KEYED TO THESE TIMES The Continuing cQanguage Jjefore the ill-fated attempt to build the Tower of Babel, "the whole earth was of one language, and one speech." Then came the con- founding of language, "that they may not understand one another's speech." With divergent tongues the peoples of the world went their several ways, and their failures to understand one another's speech, and much besides, have been the cause of infinite disaster, of which the wars now tearing mankind itself asunder are the latest tokens. Of the one language and one speech that prevailed before the confusion of tongues an imperishable remnant still exists. That is the speech of music, the language understood by peoples of every tongue. In the world as we look out upon it today, it is more important than ever before that this bond of unity should be preserved. The Boston Symphony Orchestra counts it a privi- lege to contribute as it may to the continuance of this unifying influence. It is a privilege, moreover, in which everyone may share by enrolling as a Friend of the Orchestra and contributing to its financial support. It is the Friends of the Orchestra who make the concerts possible, whether in Boston, Cambridge, New York, Brooklyn, Providence, other New Eng- land cities, or in the West. The Boston Symphony Orchestra is their orchestra. It is the Friends of the Orchestra who maintain the great services now rendered by the Orchestra to music in America, and satisfy the legions to whom music is an essential spiritual and emotional outlet. Under such conditions any gift, large or small, is welcome. REGINALD C. FOSTER, Chairman, Friends of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. ENROLLMENT BLANK To the Trustees of Boston Symphony Orchestra, Inc.

Belmont has reason to be proud of having been through the years the home of so many artists of merit. It has had association with the lives of painters whose names are historic. Winslow Homer, on his many visits to his parents in Belmont, did much work there, and by permissible stretching of the term "Belmont artist," he may be claimed by that town.
