THE CITY OF ITHACA ITUATED at the head of one of that group of lakes in Central New York made famous by the pen of Cooper, is the beautiful city of Ithaca. The city is situated in a region of much beauty, having numerous waterfalls and cascades and picturesque gorges. It is a land of cataracts and waterfalls, of towering cliffs, ravines and gorges, a region that is a continual delight and surprise to the traveler, aiord- ing scenery one would not expect to find east of the Rockies. Ithaca is located in the district known as the Fin- ger Lake Region and at the southern end of Cayuga Lake. It is the region where the Cayugas, one of the six tribes of the Iroquois Nation once flourished. The city lies partially on a plain and partially on three hills on the east, south and west, which almost enclose it. The shores of Cayuga Lake Cforty miles longj are lined with summer cottages and popular summer resorts, in- cluding Stewart Park at Ithaca, Glenwood, Taughan- nock Falls fhigher than Niagaraj, Frontenac Beach, Ladogaglgark, Sheldrake, and many others, all combin- ing to make Ithaca an ideal school and home city. Ithaca is essentially a school town, it being the home of Cornell University with an enrollment of over 6,000 students, a High School property costing nearly i5400,000,. Cascadilla Preparatory School, one of the best equipped grammar schools in the country, a Parochial School, besides the Ithaca Conservatorysof Music and Afliliated Schools. The property of Cornell ITHACA CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC J5 University-is valued at over twenty-five million dollars and its income is over two million dollars. The Uni- versity staif of instruction numbers 507 members. The many cultural advantages of studying in a Uni- versity center with its many broadening and uplifting influences cannot be overestionateol. The city has 'many charitable and public spirited institutions, a new and splendidly equipped hospital, aside from the large Cornell Infirmary, a large Y. M. C. A. building, a Social Service and House League, Children's Home, Old Ladies' Home, Public Library founded by Ezra Cornellg an Associated Char- ities, numerous charitable institutions, and a Civic or- ganization for the purpose of affording play grounds for children and making the streets and parks of the city attractive. There are fifteen churches in Ithaca with a church .property valued at about 31,555,000 Ithaca is provided with an excellent system of water works, gas, electric light plant, electric street railway, eighteen hotels, three daily, five weekly, and two monthly periodicals. The Lehigh Valley, the Del- aware and Lackawanna, the Cayuga Lake, the Elmira, Cortland St Northern run into the city and are con- nected by the electric street railway to within one block of the Conservatory. HISTORY HE Conservatory was organized in 1892 and re- ceived its charter under the laws of the State of New York in 1897. In 1910 the Conservatory was registered with the Board of Regents of the Uni- versity of the State of New York as giving approved instruction in music and elocution. Graduates of the Conservatory are therefore permitted to teach in the schools of New York State without further examina- tion, and students of the Conservatory may be granted 16 YEAR BOOK OF THE credit on graduation courses by the High Schools of New York State for instruction received at the Con- servatory. ' Beginning over thirty years ago in a small home on one of Ithaca's choice resident streets, the school later moved into one of the principal business blocks on State Street where it remained for over ten years. Outgrowing these quarters the Conservatory then purchased its present valuable property. Facing on the largest and most beautiful park of the city, the school enjoys an element of seclusion, at the same time being in the immediate proximity of the principal pub- lic buildings of the city. Facing on the same park are The City High School, The Court House, Odd Fellows' Temple, and three of the city churches, While the Post Office and Y. M. C. A. are distant only a half block. The Conservatory has gradually developed its property until now it includes an Administration Building, Studio Building, Auditorium Building, Band School Building, Martin Hall, four Dormitories, two Sorority Houses and Gymnasium.

