Columbia correspondence : "The hall of the l'resbyterian College for Women was tilled tonight with one of those brillianl 1 and recherche assemblages ot ?. visitors so characteristic of the audiences at this institution. The . occasion was the graduating re' cital in piano of Miss Margaret t Humphreys, of Lancaster. Most u difficult and classic pieces by ( Had), Schumann. Chopin, Rubenstein and Mendelssohn were 0 rendered in a most finished and masterful style. It is rare that so young an artist receives such an ovation as was given Mist Humphreys. The College is noted i? fur having inspired so many of its music pupils to devote their ltvef to this art and to pursue their studies abroad. Miss Humphrey* ' bids fair to rival tlie best that have gone out from its halls. It i- well the first graduate of music under the new regime of the College should be one whose natural gifts and diligent study t reflects -mdi credit on teachei { and pupil." ??.. !?--. ?
