80Chicago Musical College Catalog
81The Chicago Musical College has just issued its catalog for the summer master school which will be held from June 27 to August 6. The catalog, as everything else emanating from that institution, is beautifully gotten up and will prove most interesting to teachers and to the musical fraternity as well as to laymen at large.

Massie, who is the registrar, and Myron D. Kinsey, who retains his position as assistant manager.

85On the last pages are the rules governing the application for the awarding of fellowships. There will be two examinations for the free fellowships offered for the summer session at the Chicago Musical College. The preliminary examinations will be as follows: Sunday, June 19, at 10 A.M., Percy Grainger Fellowships; at noon, Prof. Auer Fellowships; in the afternoon, M. Boguslawski fellowships, also Leon Sametini; on Monday at 2 P.M., Herbert Witherspoon; Tuesday, June 21, in the morning, Richard Hageman, and in the afternoon, Pasquale Amato; Wednesday, June 22, in the morning, Charles Courboin and in the afternoon, Henry Francis Parks and Florence Hinkle; Thursday afternoon, Charles Demorest. The final examinations will take place Friday and Saturday following the above mentioned days. The exact hours of the finals will be posted on the bulletin board of the college. No application for any of the above-mentioned Fellowships will be accepted after the preliminary examinations have been held. All contestants will be required to take the preliminary examination. The number of contestants for each of the teachers is restricted to fifty. Early application is therefore recommended. In order that there shall be no possible question as to the absolute fairness of the examination, all the contests will be arranged so that the contestants will be unknown to, and unseen by, the judges. Contestants are required to play or sing from memory; they should choose music, the interpretation of which is likely to disclose their gifts to the best advantage. For other rules governing the application for awarding of fellowships, students are advised to communicate with the Registrar of the College at 70 East Van Buren Street, Chicago.

91Following his recent concert in Reading Pa., Paul Althouse arose early the next morning and gave a short recital at eight-thirty for the assembly of children of the Reading High School. Needless to say, the "boy who made good" when he left his home town received an enthusiastic reception.
