The Graduating Recitals.
The largest class in the history of the School of Fine Arts finished its series of recitals at University Hall last Tuesday night. The month of May was crowded with the musical events, sometimes as many as four recitals a week being given. Notwithstanding, each recital has been crowded, and the wisdom of the change from Music Hall to University Hall has been fully demonstrated. It has been interesting to note the characteristic feature of each recital—how each one has differed from the other, not only in the program, but in the style of interpretation, but the individuality of the graduates. It has likewise been interesting to notice the criticisms of the public. Some liked this recital best, others liked that one, but everybody found much to admire in all. Beginning with Miss Skofstad's and closing with Miss Lapham's, the recitals have all been highly successful from the artistic standpoint, and the fact that the audiences were so large every evening proved the
interest and pleasure of the public. The work of the school of music has been shown to advantage and the variety in the programs, the high quality of the compositions rendered and presented, the differences in interpretation is the strongest evidence of the ability of the instructors in not only giving the best instruction, but in adapting it to the individuality of each student.
