of the Washington College of
l. Music for the coming season,
according to announcements
recently issued by DR.. Hugh r. Roberts,
president of the college. Although the
past year. the twenty-sixth of the col
lege's existence, was unusually sue
cessful, especially in the establishment
of the college in its new home on S
street, there Is definite reorganization
going on at the present time.
In the first place, DR.. Roberts states
that there will be no heads of the vari-
Gus school departments. Each teacher
is chosen carefully for his or her indi-
vidual ability and supremity in some
one phase of musical training. Various
additions have been made to the faculty
and some designations have been
accepted.
Another outstanding interesting phase
Of the changes in the colleges curriculum
Is the opening of classes for foreign stu
dents. This departure from purely
civic plans has received the formal
approval of the State Department of
the United States Government. In
accordance with this arrangement, stu
dents may come to the college from
foreign countries without being sub
the annual quota. They may. remain
in the United States for the period of
their study with the college. 1t has
long been the custom for American
students to be admitted to schools in
foreign countries. Now the reverse
opportunity is offered foreign students
in the National Capital of the United
States. During this Summer, while
three of the instructors of the colleges
reorganized faculty, Julia Schelling
Emanuel Zelin and Henri Smidt-Gre-
oh will hold
Der of additions for students who may
desire to return to America with them
for study at the Washington College Of
Music.
New members of the schools faculty
Just announced include Miss Schelling
Mr.. Gregor, Miksa Merson and Henri
Sokolov.
Miss Schelling will give three courses
of lectures for the coming year, one on
Opera" one on instruments OF the
Orchestra" and the third General
Music History" course. Fer the second
of these, Miss Schelling will use. in con-
junction with her own material, the re-
markable collection of slides owned by
her distinguished brother, Ernest Schell-
ing. famous pianist and composer.
Miss Schellihg is we'll known for lit
erary contributions in a leading music
magazine and Is distinguished as a lee
turer and pianist, both here and in
Europe This Summer while abroad she
will lecture at Bayreuth on the Wag
merriam operas. These are the first ever
given there in English. The invitation
to present this course was extended to
Miss Schelling by Siegfried Wagner
The lecturer is being assisted in this
series of 81 lectures by Count Gravina,
a Continental pianist of note, and
grandson of Franz List.
During her stay in Bayreuth. Miss
Schelling will entertain Mr., and Mrs
Fritz Kreisler, Mr.. and Mrs. Ernest
Schelling and others. DR.. Felix Schell-
ing, the other distinguished member Of
her family, is in this country as head
of the department of English at the
University of Pennsylvania. Before re-