As the Ithaca Conservatory is a registered school with the New York State Board of Regents, students may receive as many as twenty-eight credits toward a High School diploma for instruction received at the Con- servatory. For advance credits toward graduation for instruction received elsewhere, see page 16. Students may also enter without having received any previous musical instruction. For entrance in the Academic Department one must have had approxi- mately three years of instruction for the Piano or Vio- lin Course. Special courS9S in the Preparatory and Intermediate Departments, however, enable the ,stu- dent to secure the most thorough course of instruction in .the rudiments of music leading to the Academic Courses. Experience has proven that it is more satis- factory and better results are attained when the pre- paratory work is done at the Conservatory. It is advisable to make application for entrance to the Conservatory as far in advance as possible, us- ing blank forms in the back of this book. Regular Registration Days are appointed for each term. Students registering on other than regular reg- istration days will be charged a Matriculation Fee of One Dollar in the Academic Department, or Fifty Cents in the Preparatory Department. Classification Examinations for Advanced Credit Full credit will be allowed entering students on Conservatory courses for all instruction which they have satisfactorily completed elsewhere, but this N ITHACA CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC t 19 credit can only be allowed through the classification examinations which the student may take at the time of his entrance. Candidates for advanced credit will be admitted to any of these examinations on Saturday preceding the opening of any term, Without fee, upon application to the President, in person or by letter. A fee of 52.50 will be charged for classification exam- inations on dates other than as stated. No student will, under any conditions, be graduated from the Con- servatory who shall not have been regularly enrolled at least one year. Music-Academic Course offered by the High Schools of New York State 1 Young students, who neglect their high school work for music, feel this lack as they rise in their chosen profession but also those students who discon- tinue their music during their high school course can- not expect to compete successfully with the student Whoihas been specializing all these valuable years in music. The following course, copied from the syllabus of the New York State Department of Education, should be of special interest to students expecting to study music. Any New York State High School may award its diploma to any student completing the musical course indicated below at the Ithaca Conservatory of Music if this Course is supplemented by the high school subjects named. As many as twenty-eight Regents credits to- ward a High School Diploma may thus be secured for musical instructiomreceived at the Ithaca Con- servatory of Music. 20 YEAR BOOK OF THE Music-Academic Course Ninth Year ' Tenth Year 4 English, lst year 4 English, 2nd year 2 Chorus Singing and Ru- 5 History diments of Musici 3 Elementary Harmonyx 3 Dictation and Melody 2 History of Music and Writingl' A Appreciationt 4 Music Practice 4 Music Practice 2 Electives 2 E1eCtiV6S 15 Credits 20 Credits Eleventh Year Twelfth Year ' 4 English, 3rd year 4 English, 4th year 5 Foreign Language, lst 5 Foreign Language, 2nd year year 2 Advanced Harmony and 5 History Counterpoint? 4 Music Practice 4 Music Practice 2 Electives 2 Electives - 17 Credits 20 Credits i'fThese subjects may be studied at the Ithaca Conserva- tory of Music but are subject to the regular Regents Ex- aminationx CREDIT FOR MUSIC PRACTICE UNDER THE.

No credit will be granted for the second year of practice unless the pupil, either previous to or during the time of such second year of practice, has taken the course in ear training and melody writing and has passed the Regents examination in this subject.

INSTRUCTION EGULAR AND SPECIAL COURSES-All students desiring a thorough course of instruction or ex- pecting later to take up the Work professionally, are urged to register for the Regular Course of In- struction in their department as outlined later in this book. These courses of instruction have been ar- ranged by the faculty as the result of years of practical experience and should develop and prepare the stu- dent in a most thorough manner. As a further in- ducement to students to enter the regular courses, the 22 YEAR BOOK OF THE Conservatory offers the instruction of the regular course, as indicated later, at about one-third reduction from the regular rates charged for special instruction in each given subject. It Will be noted that these courses include private and class, theoretical and prac- tical instructiong in fact all the desirable elements of a complete musical education. ' Special courses of instruction, however, are of- fered to those who prefer to devote a less amount of time to their study, and to those Who desire only par- ticular courses for reasons of personal culture, In such cases the student may register at regular rates for Whatever instruction he may desire, and, as far as possible, with the teacher he may select. The theoretical, history and ensemble course, also included in the regular courses are taught in classes of four or more 5 although these subjects may also be studied, by special arrangement, in private instruc- tiong but in such case the student would be obliged to pay an extra fee amounting to the private lesson tui- tion rate for the teacher concerned. Lectures are given during the year on the follow- ing subjects: Musical History, the Violin, Voice Cul- ture, the Pianoforte, Acoustics, Musical Esthetics, etc. A very important part of the student's instruc- tion is that derived from the regular Faculty and Stu- dents' Concerts held throughout the year. Unusual opportunities are also presented of hearing the World's greatest artists, through the concert courses conducted 1n Conservatory Hall, at Cornell University and at the Lyceum Theatre. THE PREPARATORY SCHOOL To meet an ever increasing need for more thorough and broader musical training of children and beginners in music the Preparatory School of the Ith- aca. Conservatory offers uniquely exceptional oppor- tunities at a verylow rate of tuition. Special practice recitals, and public performance occur Weekly for the students in this department. Every pupil is en- X ITHACA CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC 23 couraged to perform at those recitals as often as pos- sible in order that a certain confidence in public play- ing will have been gained during those years when the child is naturally least self-conscious. The Regular Course of study fully prepares for the regular academic Work. The work in theory covers Regents requirements in this subject includ- ing cleffs bass, treble, and tenorg drill on note read- ingg theory and drill on time and rhythmg the con- struction and signature of major, minor, and chro- matic scales, musical terms, signs, and embellish- ments, intervals, etc. The Sight Singing and Dicta- tion Classes quicken the musical hearing, enabling the students to place the pitch of musical tones ac- curately. This training is indispensable to a musi- cian. The class in elementary harmony is a prepara- tiontfor this difficult branch in the academic depart- men . SPECIAL INSTRUCTION Beside the regular course of study special stu- dents are accepted in any subject in which they are interested and thorough instruction given, the price of lessons depending on the teacher chosen. Free Advantages Everyone registered in the Preparatory or Inter- mediate Department at the Conservatory is entitled to the following privileges: Orchestra, Chorus, Folk Dancing Class, admission to all Student Recitals and the privilege of playing in them when prepared, and ad- mission to all Faculty Concerts. Also any enrolled student has all the social advantages of the Depart- ments, such as admission to membership in the Juve- nile Musical Club and the privilege of attending all parties, such as the HalloWe'en Party, Christmas Party, or May Party. The following graduation course in the Prepara- tory Department must be completed before the stu- dent can receive an absolute classification as a Fresh- 24 YEAR BOOK OF THE man in the Academic Department.

