The higher or smaller instruments were named by the French "haulx-bois" or "hault- bois" which was transcribed by the Italians into oboe which name is now used in English, German and Italian to distinguish the smallest instrument • In a symphony orchestra, it usually gives the pitch to the other instruments • Is it time for you to take note of your insurance needs? • We welcome the opportunity to analyze your present program and offer our professional service to provide you with intelligent, complete protection.

  • Alexander Henry Higginson Scrapbooks 1899-1926
    Archives & Manuscript Collections National Sporting Library Middleburg, VA Alexander Henry Higginson Scrapbooks 1899-1926 Name: Higginson, Alexander Henry (1876-1958) MC0012 Materials: Scrapbooks Dates: 1899-1926 Volume: 6 cubic feet Donation: Gift of Thomas Marston, 1978 and 1979 Usage: Unless otherwise stated by NSL staff, these records are open for research without restrictions. Biographical Note Alexander Henry Higginson was born on April 2, 1876, the son of prominent Bostonians Major Henry Lee and Ida Agassiz Higginson. A businessman, Henry Lee was a patron of the arts and education in Boston: he donated the land and money for Harvard University’s Soldier Field and the student union. He was best known for the establishment and lifelong patronage of the Boston Symphony. His wife, Ida, was the daughter of famed biologist Jean Louis Agassiz, professor of Natural History at Harvard. Being born into such a family afforded young Alexander many opportunities not enjoyed by many. He received his early education from private tutors because he often misbehaved at school and was often asked to leave. After graduating from the school of John Hopkinson of Boston in 1894, Higginson followed in his father’s footsteps and entered Harvard. He graduated in 1898, having studied mostly science and history in an attempt to become an ornithologist. A specimen-collecting stint for the government in Columbia Falls, Montana in November 1898 quickly erased that idea from his mind. Higginson returned to Massachusetts and settled into the life of a country gentleman at his farm in Lincoln. His ability to do so was due wholly to the efforts of his father, who recognized in the young man an ardor for the sporting life of leisure and little inclination for business.
