Their genial dispositions and sincerity of character won for each of them an enviable place in the hearts of the students and their fellow teachers. To whom a thousand memories call. -Tennyson.

Saltonstall Life's race well run, Life's work well done, Life's victory wonf' -John Mill. 80fA .fgnniuemarg 1867- 1947 The New England Conservatory ol Music was founded in Boston by Eben Tourjee on February 18, 1867, and incorporated in 1870. lt first occupied studies in the Boston Music Hall, the center of the orchestral activity of the city, and the home of the Great Organ. Under Dr. Tourjee's direction the school prospered, so that in 1882, the St. James Hotel in Franklin Square was acquired to provide more teaching facilities. ' Upon the death ol Dr. Tourjee in 1890, the directorship was assumed by Carl Faelten who in turn was suceeded in 1897 by George W. Chadwick. It was under Mr. Chadwick's direction that the conservatory broadened its musical curriculum and again need for more space was evident. Construction was begun, and in September of the year 1902, the conservatory moved to its present location on Huntington Ave- nue and Gainsboro Street. ln 1925, the conservatory was granted authority to confer the degree Bachelor' of Music, and eight years later, the degree Master of Music. The demands of a collegiate curriculum necessitated the con- truction of an addition to the conservatory building in 1928. When George Chadwick resigned in 1930, he was succeeded by Wallace Goodrich who had been Dean of the Faculty since 1907. In 1942, Mr. Goodrich retired and was replaced by Quincy Porter. He resigned in 1946, and Harrison Keller was appointed Acting Director. ' We, the graduating class, are grateful For the knowledge and inspiration imparted to us by the Faculty and administration. -11- we 60I'l,62l UCl, f0l g OFCAQ5 ffd MALCOLM H.

TO MR. SMITH: -- A real dummy, differing slightly from the variety which he teaches, upon which he may give way to his anger, pleasure and sorrow. TO MR. KELLER:-We feel that there is no need to bequeath anything, as our absence will surely meet the purpose. TO MR. FINDLAY: -A supply of Vienna-made batons which his student conductors will soon help deplete. TO MR. SOROSINA: - Permission to smolce in his room after class and a ouija board to assist in marlcing his borderline students. A TO THE STUDENT COUNCIL: - A host of committees to tide them over the coming year. A TO MR. COOK:-A stool attached to the piano in 310 so that he can sit down while playing, no matter how large the contemporary music cl-ass may become. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEUME 1947:-An orchid to talre home to his wife as a token of our appreciation for her long hours over a hot typewriter.

The first two reasons are self-evident: the last doubtful. r MI We have great respectgfor George Sand, O.

