For example, your life insurance can very easily be arranged to provide life-long support for your widow plus a substantial inheritance for your children. In Shawmut's Personal Trust Department we would be glad to discuss your complete insurance program . with you, your life insurance counsellor and your attorney, or simply write for a copy of our brochure "A Modern Life Insurance Program."

Jean Stanley Jones of the Institute has provided the following comments: "The Institute of Contemporary Art drew its first breath in 1936 . and is continuing after 21 years to develop its place in the New England community. The Institute presents and interprets contemporary art and design through exhibition, publication, lectures, films and other media.

He first came to the United States in 1930 as violist in the London String Quartet, with which (With apologies to all poets) group he also toured this country when it was reorganized. In 1938, he became first viola with the NBC Orchestra in New York. He has devoted a large part [1219] . ; of his time in recent seasons to appear- ances as solo viola and in chamber music, assisting in the Chamber Music Department of the Berkshire Music Center in 1947. In 1952 he was made Commander of the Order of the British Empire. He has appeared with the Boston Sym- phony Orchestra in Berlioz' "Harold in Italy" in 1944 and 1952, and also in Bloch's Viola Suite (1944), and Bartok's Viola Concerto (1952).

Old Colony suggested he use part of the principal to set up a trust for his children, thereby lowering his own income tax, and reducing the inheritance tax his children would have to pay. Helping you to get all the tax savings to which you are entitled is always a pleasant task for Old Colony's officers. You and your lawyer are invited to talk with them. The financial wisdom — and human understanding — that you find at Old Colony can help you in all phases of your estate planning. You're invited to write for the free booklet, "Wills and Trusts."

BOSTON • CHESTNUT HILL [1224] SYMPHONY IN C MAJOR (Kochel No. 425) By Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Born at Salzburg, January 27, 1756; died at Vienna, December 5, 1791 This Symphony, generally assumed to be the one which was written at Linz in November, 1783, was first performed on the fourth of that month, at the palace of Count Thun. It is scored for 2 oboes, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani and strings. The symphony has been performed by this Orchestra November 17, 1882, March 16, 1900, November 19, 1920, and February 7, 1947 (Leonard Bernstein conducting). tn Vienna, where Mozart spent the last ten years of his life, composing *- according to needs, his genius found its full fruition in a quantity of great works. They embrace his finest string quartets and quintets and his piano concertos in numbers; also his five great operas in the buffo style. It must be a reflection on Viennese taste, or lack of musical perception, that he seems never to have been asked to compose a symphony in Vienna. Of the three great symphonies of 1788 there is no record either of commission or performance.

    INFORMATION TO USERS While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this manuscript, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. For example: • Manuscript pages may have indistinct print. In such cases, the best available copy has been filmed. • Manuscripts may not always be complete. In such cases, a note will indicate that it is not possible to obtain missing pages. • Copyrighted material may have been removed from the manuscript. In such cases, a note will indicate the deletion. Oversize materials (e.g., maps, drawings, and charts) are photographed by sectioning the original, beginning at the upper left-hand corner and continuing from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. Each oversize page is also filmed as one exposure and is available, for an additional charge, as a standard 35mm slide or as a 17”x 23" black and white photographic print. Most photographs reproduce acceptably on positive microfilm or microfiche but lack the clarity on xerographic copies made from the microfilm.
