To one Who has not observed the work of the college orchestra in its continuous development under the masterly direction of Florian A. Lind- berg, the most severely critical j udgment might seem unwarranted praise. Not so to those who have heard and evaluated its performance in single and successive occasions. The years achievement of the orchestra, of fifty players, has conclusively demonstrated its notable enterprise. It is a singularly praiseworthy institution, an eminent force in the cultural ac- tivity of the college. Its public offerings have consisted mainly of concerts, With soloists contributing to the variety of the entertainment. The first concert of the year was that of November 5. This was followed, in December, by the eminent musical event of the year, the concert sponsored by the alumnae, With the orchestra in support of the Metropolitan Opera singers, Bernice Ripley, Genya Poldi, Robert Ripley, and Don Enrico Clausi. Other concerts, With student soloists, have been given by the orchestra. In all of these occasions the performances have been received With well earned acclaim.