Not to be outdone by an one, Guy and I or Frank and I fwhichever way you look at usl have assumed. pseudonyms. I tFrankl am writing under the pen name of Frank Crewdson. Now that we have you in a daze similar to the one that the representative Freshmen twhom we plan to immortalize in this articlel was in during his first few weeks in school, we pass to the main body of our labor. The Freshman class is large, talented, enthusiastic, and best typified by our representative frosh who had this to say when offered a ticket to a Boston Symphony concert: Oh! no thank you - I have alreadyseen the orchestra. To follow such a fellow through his myriad meanderings about our school is an impossible job. To make a verbal picture of his confusion while waiting to be registered defies literature. Any poor attempts at describing his unfair consternation toward the overworked administration during those early and dread- ful days would seem ludicrous in print. Anyway, you all know how he felt - unimportant, defenseless, and for some unlucky ones homeless. This last condition was actually imposed on the poor lad his first night in Boston. A After traveling 24 hours in a clay coach of a miserable train, he arrived rumpled and disgruntled in Boston at 10:00 P. M. and detrained at the Huntington Avenue Station. Since he was tired and since he was a man, the bright sign Irvington Rooms for Men, which leered menacingly down upon the dirtiest train station in the world, caught his fancy. He made for it. The manager said that the rooms were all taken, and as the lad left, crippled by the weight of his bag, he heard the clerk warn, accommoda- tions scarce -V. F. W. Convention, ya'know. Three hours and forty phone calls later he sagged and sat down on his suitcase, thoroughly exhausted and reasonably sure that his piano teacher back home wasn't so bad after all. He slept in the Ladies' Parlor ofthe Hemenway Hotel. The next morning he had breakfast at Hayes Bickford's. From his table he could see the Conservatory. There it sits - across the street- fortress-like in its frightening immobility. Within its portals are gay, carefree, happy-go-lucky students of music, not a care creases their brows, no worry interferes with their devil-may-care attitude. Youth, zest and ambition spur them on to accomplishment and success. These are truly God's chosen few - these are scholars of the New England Conservatory, for whom all life is a song. Let us make a short tour of this bit of Paradise, sequestered as it is from the toils of the workadvay world by St. Botolph and Gainsboro Streets, Huntington Avenue, and the HY. Open the front door - it opens easily - lhere, let me help youl. Life is all ease, you see. Now, up these marble steps. Ah! What a magnificent statue! That is Beethoven. -No, BEETHOVEN. B-e-e-t-h-o-v-e-n. I don't KNOW why, but that's the way you pronounce it. Now, then, we are in the foyer. All these charming people are Conservatory Students. Oh, their pleasant existence just spells contentment all over their faces! - You don't see their faces? Well, that's because they are studying manuscripts. That's what they write music on. People rarely DO see their faces, they study so con- scientiously. We turn to the left here. Th'at's the Dean's office. He gives everyone diplomas. And this is the Treasurer's office - he holds a helping hand out to students who need that kind of helping hand. No, he never pulls his hand back. And here is the Registrar's office. This is where such-terms as Standing In Line, and Registration, and ','Practise Rooms originated. Fable has it that Students used to stand in line - three or four deep, I hear tell - to register. I don't suppose they stood VERY long. They did? Well, perhaps they were served coffee and doughnuts while they waited. PERHAPS, -47- I said. When they were through standing here they stood in line at this next window -this one marked Cashier. This is where schedule has nothing to do with trains, and cards does not necessarily mean cut and deal. The mortality rate was lower in the Cashier's Line than in the Registrar's Line. They were able to yank out the fainting cases faster here. But let us hurry. That is Jordan Hall on the right. We may hear the orchestra rehearse later. And now we are at the music store. This is where the Conservatory shows great strength in breeding patience. No, you only ORDER your books here - you must obtain it independently. Sometimes your order comes thru and then you're stuck with two books. That's killing one bird with two stones - it really requires only one.for an efficient job. They are overworked there in the book store. Out of,Print has become a by-word. in it Now proceed down the hall, and around the corner. Watch out! Here come the Fine Arts students. Oh, they always grape like that when they come from class. But they generally rehabilitate fairly soon. Notice their eyes - like blinking balls of fire, they are. Shall we look inside? Ah, it is still dark in here and there are a few of the -class yet present. Some of these poor students have taxed their eyes over- much, l'm afraid. See how they hang listlessly over their chairs. One of them is stirring - recovering, no doubt. How swollen the eyeballs, how enlarged the pupils! Imagine the love of the fine arts to cause fatigue such as this. Stand aside! Let him stumble by into the refreshing' light of day. He de- serves at least that for his labor. We shall take our own departure. Up this staircase we now proceed. Perhaps you would like to hear' some students in their practise. Listen! You can discern notes from the pianos even now. Here young aspiring pianists work their 'fingers to the bone for the music they love so. And they'll go places, too. The music grows louder. We hear Bachis Two Part Invention, No. 8. There is the student himself. He has seen us. He is modulating into another piece fl scarcely dare say for our benetitl. Why, he is playing Chopin's Polonaise in A Flat. Bravura, con molto-maestoso. He seems quite leonine. He is really pouring himself into that piece. What tire! Notice the way he tosses his head, swings the shoulders, lifts the hands., He appears even more .leonine. now. Rrrrrummmmm! da da da, DUM da da da, DUM da da da, DUM da da da . . . What octaves! The music gets wilder and more emotional. Now he is a veritable lion! Why does he keep eyeing us so? Let us go. Now we approach - why, he has stopped playing the Polonaise. He has gone back to the Bach Invention. Then he WAS playing for us! Wasn't that kind of him! Our time is growing short,'so let us hurry. Yes, there are literally hundreds of students who practise as soulfully. Around this corner - and now up these wide steps. There - these rooms belong to the teachers. You hear scratching noises - pfaintive whimpering7 Where? Ah, yes. Well, he is probably an unprepared student entering that room for his lesson. An unprepared student is frowned on here. fWham! Wham!! Sometimes you can hear the frowns. That whip you see in the hands of the teacher helps punctuate his words of annoyance, or helps regulate the uneveness of a pupil's playing. That is Room 41 on our right. No, it is not a seance - it's a class in Stage Department. They are relaxing. They are learning the technique of public appearance. The closed eyes help, of course - but in public they are usually open. They do not worship Allah! They are merely flexing their arms for added relaxation. Yes. Now we shall return to the main floor. The scatfolding is for painters. They are employed to scatter paint, in small quantities, on the heads of students passing beneath. Sometime they paint the walls, but sprinkling the students' heads is more important as it identities them as those associated with the Conservatory. T We have just time for a glimpse of the orchestra in rehearsal. So come inside Jordan Hall a moment. That agile gentleman making the motions of a conjurer with the little stick is the conductor. He does not collect fares, no. But he certainly drives those students. That is NOTasmile. The conductor's face merely registers supreme self-control. lt is this that inspires the orchestra to unparalleled musical accom- plishment. The little stick: is only a .short-range unity compeller, but the face' is effective at long range. He has stopped the orchestra. He is pointing the little stick at one ofthe members. LThat member has otfended the Code. He has blundered. Ah, poor fellow! See how he buries his head in his hands! Hear those sobs of grief and lament! But the conductor is essentially a kind man. He raises the otfendenfrom his knees with a sign and glowers with benevolence. Under his rugged exteriorbeats a heart of gold. He will forgive the otfender, we trust, and the magnificence of his future work will absolve him completely. ' Enough of this skittle-scattle. One more thought, fellow freshmen, we askxyou to enjoy these remaining days of Freshmenhood, because after that you wiil be sophomores - mere hasbeens.

