Today, 122 years ago, Ossian Everett Mills founded the Sinfonia Club at the New England Conservatory and had their first meeting on October 6th, 1898.
This club would later become the Alpha Chapter and would later see itself become the world’s oldest and largest music fraternity. To all brothers, from the Pi Psi chapter and beyond, Happy Founders Day!
“It is a truism that as long as man loves but himself and his art he can never attain to the full measure of manhood or reach the sublimest heights of his art. He must seek to love men as brothers and art, not for the sake of art itself, but art as a means toward bringing all men up to that verdant plateau where their souls may be fed in very rejoicing in all that is true, beautiful, and abiding.”
