BY EMILIE FRANCES BAUER. . NEW YORK, May 26. (Special.) Ossip Gabrilowltsch closed his series of three orchestral con certs at Aeolian Hall before an audi ence which filled every corner of that concert room and from which almost as many people were turned away. The manner in which these audiences have grown proves conclusively that they . were attracted by the very remarkable showing the eminent Russian made from the opening concert. Gabrilowitsch was systematic In the manner In which he revealed what he had to give. His interpretation of the classics brought to him the respect of musicians and laymen alike. His sec ond programme with his marvelous reading of a Brahms symphony and the jthri.ee wonderful accompaniment sup. plied by Harold Bauer in the Schumann concerto awoke a new class of follow ers, because such a Brahms as he gave, and all without score could only be provided by a man of the greatest and finest equipment, and his last pro gramme was devoted entirely to Rus sian works in which he yielded the baton long enough to have Arnold Volpe accompany his own reading of the Rachmaninoff second concerto. Indeed, Gabrilowitsch had already woven such a spell about those who had rejoiced in the discovery of a new conductor of such compelling powers that they had well-nigh forgotten one of the greatest artist-pianists of all time and his playing of the beautiful concerto was a Joyful reminder of that Gabrilowitsch who brought new stand ards into the pianist's art. He also demonstrated beyond peradventure that In the orchestra GabrUowUscb. merely finds a larger organ upon which to ex press himself. iAll that delightful shading, poetry, elasticity, phrasing, delicacy or crash ing climaxes which he finds and pro duces at the piano he invests in his readings with the orchestra. There is no doubt that he knows how to secure every effect that his feelings require, and his requirements are replendent in color, in musical values. In picturesque imagination, in deep insight, to all of which he brings the superb vitality of his young manhood. Some of the larg est orchestras of this country would be infused with new life with such a conductor at the head, and it Is rather a gratification to realize that while such artists are in this country as Os sip Gabrilowltsch and indeed Walter Rothwell, remembering the latter's achievements of last Summer, no great orchestra need be disbanded, tot the lack of a conductor whose genius is able to shine as brightly as that of any of his predecessors. . The programme of FrM.v nirht i- cluded the overture of Glinka's "Russ ian and Ludmila," the fourth symphony of Tschatkowsky and a evmnhonir poem. "The Sirens." by GHere. which wn. inn or extraordinary color effects, the conductor having read into it such daczling brilliancies as to make the hearer forget to notice whether as a composition it Justified the perform ance. Small wonder that the audience reached the point of cheers for the con ductor who requested his orchestra to share in the recognition. Following the Rachmaninoff concerto. Mr. Volpe was accorded his share of applause and there was a general sense of Joy throughout the evening. The operatic situation does not clar ify as yet. nor will it for some weeks, owing to the fact that there seems to be no especial hurry. Rumors, of course, are rife and there seems to be some basis of truth In many of them. It is a fact that Richard Ordynzkl has been engaged as stage director, re placing Speck. In the matter of con ductors there have been rumors of rad ical changes, such as Pierre Monteux, ..u ATMBte li ? - 1 I U I 1M MEMORY OF "Ml Thee or? G?imrus 51 i '.WKf.t 111 2 i ' INMEjMORTf OF.'

