, .... . .N,,.,.,,,MwMw1 Basil Deane XCEPT for a brief interval, Basil Deane Gauntlett served as director Of the Stephens College Conservatory of Music from 1909 to 1946. In his death, at the opening of this school year, the College has suffered a great loss. He was an outstanding member of the staff and an outstanding artist in music, known with favor nationally and internationally. He has left a place which it will be difficult, if not impossible, to fill. In recognition of his sterling character, his wholesome influence upon students, his reputation as a great artist, and his distinctive service to the College, the Board of Curators has directed that the Conservatory of Music at Stephens be hereafter known as the Basil Deane Gauntlett Conservatory. t l i f i 1 1 i l Q i l 1 i l I 1 l I Gauntlett f l l l N 4. i 1 Pagg 16 Page 17
