    I agree with Smith College:

    Smith College marks the centennial of Sergei Rachmaninoff's first public performance in the United States, presented in College Hall in 1909. Events celebrate both Rachmaninoff and Sophie Satin, his cousin, sister-in-law and biographer, who was a member of the Smith faculty from 1943 to 1955.
    :D if you don't have anything nice to say, keep schtum.

    Found this but it's a ladies college so probably not what they are looking for:
    On November 4, 1909 Sergei Rachmaninoff gave his first performance in the United States at Smith College,

    Sorry if I'm a bit dim, but has the question changed? It now says:
    At which American University did Rachmaninov perform in public for the last time?
    2008 wins £4405 2009 wins £7194 2010 wins £9615

    Best wins ever: Laptop, £1000 John Lewis vouchers, PS3, Xbox 360 iPad Mini :beer:
