This work is being put into the hands of the Fellows and other advanced students who are engaged in studying the latest developments of this subject. Professors Newson and Emch are the recognized authorities in this country on this branch of mathematical science.
School of Fine Arts.
The professors and about twenty students went to Kansas City to hear Paderewski last Monday. Such an opportunity as this makes a landmark in a musical career. To the truly musical and thoughtful student among us such virtuosity should bring not discouragement but an added zest to improve to the utmost whatever talents we may possess. We all err in looking at our chosen art too much from the standpoint of a course to be gotten through in a certain time, with a graduating recital at the close.
Students of music should not fail to attend the Y. W. C. A. concert to be given at Music Hall, Monday, March 16, if for no other reason than that Prof. Preyer will play a solo. It is a matter of regret that we hear our teacher so seldom, since the benefit derived is as great as that obtained from a lesson.
It is to be hoped that the day will come when the work done by a teacher for a pupil will be looked at from a higher standpoint than that of mere a exchange of so much time on the one hand for so many dollars on the other. This is not music but merchandise.
