the generosity of Colonel Henry l..
Higginson of Boston, a graduate of

Boston Symphony orchestra have been
secured. The provisional programme
as adopted, provides for an organ re-
cital Sunday evening, October 90; for
an orchestral concert Tuesday after
noon, October %, by the Boston Sym
phony orchestra, under the leadership
of it's conductor, Mr., Gericke; for or
chestral and choral music in connec-

cises on Wednesday morning, October
%; and for a full choral performance

Mansfield, II; William A. Coffin, "a;
Robert w. DeForest, II, and Pierre

possible of the works of Trumbull, the
most important of which were be-
queathed to the college by the painter,
and form the nucleus of the paintings
in the South gallery of the Yale school
of the Fine Arts. The paintings of
