, .... . .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

tt 11414 M Page I7 In Grateful Memor NA E HAS left us a rich heritage. He was not only an artist in the creative sense, a great master of his own medium of expression. He was also a humanitarian. He found in music the way toward beauty-and therefore the way toward truth. And he helped thousands of others to fine it. Every lesson to every student and every performance at the piano was a source of inspiration. He touched miraculously and beneficently the thoughts of his listeners in music audiences at Stephens and in the far cities of the world.

The dynamic quality of his life was the result of one formula, one principle: Self- investmentf' He said, on one occasion, One must not think too much about what is best for himself. His life perspective was always broad enough to include others. He never sacrificed outlook to inlook. He gave to life much more than he asked from it. He has left us, too, an example and a watchword. The example is that of a life geared to a purpose and an ideal-a life that acknowledged no end to growth, no ,period that could estop the progress of personal effort. And the watchword he has left us is as vital as his example. It is a kind of verbal similitude of his nature. His mind, to the very last, was busy with the demands of tomorrow. He was chart- ing the future. The burden of his thought was carry on. Again there must be no period to achievement! That is the watchword, he has left us. If we can visualize him at the piano, his skilled Hngers on the keys, we can hear it in counter- point fortissimo: Carry on. It is the one way to pay him the tribute he de- SGYVCS . -Adapted from the faculty tribute to Dr. Gauntlett, September, 1946.
