...years the history of the Cleveland Orchestra was chiefly made by three people: John Long Severance, its chief patron; Mrs. Adella Prentiss Hughes, its manager, who first convinced Cleveland that it wanted an orchestra; and Con ductor Nikolai Sokoloff who assembled the musicians, trained them from scratch. Peak of the first 15 years came in 1931 when John Severance gave the Orchestra a $2,500,000-home of its own. Most of his oil & steel fortune was lost not long after that. He could no longer go on contributing largely to the Orchestra's support. The triumvirate...

Like the late Theodore Thomas of Chicago and the late Leopold Damrosch of New York, Conductor Nikolai Sokoloff has been an orchestra-builder. It was he who, shrewd, tireless and ambitious, founded the Cleveland Orchestra 14 years ago with the help of Adella Prentiss Hughes, and who secured for it last year its fine new home, Severance Hall (TIME, Feb. 16, 1931). Last week Nikolai Sokoloff, summering in Westport, Conn., was looking forward to next winter's 15th orchestra season; but he could not look forward to being Cleveland's maestro after May 31, 1933.

...pince-nez on Edward Prentiss Costigan and he looks somewhat like Woodrow Wilson before politics and illness hollowed his long cheeks. Once, when he began practicing law in Denver, he was a Republican. In 1912 he ran for Governor of Colorado on the Bull Moose ticket. Not satisfied with being beaten once, he was beaten again in 1914. Then President Wilson called him to serve on the first U. S. Tariff Commission. Incorrigibly internationalistic, he stayed there until 1928. Colorado's Democrats in 1930 sent him to the Senate where he found himself the last of the Wilsonians. A maverick...
