LEILA WALL HUNT. Leila Wall Hunt took her A. B. Degree from Virginia Institute in 1903. Thereafter she followed the teaching pro¬ fession for two years. In 1903 she came to Washington and entered the State College from which she received her Bachelor of Science Degree in 1908. Following her graduation she was elected to an instructorship in the Department of Domestic Science from which she had graduated. LIONEL GITTELSON. A more thoroughly trained violinist than Lionel Gittelson would be hard to find. Mr. Gittelson is an executant of ex¬ ceptional ability, and as he possesses a polished technic and a finished style, and has at command a large repertory, he is particularly well equipped as a pedagogue. He first studied in New York under Leopold Lichtenberg for eight years. This great teacher, the pupil of Wieniawski, at once recognized Gittelson’s exceptional talent, and watched his development with unusual interest. Under Lichtenberg’s tutelage the young violinist acquired a solid foundation and a thorough knowledge of interpretation. He then went to Europe for a finishing course under Joachim, Wirth and Cesar Thomson, and with these masters studied assiduously for several years. Having studied under the greatest exponents of the German and French schools of violin playing, and absorbed the best in each, Gittelson is an all ’round, a symmetrically developed artist. He possesses that uncommon faculty, invaluable in a teacher, of being able to impart to others that which he himself knows. KARL E. TUNBURG. Mr. Tunburg has been identified with the music world from early boyhood, having had seven years of piano instruction previous to his graduation from High School in 1892. He was a student at the University of Nebraska, 1892 and 1893, and in the Nebraska Conservatory of Music, 1893 to 1893. The next two years were spent in private work under E. M. Jones, (Scharwenka), Omaha. Mr. Tunburg studied in the Stern’s Conservatory, Berlin, 1900-’0I, and was a private pupil of Franz Kullak, Royal Prussian Professor of Music, from Sept¬ ember ' 01 to January 1903, and has a diploma from Kullak. While in Berlin, Mr. Tunburg studied harmony and com¬ position with Director Wilhelm Berger and Director Eduard Behm, and the theory and history of music with Max Loe- wenjard and Dr. Leopold Schmidt. Before coming to Pullman Mr. Tunburg had ten years ex¬ perience as a teacher, eight years of which was private and the last two years with the Lincoln Conservatory of Music and the Northwestern Conservatory. Connected with this was consider¬ able experience in concert work in various states and in the direction of bands and orchestras. FRANK MELVILLE WARNER. Frank Melville Warner was a student at Oberlin College for the year ’02-’03. He entered the University of Wisconsin in 1903 where he took his B. S. Degree in 1907. He held the position of instructor in drawing in discriptive geometry at the University of Wisconsin, ’07-’08. Later in the same year he was with the Freeport Gas Company which position he held until September, ’08, when he was elected instructor in Mech¬ anical Engineering in the State College of Washington. 12
