Georgetown Orchestra has been no exception to
this rule. But after fifteen years of existence

Is felt. During its life the Georgetown Orches-
ira has prepared for and anticipated the pres

organization with such long period OF I'M
interrupted existence. Prof. Josef Kaspar,
the present conductor, assumed the baton
when the orchestra was on the verge
Of dissolution, but he brought it out of Its
difficulties. and during his administration he
has succeeded by hard and intelligent work in
bringing it TO such a state OF excellence that to-
day 1t is regarded as the finest amateur band
in the country. Its work last season was warmly
praised not only by the local critics. but by in
telligent musicians from abroad and this year
II will show a marked improvement over last.
