1t is customary at Lexington col
lege to have the annual recital by
the musical faculty soon after the
opening of the school year. This is
in every respect a good custom, as it
acquaints the public with the abili-
ties of the various teachers atan early
date and also removes certain
sense of responsibility from the minds
of the teachers.
Tt esday evening was the time
set for this years recital and al
though the weather was disagreeably
warm, thecollege chapel was filled to

audience 1t listened attentively to
all the numbers and encored every
performer.

director of the school of music, APP
peared twice on the program and
also played two accompaniments for
the violin numbers. 1t was fore

the audience and he more than came
up to expectations. He is thorough
musician and has fine technique for
piano playing. The Brahms Rhap-
sodie he gave with delightful inter
probation. The scales in it he
executed with remarkable clearness
As an encore he played a cradle song.
In the Rubiustein Valse many
thought he gave his most brilliant
work since he came to Lexington,
The arpeggios we're delivered with
wonderful freedom and ease.
