A burst of applause led him to contribute “Hymn to the Sun” as an encore, played with much feeling, and accompanied by Julius Schendel. Jerome Uhl, of the Chicago opera, came next ro the stage, singing an aria from "Thais” with spontaneous expression and beauty of voice; he had to sing again (a French song by Bem-berg) ; Edgar Bowman played accompaniments. Evelyn Jeane won enthusiastic applause for her clear and belllike soprano voice, singing “Je Yeux Vivre” (Gounod) beautifully. Both singers added greatly to the musical program, which was of highest excellence.

Columbia School Commencement and Other Notes.
The commencement plans of the Columbia School of Music arranged by Clare Osborne Reed, its director, find this institution again offering a series of unusual and interesting events, running over a period of a month. The children’s department will do its share by offering two affairs in the Auditorium Recital Hall. On Saturday afternoon, May 13, will be given the annual children’s May festival. On this occasion the program will be given entirely by children studying under the various teachers who have been selected by the director for a place upon the program. On Saturday afternoon, May 20, will be given a demonstration of the children’s class work, giving examples of the regular work of the children’s classes in sight reading, ear training, improvisation, key board harmony, Dalcroze eurythmics and many original compositions completed by the children themselves in their class.
The academic and collegiate departments have a series of four events, the first being on Sunday afternoon, May 21, in the Playhouse, when soloists from the piano, voice and violin departments—members of the collegiate class—will appear. On Wednesday night, May 31, the twenty-first annual commencement concert, with full orchestra under the direction of Ludwig Becker, will be given in Orchestra Hall. The soloists in the piano department will be Genevieve Davison and Mary Allen, both of whom are studying with Clare Osborne Reed; Anna Hanschmann, a pupil of Helen B. Lawrence, and Ardis Dailey, a pupil of Walter Spry. There will also be soloists from the voice and violin departments, and the school chorus under the direction of Louise St. John Westervelt will complete the program. On Friday night, June 16, in the Gold Room of the Congress Hotel, the awarding of degrees and diplomas will be conferred by Clare Osborne Reed, the director, assisted by members of the faculty.
