ANNUAL MUSICAL RECITAL.

Most Delightful Recital at Chap
pei Hall Tuesday Night.
One of the most pleasing events of
the commencement week of Dakota
University is the annual musical re-
eital, which is held on Tuesday even
ing of the week of exercises. The
fact that such close attention is paid
TO the matter Of music at the Uni
ycrsity always augers well for the one
night that is devoted entirely to
music. The recital was held at
chapel hall, which is entirely toe
small for the immense crowds that
attend this feature, and we some
times think that the University
wo uld improve on the conditions
which surrounds this event of the
week by holding the recital down
town, where a much larger crowd
could be accommodated, and the
pleasures Of the evening thus farther
extended. On this occasion college
chapel was crowded to it's utmost
capacity.
There was but mi graduate Of the
department. this year, the person be-
ing Miss Perle Richard. Mr.. Fl. B.
Schiller was on the list to graduate
this year but he was prevented by
reason of an extended spell Of sick
ness in the spring which set him
back in his work to a considerable
extent. Miss Richard was prevented
from giving the usual recital by rea-
son of suffering a severe accident to
one of her hands and was unable
therefore to appear on the program
in but one number, the opening Sc
lection.
The first on the program was given
by Miss Richard in which was rem
dered Concerto OPP. 25, No. ], by
Mendelssohn. Accompaniment was
played on the second piano by the H.
BsSchueer Mendelssohn string quartet
Miss Richard played the solo on the
piano with her right hand and Miss
Lee filled in the accompaniment on
the same piano. 1t was a difficult
war in which to render such a num-
Der but it was given in a finished
manner. Miss Richards demonstrated
SO far as she was able with one
hand her capability as a pianist.
Her work shows a thorough cultiva-
ton of technique, a keen insight
into the authors theme and a
splendid execution. The rest of the
program is given below:

In each instance the performers ac-
quilted themselves in a highly
:reditable manner, the selections on
the two pianos being particularly
good. The ladies quartet is entitled
to great praise for their work of the
evening, and their singing was highly
appreciated.
Miss Lee has been at the head Of
The musical department. for several
years and her work is of that char
lcter as to'place a high standard on
1er'aork. She is thorough in her
YORK as is shown by the ability Of
