In 1903 she came to Washington and entered the State College from which she received her Bachelor of Science Degree in 1908.

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.

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.