The course in the Intermediate Department is so arranged that two years of Work will be equivalent to and receive the same credit as the Freshman year of the regular full course, so that a student having passed successfully through the In- termediate Course Will be able to graduate from the Conservatory in three years thereafter instead of in four years, as the regular course demands. I The rate of tuition for the Intermediate Course is precisely one-half that of the regular tuition for the.Freshman Year, namely S8-7 .50 per term. This entitles each student to one private lesson in the chosen subgect with an assistant teacher, the first term, one pnivate lesson With the director of the de- I ITHACA CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC 25 partment, the second term, and three of the regular classes for the Freshman year, besides the regular free advantages offered to all students in the Con- servatory. Since it is now possible to cover a full term of academic Work in the summer, many students prefer to do all the class Work required in the third or sum- mer term and take their private Work during the school year, thus having more time for practice and less conflict with school Work. This seems to be an excellent plan when it can be done in that Way. Un- der any plan, however, when one term's academic class Work has been covered and the corresponding private Work, the pupil is entitled to a Grade I In- termediate Department Certiiicate and When the first year academic Work is completed in full, a cer- tificate completing the Intermediate Department is granted. X Certificates are granted upon the completion of the Preparatory Department, upon completion of the Intermediate Department, and also upon the com- pletion of each grade-in these departments. A special catalogue dealing in detail with the Preparatory and Intermediate Schools, will be sent to any address upon request. ACADEMIC SCHOOL Graduation All of the Academic Courses have been arranged on the credit basis and graduation will be granted when the required number of credits are secured. This plan of graduation is now in use in nearly all of the colleges, universities and higher schools of learn- ingg and the Ithaca Conservatory of Music has adopted the same in order that the courses in music and other Conservatory studies may also be properly standardized. Each credit represents one class period per week successfully carried through one term of seventeen rcveeks. Double credit is allowed for private instruc- ion. 1 26 YEAR BOOK OF THE Post-Graduate Courses The Ithaca Conservatory awards two special di- plomas for post-graduate workg one for teachers and one for artists. While the time necessary for the com- pletion of these courses may be approximately stated as one year for the teachers and two years for the artists course, it depends largely upon the talent and diligence of the individual student. The test of abil- ity in the teachers' post-graduate course will be evi- dences shown of unusually clear understanding of the general principles governing the acquisition of tech- nique and styleg a sound and thorough knowledge of the literature of music and its special uses in teachingg an intellectual and analytically critical attitude to- wards the whole art of musicg and a sympathetic un- derstanding of the needs of less advanced students. Artists' diplomas will be granted only to students who have proven their ability in successful recital work both as soloists, ensemble players and accompa- nists. The capacity to interpret musical compositions of importance .successfully Without the aid of a teacher will be considered a test of eligibility for an artist's diploma. Diplomas are granted on the satisfactroy comple- tion of any of the full courses. Certificates are granted upon the satisfactory completion of certain grades of courses. l ITHACA CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC 27 MUSIC FESTIVAL h a n d I SIX-DAY COMMUNITY INSTITUTE At the Ithaca Conservatory and Affiliated Schools April 20 to April 25, 1925 For Teachers of Music, Elocution, Dramatics, Public School Music, Physical Education, Dancing.

