An Inspirational atmosphere is essential for a student of music. One of the most in- spiring atmospheres can be found here at the Conservatory. For ninety-nine years, the music of the great masters has echoed on the finger- tips or the lips of a young artist, trying to interpret each musical sound, thus creating a stimulating and vibrant environment. In this, our ninety-ninth year, we have tried within these covers to capture the many moods of the Conservatory, that they might set the mood which will be under the spotlight in 1967, our centennial year.

Boris dt Milton, Boston The New England Conservatory faculty will lose one of its most respected members this year. Rosario Mazzeo, clarinettist in the B.S.O. since 1933, member of the Berkshire Music Center faculty since its founding, and clarinet teacher and chamber music coach at the Conserva- tory, has announced his retirement from these positions. While we are unhappy to see him leave NEC, we note with pleasure that he is not 'retiring' in the ordinary sense. Mr. Mazzeo plans to live in California where he will write a complete history of the clarinet. Other projects include chamber and solo recitals, lectures at various universities, and some teaching. He will also pursue his other lifelong interests of photography and ornithology, traveling throughout the West and preparing 100 of his photographs for publication. All the many students and associates who have benefited from his creative ideas and consistently high standards of performance wish him and his family the best in the future. We are confident that his wisdom and unfailing vitality will bring him continued success. J C O 10
