New England Conservatory of Music - Neume Yearbook (Boston, MA)

Page 7 text:

PRELUDE The love of learning and the love for music compose the theme of the New England Conservatory of Music . The 1962 edition of the Conservatory yearbook, the Neume, essen- tially depicts a concert and its composition. With our photographs we have tried to capture the informality of being. With our literary comments we have attempted to bring a personal thought to every student . Consolidating these two elements to bring about a uni- fying, vivid picture of this past year, has been the objec- tive of the Neume staff. With obstacles of dissimilar pro- portions, the assiduous people working for the book have put in long hours trying to surmount these barriers . At this point we would personally like to thank the members of the faculty, patiently tolerating the needs of our endeavors. The people behind the pages, are the people we would like to thank for enhancing the representation of the Con- servatory and events which took place in a year gone by. May the fruits of our labor be the reward for these efforts . Editors-in-chief Diane J . Cullington Henry G . Schnierer