Third Term The Third Term of the School Year is only ten Weeks in length 5 but the term's schedule is so ar- ranged that practically the same amount of work is covered as during the other seventeen Week terms. In order that the stipulated amount of instruction may be satisfactorily completed, during the ten Weeks, the student receives practically double the usual number of private and class lessons each Week throughout the Third Term. A five-Week vacation intervenes between the close of the Third Term and the opening of the Fall Term. - Summer School Session THE SHORT SIX-WEEK SUMMER COURSE is in- tended for those who desire a short but thorough course of drill and coaching on repertoire or review Work. Nearly all of the instruction consists of priv- ate lessons and the course can thus be adapted to the student's particular desires and needs. This course will grant Three Private Lessons each week, also two class theoretical lessons each Week. If interested send for the Special Summer School Catalogue. ITHACA CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC 31 EXAMINATIONS EGULAR EXAMINATIONS will be held during the next to the last week of each term, See School Calendar. The term mark of each student will be governed by the results of his examinations, class work and attendance at the following ratio on the basis of 100 credits: Examinations, 40Z,g class work, 6079. Marks are computed at the end of each month. A mark of 60 is required to secure creditg between 50 and 60 is a condition, which may be worked off during the month following the examination. A term mark of below 60 will necessitate the taking of the subject again at a subsequent term, with the exception of conditioned students who are able to work off their conditions during the following month as indicated above. All students in the academic and post-graduate departments are required to sign the report card con- taining their marks each month. This must be done at the office during regular office hours after the first of each month. Whenever desired these monthly re- ports will also be sent to the parents' address for their inspection. CONDITION EXAMINATIONS will be held in all sub- jects during the fourth week of each term. Students conditioned during the examinations' of the previous term will have an opportunity at this time to remove their conditions. A fee of two dollars per each- ex- amination is charged the student for each condition examination taken. Scholarship Examinations The Ithaca Conservatory of Music grants each year a limited number of free scholarships in all Dc- partments and Affiliated Schools. The object of these scholarships is to help deserving students who are financially unable to obtain a Conservatory education. They are awarded through competitive examinations, held in September before a' Committee of the Con- a 32 YEAR BOOK OF THE servatory Faculty. No fixed standard of excellence is required for admission to these examinations. In granting the scholarships, the committee endeavors to favor natural ability, rather than mechanical skill, so that often the 'applicant with little or no previous training has an even chance with others much further advanced, technically.. Application blanks for these examinations are furnished upon request. All scholarships are granted for one term of in- struction. At the close of the term, those scholarship students who have earned the highest term marks will receive a renewal of their scholarship for the follow- ing term. One full and three partial scholarships are thus renewed each term in each department or de- partmental school. Each scholarship grants instruction which at regular rates would cost over one hundred dollars and these scholarships under the above conditions can be renewed from year to year throughout the course. Free instruction, amounting to 3l2,000, is granted through Conservatory Scholarships to talented and needy students each year. Over two thousand stu- dents have now been assisted to a profession through this scholarship assistance. ' Music Festival The Annual Music Festival under the auspices of the Ithaca Conservatory will begin on the evening of April 23rd, 1925. Five programs will be given on Thursday, Friday and Saturday afternoons. The Music Festival will thus constitute the closing events of the Annual Community Institute. Details of the programs to be given and the special soloists will be announced later. Prizes and Medals l The School has established eight gold medals to be awarded each yearg-one in each of the Afliliated Schools and one in each of the following musical de- ITHACA CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC 33 partments: Piano, Violin and Voice. These medals are granted through competition to the student pre- senting the most artistic renditions of solo, recitation or the conducting of chorus, orchestra or bandg or, in the School of Physical Education, through such physi- cal or athletic competition as may be indicated each year. The final competition shall be public and is open only to Juniors and Seniors. The competitions are dated separately by each School or Department during the Spring Term and the Medals will be awarded as a part of the annual Com- mencement Exercises. Students desiring to compete for School Medals must hand their names to the dean of their department not later than April lst.

