NOTABLE ADDITIONS
To be Made to School of Music
Faculty this Summer.

Tive Celebrated Masters to Appear
here rs Teachers Something about
the School and the Progress which
it is Making "A very Large Atten-
dance Expected.
The summer term of the School
of Music promises to be the most
i'm portant undertaking that has been
attempted In its history. Never
before has such an aggregation of
distinguished and pr. mioent teach
crs # music heen brought together
to teach in Tie stale. TINS has been
accomplished because Dean Wright
son determined when he undertook
to hold a Summer term for the
Scnooi that he should have facul-
ty With ability that could vie with
any summer course in the country.
When we hear the names OF the mu-'
sicians who have associated their
names with him, it is very easy for
US to see that it would be a hard
thing for any School or University to
beat the combination.
The School of Music of West Vir
ginia University is rapidly becom-
ing a powerful institution. 1t has
gained in the last nine months not
only an eviable reputation in our
own state, but throughout the en-
tire country. Hardly week passes
by that the musical papers and
mag azines, of both the East and the
West, do not have some article OF a
flattering nature concerning 1t.
Although one would think it impos
sible to improve on tire already ex
celleut faculty that it has, it is
good thing for any institution to
have visiting teachers and artists
come to teach for short period.
There will beSuo excuse for any
body in the state going anywhere
this summer to study music except
to their own University, and it is a
very sure thing that a great many
from the neiehboring states will
grasp the opportunity that is offered
them.
The two musicians who are com
ing here to teach in connection with
Dean Wrightson are men OF nation
al reputation. We have already had
the pleasure OF hearing Mr.. John
Porter Lawrence, who will be the
instructor on the Piano and Pipe
Organ He came to Morgantown
for Recital and created most fav-
orable impression. He is the Direc
tor of the Piano Department in the
National Park Seminary, and Organ
ist of the New York avenue Presby
terrain Church. Washington, ID. Z.
He was one of the chosen organ9sts
of the country at the Buffalo Pan
American Exposition concerts. He
is a wonderful teacher and bril-
liant pianist, which is proven by
the fac. that he took one nj the
hardest prizes offered abroad when
he won the Helping Prize' ut
