Mr. Issay Mitnitzrv M USIC Our good, strong Music Faculty remains much the tame as recorded m the last ear Book, with the addition of Miss Marion Louise Pratt as a most charming and capable teacher of harp; and of Miss Ruby Belle Nason. the very successful organist at the James Theatre, as the assistant teacher of piano. The recital programs given on the following pages will show ' something of the char- acter of the work done. Our field is increasing, and the best of reports come from those who have specialized in music, so that we are assured of the success of the girls who follow faithfully the instruction of these unusual teachers. This year we add. another graduate to the Musical Alumnae. Harriet Taylor. One very great advantage to those working in artistic lines is to meet artists, to catch something of their vision, and to come to a realization that, after all. our idols are human bemgs who have worked untiringly. It has been our great privilege the last two years to hear, to meet, and even to known well one of the greatest of violinists, Mr. Issay Mitnitzky, the brother of our very talented piano teacher. In April of last year Mr. Issay made his first visit to Colum- bus and was greeted as one of the great ones of the world. The Misses Wallace gave a formal reception at the school that others might have the opportunity of meeting one so celebrated. He returned for a concert on April 27, which vas even more delightful than that of last year. Nothing could be more lovely than this one which has a stronger appeal to our hearts and memories because we have had the privilege of knowing better this very kind gentleman. We understand something of his attitude of reverence toward his art which forbids his giving anything but his very best effort. His sincerity and honesty in his work, the consecration of his life, has given to us a new appreciation of the conditions and possibilities of large service to humanity. To hear Mr. Issay Mitnitzky is to realize that we have heard one of the greatest artists of our century, and to carry that memory and that inspiration through life. 28