New and better organs are con- stantly being installed in the various churches, and greater demands are being made for good organists. The moving-picture theatres are offering remunera- tive employment, and municipal organs and public organ concerts are becoming increasingly important. A succeessful organist obtains considerable prestige and musical standing in his own community, and has many good opportunities to demonstrate his musician- ship, thus securing many friends and perhaps adding to the enrollment of his class. The modern organ with its light and flexible action in no way interferes with good piano playing, but rather supplements it. Courses of Study There is no phase of musical study that makes more insistent demands for real solid musicianship than is required of the successful organist. Our courses are planned to meet all of these demands. They ITHACA CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC 39 are thorough and Well-balanced. It is possible for the talented student to graduate in both piano and organ by taking the four-year organ course of study outlined below and the regular piano course at the same time, all of the historical and theoretical courses counting for graduation in both instruments. All Work for finger or Wrist technic is taken in the class in piano technic Q'I'echnic a-b-c-d-e-f-g and hh. Problems of distinctly oran technic are handled in the organ c ass.

The cost of the Organ Course is the same as the Piano Course. See page 36. P THE VIOLIN COURSE CESAR THOMSON W. GRANT EGBERT H. C. Hnss RUTH G. STANTON BLANCHE BERGER SARA MARSH LYNN BOGART FRANK HARRIS HE,Violin- Course includes systematic and pro- gressive training from the beginning to a finished playing of the greatest master works for the in- strument. Technic .alone is not the real goal, but with- out an adequate amount, the greatest genius is unable to freely express himself, and so often the stumbling block in the way of violinists is the lack of adequate bow and finger technic. Therefore, the incomparable methods of Thom- son and Sevcik have been adopted both as to ma- terial used and its proper application to the individ- ual needs of each student. Approximately three years' study from the be- ginning may be considered necessary in which to complete the preparatory courses before entrance to the four-year Academic Course. A working knowledge of at least the first live pfnsitions required for admission to the Freshman c ass. The regular course for graduation in Violin in- cludes two parallel courses taken simultaneouslyg a study of the Violin, its technique and literature, and a general theoretical course, including Theory, Ear Training, Sight Reading, Harmony, Form and Analy- sis, Piano, English Literature, Musical History, En- semble and Orchestral Playing.

Normal Course for Teachers. Ensemble.-The ensemble Work will include the study of Duets, Trios, Quartettes and Sonatas with Pianoforte. After the preparatory course students are admitted to one of the Symphony Orchestras. There is an increasing demand in Public Schools for con- ductors of Orchestras and Bands who are also prepared to teach such instruments as are usedhin these organizations. To meet- this need, special courses are oiered to prepare students for this important work. ORCHESTRA A large orchestra is sustained for the purpose of giving those studying these instruments orchestral practice and, at suitable intervals during the sea- son, taking part in concerts given at the Conserva- tory and elsewhere. The Work of the orchestra in- cludes, in addition to the study and performance of orchestral compositions, the playing of orchestral accompaniments to concertos, and solos for piano, voice and violin. - Players of the Violoncello, Double Bass, Flute, Reed and Percussion instruments, are encouraged to apply for admission to the orchestra and to regis- ter With the director of the orchestra if necessary, for instruction on their instruments.

VOICE CULTURE AND THE ART OF SINGING BERT ROGERS LYON, Director ALBERT EDMUND BROWN JOSEPHINE LAUREN ' HE importance of a broad, cultural musicianship to a singer is too evident to be dwelt upon. The Ithaca Conservatory offers one of the most com- prehensive vocal courses to be found in any school in the country. Every possible opportunity is offered the student to acquine technical and interpretative knowledge in his chosen field and to make of himself a symmetrically equipped artist. R No one can fully perceive the beauties of a lan- guage if his ear fails to catch its characteristic soundsg he cannot easily study its literature if he cannot read, nor have a deep appreciation of it, if he understands nothing of its history, its laws, its construction. Re- ,., ITHACA CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC 45 alizing this, a thorough course in the theoretical branches is given. The study of piano, French, Italian, German, ensemble singing, concert deportment and -a Normal Class are also included, thus laying a broad solid foundation upon which to build. The firmer this is made, the finer the super-structure the singer can raise. . Freshman Year Correct position and poise of the body. Thorough study of correct breathing and breath control, upon which free emission of tone depends. I ' h glse of resonators fmouth, nasal and head cavities and c est . Elementary essentials of interpretation. ' Elementary vocal exercises by standard Writers. Purity and Clarity of Diction. Simpler forms of English and Italian Songs. Singing in preparatory recitals. 1 Sophomore Year More advanced technic. Continued attention to breathing, Working always toward freedom and purity of tone and a homogeneous scale. Interpretation, tone color. More advanced vocal exercises. I Songs of medium diiiiculty in English and Italian. A Singing in preparatory recitals. Junior Year All subjects in the preceding years continued and dee veloped. Study of recitative, oratorio and opera. Ensemble singing, duets, trios, quartets, etc. English, Italian and French songs. Frequent appearance in recital. Senior Year Advanced technic, Coloratura, ornamentation. Ensemble Singing. Teachers' Training Class. The work of this year will largely consist of the study of the great Classical, Romantic and Modern Songs and Arias. Frequent appearances in recitals and concerts. Post-Graduate Courses When a student has completed the Academic course and has received his diploma, the finest period 'asv 46 YEAR BOOK OF THE for further musical development is immediately at hand. The foundation has been laid, the fundamentals mastered, and the student can now devote his time to an extension of his repertoire, and to a wider survey of the various styles and schools comprised in the art of singing with the end in view either of public per- formance of these works, or of acquiring the facility of imparting his knowledge of them to others. The Conservatory oiers two special diplomas for post- graduate workg one for artists and one for teachers.

