 been heard to say was an object worthy of his life's work. In this institution he has taken a lively interest up to the present time, and his donations to the building fund have much exceeded in amount those of any other single subscriber. This circumstance has been acknowledged by the Committee on various occasions: notably at the laying of the foundation stone of the College, when he was chosen to present the trowel to H.R.H. the Duke of Edinburgh, and the south-east portion of the edifice has been named "The Waterhouse Wing." For some years past Mr. Waterhouse has resided in England, but it is well-known that he largely assists many colonial institutions. He is represented in South Australia by his son, Mr. Arthur Waterhouse. 

Immanuel Gotthold Reimann AS born in 1859 at Hahndorf, and educated at Hahndorf School. After having devoted some time to the study of music, he was appointed music-master to Hahndorf College in 1875, and in the following year took up his residence in Adelaide as a teacher of music. Later on Herr Reimann left for Europe, and was for some years a student at the Berlin Academy of Music, conducted by Prof. Dr. Th. Kullak (Pianist to the Emperor of Germany), and at the Berlin Conservatory of Music, directed by Prof. Xaver Scharwenka (Pianist to the Austrian Emperor). From both institutions Herr Reimann holds very flattering diplomas, Prof. Dr. Kullak repeatedly offering him a situation as teacher at his Academy. After having successfully passed an examination in Musical Pedagogy under Dr. Bischoff, Herr Reimann studied Musical Theory with Professors Dom, Rhode, Wüerst, P. Scharwenka, and Alb. Becker. In October, 1883, he opened the first College of Music in this city, and so far the support accorded to the enterprise has been very encouraging.
