DIRECTOR OF CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC, AND TEACHER OF SINGING Graduated from Oberlin Conservatory of Ml1SiC in 18833 Principal of Musical Depart- inent of New Lyme, COhioJ Institute, 1883- 35-3 Student in Royal Conservatory of Music. Leujzig, lssv-'sag nerlin, Gel-many, isss-'sm ll'-lhil of Delle Sedie, Paris, 18979085 Di- rector of Knox Conservatory of Music, 1885-. ITI-I the present year Knox Conservatory closes the first quarter century of its noisy career. It closes only to flpen again in September with better lung capacity than ever, and If will be able to blow its own horn for at least another twenty- five years. If it has not breath enough, the GALE will blow a while. The Director, Mr. Bentley, is planning great things for the future and certainly the Conservatory will have to go some if It surpasses the 'high standards and attainments of the past. A Humber of changes in the faculty will bring new life and new thought into the school's activities, and with the reputation of the new instructors who have been engaged, little fear is felt re- garding the outcome. It is with regret that some of the old stand-by teachers who have helped 'largely in bringing Knox to Its high standard are permitted to withraw from their work. ?'IOwever, the outlook for next year is bright. The old saying. 'There's just as good fish in the sea as have ever been caught, will surely prove good in this case. The fisherman filling the Knox creel reports more bites than can be attended to. The l3Obber has been pulled under and practically the entire force has been landed on the Knox bank. We trust that these teachers will be able to play their scales with the proper finish and that there will be no scales on their performance. The intimate relationship of college and conservatory is being more closely knitted each year, and there is a fond dream that the college will at no far distant time provide a new home for the conservatory, where the noise, musical and otherwise, of the two Or three hundred students coming and going, talking and singing, pounding and scrapping, may not interfere with the tranquil life Of the Whiting Hall scientists, philosophers and poets, THIRTY-TH REE