While not neglecting piano solos, the work relates primarily to the learning of the correct meth- ods of accompanying vocal and instrumental solos. Special attention is paid to the accompanying of choruses. Through an arrangement with our violin, voice and expression departments, the students taking this course have many opportunities of rehearsing with violinists, singers and readers. The touch and techni- cal methods deal especially with the production of a sympathetic tone, blending with the solo instrument or voice. Elementary instruction is given in violin playing and voice culture, in order that the student may have a practical knowledge of the technical Work of the soloist Whom he is accompanying. Two foreign lan- guages are studied, to enable the student to play the accompaniment of songs sung in other languages than English with an understanding of the meaning of the text. A familiarity with the best literature for the vio- lin and the voice is included in the course, and emphasis is placed on rapid reading of music at sight.

TEWKSBURY FORRESTINE BROWN JOSEPHINE LAUREN HE primary aim of the Theoretical Course in the Ithaca Conservatory is to promote in the student a really musicianly attitude towards his own work in particular and towards the art in general. In no course of study, musical or otherwise, have more radical changes of method taken place during the last twenty years than in that of Harmony The old methods of teaching this subject made it for the 54 YEAR BOOK OF THE average student, not especially gifted with creative ability, almost meaningless, dry and unprofitable. Modern pedagogical standards applied to the problem of theoretical instruction in music have brought about a recognition of the fact that the student should un- dergo a process of development along three separate lines throughout his course of study in theory and harmony. Of first and paramount importance is the training of the earg the development of the powers of perception for differences of musical effect, variations of pitch, of rhythm, and of timbre or tone quality, and of harmony. To serve this first end the Ithaca Con- servatory course, besides requiring two years of special class work in ear training, purports to keep tlie'Etudent's attention perpetually centered upon this aspect of musical theory. Of scarcely secondary im- portance to the study of harmony is the development of the intellectual power of analysis of musical struc- ture. The third purpose of the theoretical work in the School is to lead the student gradually to the acquire- ment of a really sound technique in musical composi- tion. And in this connection it should be understood that in all the courses from the beginning to the most advanced stages as much emphasis as seems practic- able will be laid on original compositions.

The value of music as a regular part of the Public School Music curriculum is no longer debatable as is shown by the increasing demand for Well trained teachers in this particular field. Recognizing the fact that the training of supervis- ors and teachers of music must be as thorough and complete as that required by other professions, the Ithaca Institution of Public School Music has es- tablished a four-year course of preparatory instruc- tion. For the same reason the professional training in musical subjects has been supplemented by an aca- demic background in cultural and pedagogical instruc- tion of collegiate grade. This course should enable the student to enter upon his duties with the consciousness that he is fully as Well prepared for his life Work as the other specialists with Whom he will be associated. By attending two summer sessions of ten Weeks each, the student's progress may be accelerated sothat it is pos- sible to complete the four years Work in three years. In presenting the four-year course, the Ithaca Institu- tion of Public School Music is conforming to the re- quirements of the National Music Supervisors Associa- tion Which Were. unanimously approved by over 800 members. Its final adoption by State authorities and leading Institutions of instruction is assured. The Ithaca Institution of Public School Music is thus enabled to include in this four-year course all of the instruction demanded as preparation for the super- vision of public school music by any State Department of Instruction. p A feature of this Work which is of special importance to the student is the opportunity for observation and practice teaching. This is required of all students in the course, thus furnishing practical contact with act- ITHACA CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC 63 ual school room conditionsg a most Valuable experience and training for the prospective teacher and super- visor. The clemanol for qualified teachers at the present time greatly exceeds the supply. The pupils also have an advantage in securing positions after graduation since the Ithaca Conserva- tory course is approved by the New York State De- partment of Education as meeting the professional re- quirements for teaching music in the public schools of the State. Certificates to teach music in the State are issued by the State Department only on proper appli- cation through a superintenident- of schools after one has been assured of a position. As a part of the instruction the student is made familiar with all texts used in the teaching of Public School Music, and upon graduation is prepared to teach under any system in any State.

