Last week, in our write-up Of the
concert given by Baptist College, we
overlooked the name of Miss nellie
Marshall. Such accidents will occur
occasionally, and while we regret it.,
We know that regrets do not mend
matters. Miss Marshall is not only a
graduate from the musical department
of B. F. O., but she has done about
two years postgraduate work, and
reflects much credit on the school.
She is worthy of the degree of NJ. M.
(mistress of music) which has been
bestowed on her.
