On Tuesday evening of this week one OF
the characteristic audiences Of Lexington
in the chapel of Elizabeth Aull
Seminary to enjoy the recital OF Prof.
Leib's class in voice culture, and Miss
Eunice Wray Fulton's class in expression.
In the category of brilliant entertain
ments which have been given in this city
in the past, this one deserves q place
among the best. In fact no better are re-
corded in the honored history Of our
colleges.
Elizabeth Aull was fortunate, indeed,
when it secured the able services of Prof.
Leib. In music circles he ranks high; his
reputation is not confined to the west
alone, but in the conservative east his
fame and talents are highly appreciated.
We are happy to state that he will be
connected with the college another year.
Perhaps Mr.. Leib's ability could be no
better displayed than in the recital OF his
pupils Tuesday evening. Those members
OF his class who contributed to the pleas
ure OF the audience made it apparent that
they had been under the supervision and
instruction of one well qualified to teach
and direct.
Miss Fulton, the elocutionist, also
comes in for share Of praise in reviewing
the work done at the college during the
scholastic year, 1s93-9i. She has reason
to be proud OF the work of her pupils.

been transformed from a work-a-day
place into a scene Of beauty and grandeur
with flowers, pink and blue draperies and
brilliant lights.
The program was orened by an instru'
mental quartet, "Spanishe Taenze," BY
Misses Carthrae. Lower, Mister aud Par

Miss Marguerite Shanks. L. A. s. has
many gifted musicians, but none NOR,
accomplished than Miss Shanks.
Misses Arnold and Ryland followed in

A trio entitled, "Lilt Thine Eyes," wa
then rendered by Misses Field, Arnol
and Ryland. The voices of these youn
ladies blend in perfect harmony, and ha
it not been for n request from Presider
Walton that there be no encores, the

another selection.
The last number on the program was

magnificent vocalist, Mr.. Leib. His who
soul seemed to be embodied in the son,
