75MUSICAL COURIER
76Curtis Institute Dean Returns to Philadelphia
77A three-months' trip abroad which brought her in contact with the musicians and music-lovers of six countries has convinced Grace Spofford, dean of the Curtis Institute of Music, Philadelphia, that cancellation of the trip proposed for next year by Leopold Stokowski and the Philadelphia Orchestra will be a source of deep disappointment to artistic Europe.
78Miss Spofford returned to Philadelphia early in September, and upon her arrival stated:
79"Everywhere I went—Holland, Belgium, Germany, Italy, France and England—the trip of the orchestra was anticipated with the keenest enthusiasm both by musicians and laymen. I know from many personal conversations that regret at the postponement will be widespread and genuine.
80"If we are ever to achieve international understanding I feel sure it must come through the mutual interchange of thought between artists. For this reason I am looking forward to the time when the Curtis Institute of Music will announce the establishment of international scholarships. These will provide an opportunity for young men and women of other countries to come here to Philadelphia as students of the world-famous masters at our school.
81"Already in Europe there is general knowledge of the Curtis Institute of Music and its aims. I was amazed at the number of people who were familiar with the name of our school and our plan of teaching. This is due in great part, of course, to the fact that many of our faculty members return to the Continent at the close of our school term.

84GRACE H. SPOFFORD,
85dean of the Curtis Institute of Music, who has just returned from a three months' trip abroad.
87For instance, Josef Hofmann, head of the piano department, is now playing in concerts in England and Scotland; Carl Flesch, head of our violin department, returns each summer to Germany, where he continues to teach. One of his most promising pupils at the Institute was brought by Mr. Flesch from abroad. Mme. Charles Cahier, of the faculty of the vocal department, has just concluded her European tour in concert and opera. Down in Italy, Rosario Scalero is working in composition with several Curtis pupils. Carlos Salzedo, director of the harp department, and Louis Bailly, head of the viola department, are both French and return each summer to their homes.
88"Up in Normandy at Abbeville lives Renee Longy-Miquelle, whom I visited during my trip, and I went especially to London to call the conference of members of the composition and theory department, many of whom will be new to each other. There I found Professor Reginald O. Morris and his assistant, Herbert W. Sumson, preparing to sail to begin their work in the direction of the theory department at the school. Mme. Longy-Miquelle is also a newcomer next season as instructor in solfège, and the conference gave the future associates an opportunity to know each other and also to meet Ethel Drummond, who will remain as an instructor in harmony.
89"It is easy to understand why artists of this character, touching as they do a wide circle of acquaintances, have familiarized Europe with our school to such an extent. But the thing that seems most amazing to the foreign mind is the fact that the Curtis Institute is small—that we do not care to enroll more than 250 students, and that such an equipment and teaching staff as ours should be dedicated to the training of a comparatively small number. To Europeans it was apparently inconceivable that an American institution should not strive to be the 'biggest' as well as 'the best.' There was tremendous interest expressed concerning the personality of Mrs. Bok, the founder, who has had the artistic vision to concentrate on quality.
90"The fact that we are willing to develop artistry in our students by slow degrees and that the basis of our judgment is the quality of their achievement rather than quantity production, was a revelation. It convinced me anew that if we are ever to attain international understanding it must be through the humanizing influence of art, rather than by the machinations of politicians."
91During her trip Miss Spofford visited conservatories in Paris, Brussels, Munich, Vienna, Rome and Geneva.
93Saslavsky to Sing at Washington Festival
94Boris Saslawsky's first appearance of the season will be at the music festival to be held at the Library of Congress, Washington, October 8. He will sing a group of Russian songs arranged by Gedike for baritone with trio accompaniment.
