Webster avenue, the classes were transferred in 1850. As the student body increased from year to year, more spacious rooms and grounds were necessary. This necessity was satis- fied in 1894, when the Academy found itself in the healthful and pleasant atmosphere of 3333 Fifth avenue. Here, for thirty years, the edifice, designed in French Renaissance, raised its towers and turrets far above the smoke and din of the city. But the night of October 24, 1924, witnessed the building aflame, and the grey dawn looked on its ruin. After this calamity, the convent library, study halls, and parlors accommodated the pupils; then on September 12, 1927, the classes were resumed in the new structure, designed in Col- legiate Gothie.

What is perhaps not realized by many Pittsburghers is the fact that the Pittsburgh Musical Institute is one of the largest and most progressive music schools in the country. As a music school it has been conspicuously successful from its inception. It was incorporated in 1915 with about 150 students and a faculty of 18 teachers. It has grown so rapidly that in 1928 it has more than 2000 students and a faculty of 56 teachers, all specially trained for their work. For the first five years of its existence the Institute was located on Fifth avenue near the Masonic Temple, but in 1921 acquired its own building on its present location at 131-133 Bellefield avenue. Here are 36 teaching rooms and a recital hall with a fine three manual concert organ, and in another part of the building also a smaller organ for practice purposes. For the convenience of pupils living at a distance from headquarters the Institute maintains branch studios at Aliquippa, Am- bridge, Bellevue, Butler, Canonsburg, Crafton (two studios), Dormont, Elizabeth, Monaca, Mount Lebanon, New Ken-
