PORTLAND HARTFORD Y.M.C. A. BUILDING HARTFORD SCHOOL OF MUSIC CONGRESS SQUARE 8 SPRING STREET — THE function of the Boston Symphony Orchestra always has been to provide music of the highest class in the most perfect manner humanly possible. Such was the sole object of its founder, and that this ideal has been not only attained, but maintained, finds eloquent testimony in the generous and loyal support given to the Orchestra by the most discriminating musical publics in America. Only by adhering steadfastly to this ideal since its founda- tion has the Orchestra been able to hold its present position without a superior in the world and without a peer in this country. Commercial considerations have never been permitted to interfere with or to obstruct its artistic progress. It has ex- isted as nearly for art's sake alone as is possible in such a great organization. The result of this wise policy is an orchestra which is famous in all countries where the art of music is practised, an orchestra which is accepted as a model to be fol- lowed by all others, an orchestra whose concerts are eagerly sought by all cities, whose coming is always an event of prime importance in a musical season.
