...interesting as the preceding. A good installment of "Sweet Bells out of June" is followed by "A Free Museum," a description of the Arnold Arboretum. Every Harvard man should read it, for it gives an account of a branch of the work of our University of which we hear little in Cambridge.

There are several themes worked out by the 'cello and the orchestra, and all are very beautiful. Mr. Schroeder played with rare taste and expression; it is seldom that we hear such a good artist on the 'cello. The various themes were played with much feeling and the runs were executed with delicacy and fineness of touch. Mr. Schroeder also played two solos - a Nocturne by Chopin and a Capriccio by Klengel.
