while doing research, and conduct-
ed negotiations between the Uni-
versity and Stellfield's heir, Ma-
dame von Strydonck.
Prof. Cuyler has held several
positions in national music groups.
She is National Secretary for the
American Musilogical Society, and
is past chairman of the Musicolo-
gy Section of the Music Teacher's
National Association.
"Many of the country's leading
music scholars are active members
of these groups," Prof. Cuyler

commented, "and association with
these people is both rewarding and
stimulating."
For the past six years, Prof. Cuy-
ler has been doing an average of
eight to 10 music reviews yearly
for the Ann Arbor News. She usu-
ally does at least half of the May
Festival coverage and most re-
cently reviewed the local perform-
ances of both the Budapest String
Quartet and the Robert Shaw
Chorale.
"I've always dabbled a bit in
journalism, so I enjoy writing these


reviews. Being critical does ham-
per the enjoyment, but self-disci-
pline will combine both pleasure
and criticism."
AMONG the world's noted musi-
cians and composers, Prof.
Cuyler has come into contact with
Howard Hanson, Emmanuel Bala-
ban. Francesco Malipiero and
Ralph Vaughan Williams.
She knew both Hanson and Bal-
aban during her student days at
Eastman and visited Malipiero in
Italy for three days.

"The Malipiero's told me that I
could get a bus from Padua to
take me to their home in Asolo, 14
miles away. It was in March or
April, and I found out that busses
didn't start running until June.
"So I hired a taxi and I don't
think we went over one road. The
driver went through fields and al-
leys and when we finally got to
Asolo I was so relieved I gave him
a huge tip."
She met Vaughan Williams when
tie lectured here last fall.

Even though Prof. Cuyler ha
such a time-consuming position o
the faculty, she manages to kee
playing. "While I was in Bel
gium, I had fiddle lessons durin
the week."
"Here in town, I get in some vi
olin and piano sonatas every Sun-
day morning with Prof. Maud(
Okkelberg who recently retirec
from the music faculty."
"As for the future, I always let
the future shape itself and not
worry about it. There's so much
ahead that I want to do,"
