The University Musical Society
desires to call attention to the following
Important Announcements
Professor Stanley will give a series of five Analytical Lectures on the May Festival Program in Room C, University Hall, on the following dates:
May 4, 3 p. m., "Caractacus."
May 6, 2 p. m., Symphony Program.
May 6, 3 p. m., Wagner Program.
May 8, 2 p. m., "Caractacus."
May 8, 3 p. m., "Aida."
The University School of Music will hold a Summer1 Session from July 1st to August 14th. Instruction will be given in all departments, but special stress will be laid upon those courses which are adapted to the needs of teachers, as well as those devoted to preparatory work for children. It is felt that many parents who would like to have their children begin their study of music in the school will welcome this opportunity.
Attention is also called to the Course in Public School Methods which will be given this year by Mrs. Kate M. B. Wilson, a teacher of wide experience.
A series of interesting lectures and recitals will be provided, including a stereopticon lecture on Wagner by Professor Stanley.
One, two, or three lessons per week will be given as desired, and special arrangements will be made for those who wish to continue their studies beyond August 14th, or who prefer to commence before the formal opening of the session.
For further particulars regarding terms, arrangements for rooms, pianos, etc., address,
