Class of 1894

Members of the class and others who knew Sammy MacMillen will remember how much of his life he spent as the business manager for his brother Francis, who in a recent note in the New York Times under date of February 9 is spoken of as "the American violinist." Francis has returned to this country after an absence of half a dozen years, during which he had played in Russia and other points East. The Times goes on to say:

"Retaining the figure of youth under alight thatch of becoming gray hair and thefirm step and poise of his service in theWorld War, Mr. MacMillen recalled tomany auditors the debut of nearly thirtyseasons ago, when he first appeared herewith the technical equipment of his student years with Bernard Listemann,Joachim, Thomson Tlesch, and Auer. Nowat 50 he wears the mantle of a musicaldevotee who has matured at leisure, andmade new obeisance to the more serious ofthe classic masters."

At very long last the report of the reunion which was announced last October as about to appear within a month has come out. In spite of the Secretary's stern resolve that he wouldn't wish this job off again on P. Marden, that worthy man had finally to be called upon to read the proof, superintend its progress through the press, and chip in largely against the cost.
