Summary: We compute completely isometric representations of quotients of the operator algebra $\Shift_d$ generated by the $d$-shift introduced by Arveson. This gives rise to a higher dimensional generalization of Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation theory. Quotients of $\Shift_d$ of dimension~$r$ admit a completely isometric representation by \Mp{r\times r}matrices. There is an efficient criterion to decide whether an \Mp{r}dimensional algebra of \Mp{r\times r}matrices is a quotient of $\Shift_d$.
