'18 An impartial consideration of the merits and ideals of Ellsworth Conserva- tory of Music leads to a just feeling of pride in this Worthy department of our school. While in point of numbers enrolled in its various courses the Ellsworth Conservatory ranks among the largest in the Middle West, mere numbers alone are not a proper criterion by which to judge a school. The worth of any educa- tional institution depends upon the efficiency of its faculty and the standards of excellence maintained in the work of its students. The student who desires a thorough musical education will find here instruction fully abreast of the highest modern standards. Full courses in piano, voice violin and the various phases of musical theory are offered here. The director, Professor A. E. Bullock, is considered one of the finest instruc- tors in the country. He is a graduate of Oberlin Conservatory of Music and a pupil in piano of Bounamici and in voice of Vannini at Florence, Italy. He has many years of successful teaching to his credit andpaffords this school a pre- eminence rarely found in similar institutions. - The violin department is under the able supervision of Professor Charlotte Maxson, an honored graduate of New England Conservatory of Music and na student of Phoenix Winternit and Emanual Ondricek of Boston. Miss Maxson .has demonstrated her ability as a violinist in her excellent leadership of the col- lege orchestra and in her Red Cross recital. She also appeared with Glen Drake, a

Mrs. Bullock, teacher of piano and theory, is a graduate of Ellsworth Con- servatory and a student for several years at Oberlin. She is recognized as an excellent musician and a very able instructor. Miss Ruth Elliot, assistant instructor in piano and theory, is a pianist of more than ordinary ability. She, likewise, is a graduate and post-graduate student of Ellsworth. Excellent chorus Work is carried on by means of the Ellsworth College Choral Club. The club maintains an Artists Course which brings to the city some of the leading musicians of the day. The Euterpean Society is an organization of the girls of the school, the pur- pose of which is to promote the study of various musical subjects in a general way. A deep personal interest is maintained by all members of the faculty. Such influences are thrown about a student as are conducive to a broad and thorough musical development. It is the aim of the management to allow graduation only after a good musical and technical foundation has been laid and a knowledge of scientific study has been acquired. That these ideals are achieved and recognized as such by the musical world is proven by the many students who have gone out from the Ellsworth Conservatory of Music and assumed prominent positions in the concert field and teaching profession.
