It is indeed a matter of much congratulation that this talented young musicians Commemorative March" should be accepted and placed ,n a programme together with num- oers by Professor Parker and other equally prominent composers It was played at the Hyperion exercises We'd lesday. The march was finely con- ,tructed and reflected great honor upon ts composer.

It S hoped that the composition may be leard upon another occasion when it an be fully appreciated. MT. Smith is . son of MT. and Mrs. H. H. Smith of Toledo, O.
