Defauw To Conduct Chicago,
Symphony Orchestra Here
The Chicago Symphony Orchestra
which will give a concert here at 8:30
p m,. Monday under the auspices of
the University Musical Society is the
third oldest orchestra of this nature
in the country.
The company is made up of accom-
plished musicians under the leader-
ship of Dr. Desire Defauw, who suc-
ceeded to the leadership of the or-
chestra on the death of Dr. Stock,
its second director.
The orchestra has been in exist-
ence fifty three years and is now
starting its fifty-fourth season. This
organization of musicians is unique
in that its present conductor is only
its third.
The organization is controlled by
a governing body of forty men whose
membership is for life. These men ad-
minister the affairs of the organiza-
tion under the name of the Orche-
stral Association.
Because its origin and growth is a
complementary part of the growth
of Chicago and its environs, the

man of the Michigan Nursing Coun-
cil for War Service, will speak on
"Nursing on the Home and Battle-

Local arrangements for the meet-
ing are being conducted by Patricia
Walsh, Washtenaw County repre-
sentative of the state nursing coun-
cil.
"College students in particular are
invited to this meeting," Miss Walsh
stated yesterday, "so that they can
learn about the opportunities for col-
lege graduates in the nursing field.
Even the mildly curious are invited
to attend."
Miss Walsh stated that there were
opportunities for college graduates in
the teaching, psychological, sociolo-
gical, and public health aspects of
nursing in addition to the duties con-
ducted by nurses in hospitals.
"Nursing is the only field open to
women only," she said, "and there-
fore should be of interest to stu-
dents."
A question period will follow the
address, and representatives of the
Nursing Council will be present to
answer any questions.t

Symphony Orchestra is distinctly a
community affair. It makes few out
of town engagements, limiting itself
largely to Chicago and its suburbs.
The fifty-fourth season of the or-
chestra calls for the rendition of 113
concerts, a very few of which will
be given outside of Chicago.
