dedication to ERNST LEVY The graduating class of 1945 dedicates Its yearbook as a symbol of appreciation for his efforts, cooperation, and ever-present sense of humor. We feel that the Conservatory will suffer a great loss at his departure. This year has seen the completion of his 1 0th Symphony; and the per- formance of his 9th Symphony at Carnegie Hall in New York. His pianistic abilities also have not gone unnoticed; and as he leaves the portals of the Conservatory, he goes on to greater and higher achievements. We who have studied with him and have known him shall be grateful always for his kindness, understanding, and genius.

Open cJHeltef to llie duSA of 1945 DEAR NEWLY-BAKED MUSICIANS AND FRIENDS! It seems easier to make a symphony than to write that neumatic letter you have asked for. . . . Not because I have nothing to say — but rather because I have so many things to say, and because the important things one can say in life and in art, about life and art, are almost too confidential to be put pompously on a front page. For everything important in life, in history, in art, begins in one ' s innermost self — is shrouded in silence and secrecy, long before becoming tangible, visible, audible. War begins in man ' s heart. Peace begins in man ' s heart. Don ' t ever fall for the stupid fallacy called realism ! How could you, then, be educators? How could you be artists, musicians? For music, also, begins in man ' s heart, and in silence and secrecy. And from there on goes out to discover — literally: dis-coverl — the endless variations of beauty (beginning, alas, with such things as intervals, scales and so forth — luhum! Let us always listen to the music behind the sounds. That is what I call originality : going down to the origins, to the sources. That means sincerity in the true sense of the word, and I would say that the greater the genius, the more sincerity there is in his work. So, maybe, the best I can wish for you is genuineness, sincerity. Approach the things from within — then you will be truly original! Affectionately yours
