HISTORY USIC rHE New England Conservatory of Music was founded by Eben Tourjee in 1 867. Its first home was a very modest sujte of rooms in the Boston Music Hall. However, it fulfilled Mr. Tourjee ' s fondest hopes; it provided the United States with its first institution devoted entirely to the study of music. Proof of the need for the Conservatory was exhibited by its rapid growth. At the end of the second year there was a total enrollment of 1414 pupils. Distinguished musicians and scholars were procured for the faculty. One member was Alexander Graham Bell, famous inventor of the telephone. In 1882 the Conservatory expanded to the spacious St. James Hotel in Franklin Square. This not only provided adequate class room space, but also living quarters for women students. It was not until 1902 that the Conservatory was moved to its present Huntington Avenue location. Four years later the student registration had increased to 2,60B. In 1927 the Conservatory awarded its first Bachelor of Music degree, and in 1933 its first Master of Music degree. It has long held a high rank of distinguished prominence in music circles throughout the world— testified to by the large foreign student registration. Many musicians who have studied at the Conservatory have later achieved world fame. Among these are: George Chadwick, Lillian Nordica, Louise Homer, and later Eleanor Steber and Mildred Miller. A great percentage of today ' s Symphony Orchestra members through- out the United States are Conservatory graduates. Many Boston Sym- phony members are on the faculty of the Conservatory. On various occasions, too, during the present year and past years, the New England Conservatory Chorus prepared by Lorna Cooke DeVaron has appeared at Symphony performances. It has always earned praises both for itself and the Conservatory. Such activities ever increase the Conservatory ' s growing musical experience. The high grade of excellence demanded by Conservatory standards assures the world of still greater achievements in our profession. The Conservatory graduate goes forth well equipped into his chosen field of music. Page five
