June 18, 1926 WILMETTE LIFE 33 - Fund Provides for Church Music Chair at Northwestern U. Church music which has not been featured extensively by any American school of music, is to be benefited by a gift of $100,000 from the Carnegie Corporation of New York, President Walter Dill Scott of Northwestern university announced at the last concert of the North Shore Music Festival at Patten gymnasium, Evanston. · The recipient of the notable gift ts the School of Music · of Northwestern university. Thus, the century-old hymnal and the later development of the highly trained church choir will benefit through this gift, as it provides for a special chair in church music at a school of music with reputation seconcl to none. "In order that progress may be made in the development of music in America, intensive work must be carried on in various special fields," President Scott said in his statement. "Relativelv little is heing done in a constructive way to make progress in church music, although the necessity for such progress ts universally recognized. The · Carnegie Corporation of New York has decided tha·t the corporation should do something to promote the fine arts, and to that end is offering financial co-operation to various educational institutions. The corporation has decided that work on church music should be hegun at once and to that end has appropriated · $100,000 for a permanent endowment and has directed that this work shall he carried on, beginning September, 1926, at the School of Music of Northwestern university under the direction of Dean Peter C. Lutkin."