'u- 64 YEAR BOOK OF THE THE WILLIAMS SCHOOL OF EXPRESSION AND DRAMATIC ART HERE is no calling or station, no association of business or social life, but feels the stimulating and refining effects of a course in the art of ex- pression. And in these days of skill in debate and dis- cussion, of platform and class-room lecturing, of after- dinner speeches and anniversary orators, a course of study in Public Speaking is becoming more of a neces- sity. The private citizen as well as the professional man is called upon to speak in public. Is it not Worth while then-Whatever the profession may be-to ac- quire an easy, natural, forcible, distinct habit of speech, to become an effective public speaker? Even though your profession does not demand your speaking in public, Will it not mean much to you to be able to stand before an audience and, with satis- faction to yourself and pleasure to your hearers, state What you feel, believe and know regarding the literary, social and political questions of the day? The aim of instruction in Public Speaking should be to help the student in attaining this culture in a thorough and natural Way. The School of Expression at the Ithaca Conservatory seeks to develop not the voice alone, nor the gesticulating powers themselves, but the whole man, and teach him to express his thoughts, feelings and convictions through his own in- dividual and ideal character. The instruction is from the first to the last practical. We Wish you to make the most of yourself. The classes deal with every- thing that is concerned with the art of speaking in public and with that alone. The Williams School of Expression and Dramatic Art was organized by Mr. Geo. C. Williams in 1897. Year by year it has grown in influence and numbers until 1t is now regarded as one of the leading schools of Expression in this country.

It furnishes the most Wholesome and uplifting form of entertainment available to the public. Together with the summer Chautauqua, the Lyceum is now working hand in hand with the church and school as a great institution of learning and inspira- tion. The Lyceum in very fact is the People's Forum. Through the Lyceum the best thoughts of the age are brought direct to the people by the greatest living speakers and statesmen. Through the Lyceum the people are able to hear at a very nominal cost nearly all of the great artists. The most noted preachers, statesmen, musicians, teachers, authors and doctors have found the Lyceum to be a most eiective means of conveying their message to the people. Truly the Ly- ceum is a great and glorious field of endeavor Worthy of the efforts of any man or woman. There is a definite place for a school where stu- dents, talented and ambitious, can study music, the entertainment arts and public speaking in an atmos- phere Where there is full recognition of professional requirements. The subjects taught in such a school must be supplemented by a training that gives the art student poise, and a sense of social values, a knowledge of crowd psychology and platform technique. To all this must be added a knowledge of and sympathy with social and art movements. By mastering the courses oiered, the student will bring to his profession an efficient and broad personality. The Chautauqua, Lyceum and Concert audiences are composed of ire-side folk, who desire programs of the line arts presented by fine people of culture and attainment. The motto is, Fire-side folk, fire- side programs by tire-side artists. No real, success- fuliperformer for American audiences can be an in- dlvidual intellectually isolated by the atmosphere of ITHACA CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC 67 one art. Culture is broad today. It involves manners, conduct and social service, as Well as technical skill. The contact between audience and artist is very inti- mate in the American communities, and any lack of sympathy With social or ethical standards spells de- feat. Good art, even of the story-telling variety, is compounded of many cultural elements. The stage and the movies have lost much of their hold on public confidence, by forgetting the cul- tural standards of American audiences, and using technically skilled artists, who are unwilling to learn The art of living. In the Ithaca Conservatory Schools there is a blending of high social purposes, With intellectual and emotional development. It is never possible for a stu- dent to forget the necessity for correlating all of the personal faculties in an ever developing personality and thus making the specialization of one art the means to express the life's spirit and purpose devoted to bringing pleasureand inspiration to others. The equipment, social atmosphere and faculty spirit com- bine to maintain these ideals. To fully understand our plans, this exposition of our plans and courses of study must be read With these ideals in mind. For twenty-five years the School has organized and toured concert companies, monologue readers, etc., throughout the East, South, Middle-West and Canada. These companies have become so popular that several Lyceum Bureaus each year request the school to coach organizations for their territory. L Courses of Study V The School of Chautauqua and Lyceum Arts of- fers an unusual number of varied and attractive courses of instruction ranging from one to four years in length and carefully planned in preparation for all phases of Lyceum and Chautauqua activities.

