5New England Conservatory of Music, incorporated in 1870 by a special act of the Legislature of the State of Massachusetts, claims 1853 as the date of its origin, since in that year its founder, Dr. Eben Tourjée, first introduced into America the Conservatory system of musical instruction. In the year 1882, the growing needs of the institution led to the purchase of an estate on Franklin Square, which it occupied until the close of the school year, 1901-2, when it became necessary to seek more ample accommodation. With the opening of the school year 1902-3 the Conservatory took possession of its new building on Huntington Avenue, corner of Gainsborough Street. This building is constructed on the most approved modern plans, is fireproof, and is especially adapted to the needs of a school of music. On the first floor are the business offices, reception rooms, a few class rooms, the music store, and two auditoriums, the basement being given over to the printing-room, tuning department, and electric plant. The larger auditorium, Jordan Hall, is the gift of Eben D. Jordan, and seats over 1000 people. The smaller auditorium, seating over 400, is used for lectures and pupils' recitals. It is equipped with a stage, scenery, and dressing rooms. The second floor of the building contains the musical library and a large number of class rooms. The third floor is devoted to class rooms and to the organ department. The Conservatory possesses a large library and museum. Students are given complete theoretical and practical training in preparation for a professional career. More than 70,000 students had been enrolled up to 1908, at which date GEORGE W.
