In a word, the Inter-Fraternity Council aims to be of the greatest possible aid to Alma Mater. 91 1 Alpha Chi Omega McCausland Edwards Lewis Dunn Hiblet Jobson Nelson Pennock MacLeod Thiemc lioothby Miller Bartlelt Dabbs Iloberts Perkins Sierer North Wakefield Alpha Chi Omega, a member of the National Pan-Hellenic Congress, estab- lished Zeta chai)ter at the New England Conservatory of Music in 189.5. Zeta is the only strictly musical chapter, although the traditions of the fraternity embody the appreciation of music and its sister arts, and the attainment of a high moral and mental standard. Zeta Chapter is proud of her contribution to American music. Many artists have come from her ranks. Ruth Culbertson has given piano recitals in Boston and New York. She was a winner of a Walter Naumberg award in 1930. Martha Baird, internationally known piani.st, has appeared many times in private concerts and as soloist with leading symphony orchestras of America. A wide reputation has been won by the Durrell String Quartet, of which Josephine Durrell and Mildred Ridley are members. Five members of this chapter have been winners in the Mason and Hamlin piano contest. 92 U r Jllpha Chi Omega OFFICERS ACTIM : MKMHKRS Prc.iv.leiil Vice Prt ' xideiit ( ' orreniiOiidiiKj Sr return Record inij Se rela ry Trcaxiirer Wanleii II i.iioriaii ( ' ha plain Lyre Editor ICi.EAXOK Anne MacLkod Sarah Miller Della Veola Xelson Margaret North Alice Pen nock Rhoxa Perkins Eleanor Riulet Elizabeth Roberts Katherine Sierer Kathryn Thieme Euzabeth Wakefield Rhona I ' erkins ....

The aims of the fraternity are: to aid its members in a moral and material way; to encourage sincere and earne.st music study; to promote and dignify the musical profession: to establish clo.ser relations between mu.sicians and music schools; to work for the development of mu.sic in America. 94 Kappa Gamma Psi OFFICKliS C.

Incorporated in 1901 as the Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia Fraternity of America, it has since expanded to include fifty-two chapters. Having as its purpose the advancement of music in America, Sinfonia has .striven to encourage its members to greater efforts by the awarding of scholarships and prizes. To increase the familiarity of its members with American music each chapter offers an annual concert of American compositions. In addition to this there are presented each year informal concerts of various works, and members are urged to contribute to the public concerts and recitals of the school. The fraternity also affords an opportunity for recreation by its numerous social events. There are smokers, impromptu gatherings, and dances run in collaboration with other frat- ernities. One of the most popular of these functions is the weekly luncheon, to which are invited the men .students of the Conservatory. 98 I ' m L L. Baici ss John V. Sheldon ' Ul SSKM. .

KING, Manager 128 at 136 BoYLSTON Street Boston, Massachusetts | l)otograpt)er£; to Clagg of 1931 1-29 (lainsboro Street — from September to June it is vibrant, romantic ' , pulsating; its brick apartments and city dirt covered in an atmosphere of moonlight and roses. Collegiate and cosmopolitan, it is the most musical street in Boston. The serious students practice all day and the collegians play jazz all night. Beginning at one end with a Chopin Xocturne, one passes through My Country ' Tis of Thee, played in the first position, pauses at lesson seven of Instructions for Beginners on the Saxophone , deliberates on a theme of the Schumann Concerto, and arrives at a record of the Tchaikovsky Fifth Symphony or a vocal rendition of The Jewel Song from Faust. In the long years to come our memories of Gainsboro will include many events and associations, but above all they will be of the romance in this Cosmopolitan Conservatory Campus.
