the incoming boat from Nome, Alaska. He expected

look for John to return here early next week.
The Chemawa String Quartet, at the suggestion of
Supt. Lipps, gave a program of master works last Fri
day evening for members of our faculty. It is not
know positively whether the quartet will be able to
continue its “chamber music” series of concerts this
winter, as it did last year, owing to the business affairs
of Mr. John Dexter, our second violin player. He is
now in Seattle on business and this trip will decide the
matter. We are hoping that the organization may be
able to continue in this class of music for cultural rea
sons.
