boat. He then drops it just over the
object. When it is directly over the
article the fisherman in the boat

the surface with the octopus.

Violin, Has Created « Very
Favorable Impression
i_
it is already evident that in Herr
Herbst, the new instructor of violin,
the College has acquired the services
of an accomplished musician and a
thorough master of the violin. His
playing at the first vesper service
and at chapel last week was enthusi
astically received and created a very
favorable Impression!

HERR HERBST
lle'ii- Herbst's career as a violinist
reads like a fairy tale. 11.- was born
nt Muelhausen, Germany, and from
early childhood his one wish was to
become a violinist. In his sixth ear
he' mother gave him a toy violin as a
Christmas present, hut he immedi
ately broken it into- pieces, as he
wanted a large violin. Then his
father, who was a cabinetmaker,
made him a child-size violin and here
began bis career as a violinist. His
exceptional musical ability immedi
ately showed itself. He played only
by ear, but he could, ami did, repro
duce any and all music that he heard,
One day tie- 'cellist in the- city orchas
tra 'if Muelhausen ( heard him play
and offered to tutor him. Even then
Herr Herbst did not learn to read
music, as his Instructor taught him
to play by first playing the exercise
for his pupil and then having him
rely upon his ear to reproduce the
exercise. Herr Herbst went through
the entire Henning school in thi.,
manner,
After finishing grade school at the
age of 14, Herr Herbst went into ap
prenticeship in the city orchestra in
his homo town. As yet his marvel
ous genius was unnoticed and he was
given to the bass viol player as bis
pupil. It was her.- that, he learned,
to play by note, for tip to this time
he had played entirely by ear. It is
the custom In Germany for each city
orchestra player to learn two instru
ments, so Herr Herbst learned to
play the cornet and made excellent
progress upon this Instrument. He
soon became an exceptional player
and was well known as a eornetist.
During the first pari of his appren
ticeship his main Instrument was the
cornet, but he still had a yearning
to be a violinist and kept up his vio
lin work by himself and was soon
ploying solo violin in the orchestra.
Up to the age of 20 he had had no
regular instructor, but while soloist
iv the- city orchestra he was heard by
Professor Tiez of the Conservatory of
Gotha, who asked him to come and
study at the conservatory. He was
soon given th position of director of
the city orchestra and this made a
year's study at Gotha possible. At
one of the concerts at Muelhausen
Dr. Kuhnwald. up to recently director
of the Phil-Harmonica orchestra In
Berlin, heard Herr Herbst n ay an'}
Immediately offered him a position
under him at Cera Halle. This was
his first position In an opera or
chestra!. It v, as during this engage
ment that he played before Halier,
then the best student of 'oachlmi
who told him to go to Berlin an '
study under Joachim. The extraordi
nary ability of Herr Herbst had be
come known and he was given a free
scholarship to study under Joachim.
After spending some time under him,
' he was appointed concert-tr.elster at
Elfort, where he remained one year.
From this time on he held a position
as soloist In several court theaters,
being offered life contracts at Co
burg, Got and Weimar, had he
cared to stay. Ho was offered his
life contract at Weimar, from where
he came to America, which is consid
ered a remarkable achievement, is
1 the usual length of time before a li 1
' contract la offered is not less than
three years.
Herr Herbst has played in many
different parts of Europe, acting a.
soloist In orchestras in Sweden,
Switzerland and in all parts of Ger
many. During the latter part of his
career he gave private instruction.
He had pupil, everywhere, and be
came widely known over Germany as
a soloist and instructor. He was al
ways a careful listener of good vio
linists and it is due" to this faculty
together with his natural ability, that
he owes his training. His ideal vio
linist is Marteau, having heard him
play many times.
The new Instructor is a great ad
mirer of the classical composer, bul
does not limit himself to the classics
His repertoire is exceedingly large,
due to his wonderful ability to com
mit and then remember. The violin
which he now has is a genuine Italian
instrument, having been made by
Rogerius in 1674.
The College is indeed fortunate in
securing the- services of a man of
such a national reputation, and the
people who have heard him here cer
tainly agree that he will bring forth
great results from the violin depart
ment.
