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-