Eugene, May 26. (Special.) Except that . "Wendell Pljllllps" has disap peared from his shelf In VUlard Hall, and that a fir tree planted by the class of 1S86 Is dead, the memorials left by the senior classes of the Uni versity of Oregon from 1881 to 1917 are still intact on the campus. The gifts of the classes include shrubbery, trees, pictures, tablets, busts, a bench, a pulpit, a fountain, a bronxe seal, a ..m dial and loan funds. Because the classes of 1914 and 1915 were encum bered with heavy debts they were un able to leave griris lo mo univermvy. c.tr t irtvlnK did. not start until 18S1. In 1878. when the first class was gradu ated, there were but five members, and th custom of leaving a memorial had not started. Graduates in '81 did start ih. nlnn. The seven members planted a Cedar of Lebanon tree southwest of the now historic Deady - Hall. Miss Ann Whiteaker. the only woman In the class, named the tree. The class of 1882 planed a Liwson cypress tree, now standing In the grove southwest of Deady Hall. An elm tree was planted on the lower campus by the class of 1883. It has grown to be 35 feet high. The normal class which was graduated in the same year built an Iron archway and planted evergreen vines which now entirely cover the arch situated near the elm. Members of the class of '84 left a memorial in the form of a cedar tree 125 feet northwest of Deady. which still bears part of the brass numerals which were attached to it that year. There were but four members of the class of 18S5. Each contributed 12 to a class memorial, -oc JS. Uiey. hired, Mr. Hill, an old resident of Eugene, to take, his wagon and go up tne Aictienzie lor two little trees. He brought back two sugar pines and planted them in boxes. one north and one south of v illard Hall. The class of 1886, after two unsuc cessful efforts to make a tree grow, planted a small Noble fir west of VU lard. Mrs. A. C. Collier, wife of one of the late professors, grew it. . One of the tallest trees on the campus today is the mountain redwood planted by the class of 1S87. The graduates of 1888 . planted a mountain larch Just north of Villard Hall. Classes Of 1889 and 1890 each planted trees. The 1895 class Is responsible for the Initiation of the fern and flower pro cession that has been a part of every commencement exercise since that year. The eight girls in this class organized a secret society known as tne . s. and planted ferns around the steps or Villard under the personal direction of Mrs. Luella Clay Carson. The class of 1897 dedicated what Is now the largest oak on the campus. It Is about 100 feet northeast of Villard. A weatherworn brass plate affixed to the trunk marks the memorial. Members of the class take pride in an abundance of 'mistletoe which yearly covers the top branches. A heavy stone chiseled 1898 rests at the base of a myrtle tree. Clyde V. Fogel and Mrs. Theresa friendly Wachenhelmer. both now residents of New York City, led In the dedication ceremonies. Pictures Glvest for Villard Hall. The class of 1899 presented the uni versity with three reproductions of paintings, which now hang In the lower hall of Villard. Mrs. R. S. Bryson. wife of the Eugene City Recorder, presented the girt following her class oration. The class of 1900 dedicated and placed a piaie on me second largest oak Homer D. Angell. now a Portland law yer, was president of the class, and josepn j-. lyree class orator. The 1901 class placed at the stair landing, between the first and second floors of McClure Hall, a marble tablet inscribed: "In memory of Professor S. E. McClure, by the class of 1901." An enlarged portrait of John W. Johnson, first president of the- unl vereiuvwas let V as the memorial of, the class of 1902. Today it hangs In tha office of President Campbell. The class of 1903 gave to the unl- . verslty four pieces of statuary busts of Daniel Webster. Wendell Phillips. Henry W. Longfellow and Chief Justice John Moore. These pieces, excepting that of Wendell Phillips, which has dis appeared, are mounted on plaster pedestals in the assembly room in Vil lard Hall.. A committee composed of Miss Elma Hendricks. Mrs. Ray Good rich and Dr. J. 11. Gilbert is making an effort to have the Inscription "Pre sented by the class of 1903" placed upon each piece. "Holy Grail" pictures were presented In 1904 and 1905. As far as can be determined, the class of 1906 left no memorial. Student Loan Fnid la Started. In 1907 the memorial routine was broken. Students were needing money to take up a college training, and the hard time occurring in 1907 was a set back. Students already on the campus neded funds. The class members of this year each contributed S 10 to a stu dent loan fund. The 1908 class left the tall clock In. the library as Its memorial. The Gil bert pulpit was left in 1909 as a memorial. The senior bench came In 1910. " It occupies a cozy place beneath one of the largest oak trees on the campus. The graduates of 1911 revived the . plan of 1907 and each contributed S10 to a loan fund. The Interest on the amount was made available for the use of needy students. The fund Is In the hands of Controller I H. Johnson, of the university. The 1912 graduates left a cement seal in the north entrance to Villard Hall. It was planned by the engineering stu dents, who had it cast in Portland. The 1913 class contributed the foun tain on the campus between the library and Deady Hall. The class of 1914 was unable to 1.... a memorial on account of great indebt ness. In 1915 a large sun dial was presented to the university and It now stands on a granite base In front of Johnson Hall. The class of 1916 added approximately $1000 to the loan fund, and the class of 1917 will undertake to furnish a room in the new. women's memorial gymoasium. .
