100000 FOR MUSIC STUDY
Bryan Lathrop Wills Fund for School
in Chicago.

Chicago, May ia trust fund OF
100000 to provide for the establish
ment in Chicago of great school Of
music "for the benefit not only Of said
city, but OF all America" was left to
the Chicago Orchestral Association in
the will of Bryan Lathrop. wealthy real
estate broker, fled for probate to-day.
"The city Of Chicago has universities,
museums, technical schools and an un-
surpassed orchestra, but no school Of
music such as the Conservative OF
Paris" says the will. 1T is my opin-
ion that an institution should be found
ed in which can be obtained an educa-
ton in the higher branches Of music
and music composition not inferior TO
that provided in the cities of Europe"
