 | The orchestra affords an opportunity to acquire orchestral routine to those students of the violin who are able to pass the examination for admission to the orchestra. The most advanced students of piano playing are allowed to rehearse with the orchestra and to perform publicly if fitted to do so in the judgment of the faculty of the de- partment The orchestra is complete and well equipped and is the on'y com potent organization of the kind at the disposal of any educational institution in America
 In connection with the concert the 1 following short sketch of it's growth is given: In November 1894, MT. M. Steinert. with a number of prominent musicians of New Haven decided tc form such an organization. Under MT. Steinert's leadership good orchestra was formed When Professor Parker came to New Haven, becoming interest ed in the orchestra, he accepted the in- Vitation to become conductor of it. IF to this time rehearsals had been held ir Steinelt Hall, but a short time after wards arrangements were made witt the university to hold the concerts ir Alumni Hall Three concerts were giv- en that year under the name of "Ths University Concerts.''
 The following year the organizat or was still more perfected and the seco-6 series of concerts were given in College Street Hall. Among the sololsts al that time were MT. Isidor Troostwyk MT. E. A. Parsons Miss Meta Fellows Mrs. Lines, Professor Sanford and MT Stanley Knight.
 The concerts were given for two sea sons in College Street Hall, and tho large audiences seeming to warrant it they were held in the Hyperion theatel last year. This is the fourth season 0. the concerts. MT. M. Steinert, the founder, is still president of the organ ization and much of it's success is dut to him. Professor Parker has also de voted much time in dr Hing the orcses tra and the work has been entirely un der his charge during the past few years.
