Albert Augustus Stanley. + ROFESSOR ALBERT A. STANLEY was born on the twenty-'dfth of May, 1851, in the state of Rhode Island. When he was ive years old his family moved from Manville, his birthplace, to Slaterville, which is sixteen miles from Providence. Here he first attended school. He received instruction upon the piano from a Providence teacher, but prefer,-ed to practice upon the organ. The instrument which tl1e boy was permitted to use for this purpose was that upon which Professor Frieze had played at Slaterville when helping himself through Brown University. At the age of fourteen, young Stanley was organist in a Congregational venteen he was placed in charge of the large 01-gan in the Church of the Mediator, in Providence, and it soon became evident that he musical career. Wishing to give himself the best advant- ages in the way of a musical education, he availed himself of such advanced instruction as could be obtained at home and laid plans for a thorough course in Germany. In 1871 he went to Leipzig to enter the Royal Conservatory. Mr. Stanley remained in Leipzig four years, receiving instruction in both the theory and the practice of music from the distinguished men then con- nected with the Conservatory. He won the confidence and respect of his pro- f ssors who sent pupils to him. In this way it came about that he gave e a lessons in music in the very room which Schumann, when in Leipzig, had used church. At se was destined for a as a study. Returning to America in 1875, he accepted a position in a ladies' college as teacher of music. In December of the same year he married Miss Emma F. Bullock, of Randolph, Massachusetts, who, having been a friend of his youth, had become also the ideal of his manhood. After one year of pleasant work at Delaware, a very favorable otler came from Pro- vidence, to which he now returned, assuming the position of organist at Grace Church. In 1888 he was induced to leave Providence again to come to the University of Michigan as professor of music. Of Mr. Stanley's work at the University it is ditiicnlt to write. During the six years of his connection with the institution he has shown himself alike at Delaware, Ohio, 4 -17-
