Excerpt from Twenty-Seventh Annual May Festival of the University of Michigan: To Be Held in Hill Auditorium Ann Arbor, Michigan, May 19, 20, 21, 22, 1920 The university musical society is organized under an Act of the State of Michigan, providing for the incorporation of Associations not for pecuniary profit.

Claude Achille Debussey (i862-i9i8) No composer or the organ in recent times has contributed so much to the enrichment of its literature, along lines that combine the best in the old ideals with the most significant features of the modern point of view, as Alexandre Guilmant. His work as teacher was as...
