Mention has already been made in the news
columns of this journal Of the new appeal put
forth by a committee of the Mendelssohn Glee
Club in behalf Of the MacDowell fund raising
under the auspices of the club. An appeal has
been written by DR.. Henry van Dyke, and to
This has been appended the names Of large
plumber Of gentlemen prominent in musical
literary and business affairs 1t is also stated
that the fund is be administered primarily
sor the support of Edward MacDowell, and sec
ondarily TO perpetuate his name in some httng
manner" To this end il is !ntimated that the
fund committee consisting of Benjamin Prince
Allan Robinson Frederick G. Bourne, Isaac N
Seligman and Herbert l.. Satterlee will coop
crate with the MacDoWen Club in the purchase
of Mr.. MacDowelIs farm home at Peterboro
~. H, and the devotion Of IL to a plan which
Mr.. MacDoweil used TO cherish, as part OF a
scheme TO bring about closer union between
the arts Of music. painting, sculpture, poetry
and architecture. II is proposed to make of the
place "a resting spot for students in all the
srts. where quiet work and close conpanionship
could be had-a modest sum being paid during
residence in order to clear IT Of a possible ac-
cusation of its being charitable institution" :"
Hhe plan seems wholly laudable and designed TO
accomplish the purposes set by the committee.
DIR. van Dykes appeal is eloquent piece Of
writing though il smacks a bit of the hyper
bole which has characterized many Of the ut
terances of the MacDowell Club. TN Edward

best schools of Europe, master OF the Old World
traditions he came home to his native country
an the hower of his youth, and for eighteen
years devoted his genius and his vigor to the
service OF his great art, with the single purpose

OF course, one does not EXPECT strict sdI,erance
TO the verites Of either history or crificis,o IN

music IN poihung out that his was not a voice