L yre Editor PLEDGES Sally Welch Genice Mingo Muriel Halle Zeta Chapter of Alpha Chi Omega is one of 68 chapters of this fraternity scattered throughout the universities and colleges of the country. First founded in 1885 at the School of Music of De Pauw University in Indiana, it was a musical fraternity, but was soon divorced from the original concept in order to include liberal art students. Today, Zeta is the only pure musical chapter. . . Q iiss . :lr .gfggg II Scholarship is one of its prime requirements. The active members, together with the well organized alumnae, aim to promote good fellowship among all, as well as to strengthen the bonds of the fra- ternity. Activities for this year included receptions, parties and teas, in addition to the annual concert which is planned for Spring. The chapter is enthusiastically preparing for the national convention to take place at the Chateau Frontenac, Canada, in June.

The club was founded by Paul E. Bordeleau, who states it like this: After attending the Conservatory for a ear I realized that something was missing - some liind of organization, whereby composition and arranging students could meet in a body and ex- change ideas. So with the help of John Lucky Russell and a favorable answer from Dean Holmes, the COMPOSERS AND ARRANGERS CLUB was started, with our first meeting in Cctober of 1946. Mr. Bordeleau expressed the hope that the club will become a permanent part of Conservatory life. Joseph Chamberlain, Vincent Cusato, Joseph Cqrfollj William Tesson, George E.

I It is important for a composer, especially in our day of modern music, to hear his music played and criticised before it reaches the public's ever-critical ear. With students this need is even greater. For greatest effect, the work must be done in a group which has the same main objective in mind and the common good of music at heart. Such a group has now been organized here at N. E. C. It is a newly formed organization open to all students interested in Symphonic Composition and Popular arranging regardless of their major. Actual performance and constructive criticism of the members' compositions and arrangements are the main objectives. Thanks to the sincere support of the faculty, we are able to institute an N. E.

These Veterans were determined to acclimate themselves to studying again and to obtain the knowledge they realized was so important to their future progress. There were a great many with similar problems and it was this similarity and understanding of each other's problems that prompted a group of men to form a club known as the Veterans Club of the New England Conservatory of Music. Out of this club grew understanding and coopera- tion which encouraged many and continues to do so. This cooperation did not stop at just scholastic assistance but extended into the social activities. The outstanding proof of this cooperation was the fascinating and excellent minstrel show given last year. 152-. .ey 60l'YLl'I'lbLf0l'5 OFFICERS Bruce Clarlr .....................,.................,.,..........

The purpose of the club is to give the commuters a place to get together and therefore to feel more at home. However, we could not have progressed as we did if it had not been for the fine leadership of our Veteran Dean Mr. Holmes and our Veteran Instructor Mr. Harold Schwab. . Our organization has from the 'first been open to all veteran students, both men and women regard- less of race, creed or color, and as long as the club remains in existence this rule shall be in effect.