Every High School in New York State and several other states is obliged to furnish a course in Physical Training. Nearly all Private and Professional Schools, Normals, Colleges and Universities prescribe a certain amount of Physical Training in every course of instruc- tion offered. This sudden and unusual interest in this most important subject has created a great demand for properly trained teachers and as a result the salaries of Physical Training Teachers are considerably above the average. The course offered in the Ithaca School of Physi- cal Education is unusually broad and varied. This course has been endorsed by the New York State De- partment of Instruction and graduates from this course are privileged to teach in the schools of this State after receiving a permit issued upon application by the State Department of Education at Albany. The Ithaca School of Physical Education offers a Three-Year Normal Course. The equipment of the School of' Physical Educa- tion includes a large well-equipped Gymansium C120 X 65 ft.J, Dormitories, Athletic Field, etc. THREE-YEAR NORMAL COURSE To be eligible to teach physical education in the public schools of New York State, after 1927, a candi- date must have 108 credits. To meet this requirement, the Ithaca School of Physical Education offers a three year course which will give the candidates successfully completing the work, 120 credits. With this preparation, our graduates will be en- titled to teach anywhere in the United States, after re- ceiving a permit from the State Department in which ITHACA CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC 'I7 they Wish to teach. This is obtained by the principal of the school in Which they are to teach, notifying the State Department of their selection. The State De- partment then obtains a copy of the candidate's school record, and issues them a temporary license, their per- manent license depending upon their actual work. Only those students completing the Normal Course outlined in the special catalogue, and approved by the New York State Department of Education at Albany, Who have also fulfilled the entrance requirements idi- ploma 4-year High School course or its equivaentj , will be eligible for the diploma.

All women students, except those resident in their- own homes, or with responsible irela- tives, are required to live in the Conservatory Resi- dence Halls and the Conservatory Sorority Housesg or, when all of these accommodations are filled, in private homes near the school grounds assigned by the Con- servatory Advisor of Women. Requests to be allowed to reside elsewhere will be granted only in very ex- ceptional cases, and in general only to graduate stib dents and those students who may iind it necessary to work for their board and room. The Ithaca Conservatory of Music has developed a dormitory system which is second to none in this country. It is the aim of the school to give these residence halls as much of a home appearanceuand as many home accommodations as possible. In ac- cord with this policy the school has erected and planned a number of comparatively small residence halls, rather than the customary large building with stall-like rooms, and of one design and appearance. The immediate problem with which the school is con- cerned is that of increasing the number of residence halls with suflicient speed to keep pace with the won- derful development and growth of the school. As all of the regular dormitory accommodations are always taken considerably in advance of the opening of the school year, it is advisable for the student to make dormitory reservations as far in advance as possildle. The present dormitory system includes the fol- lowing residence halls: Williams Hall, Egbert Hall, Grifiis Hall, Newman Hall, Sigma Alpha Iota Sorority House, Mu Phi Sorority, and Dormitory of the Martin Institute for Speech Correction. ITHACA CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC 83 PRIVATE HOMES. In order to accommodate stu- dents who desire to enter the Conservatory when the residence halls are filled, the Advisor of Women has selected a few private homes 'near the school grounds where such students may sreside, taking their meals at one of the residence halls near by. Those students residing in private homes are under the same supervision and care of the Advisor of Women as those in the residence halls. The Con- servatory assumes entire control of all accommoda- tions thus appointed in private homes and all busi- ness arrangements for the same must be made at the Conservatory office. FURNISHINGS. All residence halls are heated by steam and lighted by electricity. The rooms are all well furnished. Those residing in the women's dor- mitories should bring the following: napkin ring and napkins, bedding for single bed including 4 sheets, 2 pillow cases, 2 white spreads or cover, blankets and such other covering as desired, dresser scarf, laundry bag, towels. All linen must be marked with owner's name. These articles should be sent far enough in advance to insure arrival be- fore the occupant, unless brought as baggage. THE CULINARY DEPARTMENT. Each residence hall contains a dining-room large enough to serve those residing in the .dormitoryg also a number of students lodged in nearby private homes. The culinary de- partment is in charge of an experienced dietitian. who both plans the daily menus and gives special at- tention to all details connected with the preparation and serving of the food, GOVERNMENT AND SUPERVISION. The Advisor of Women is recognized by the Conservatory authori- ties as the school representative in all matters re- lating to conduct, social life and self-government organizations of the women students.

The matron advises the women students un- YEAR BOOK OF THE ,uf 'n 84 , 1 ' N der hercare and is responsible for the conductqand general social life of the hall which she supervises. STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION. The stul- dents are allowed as large a measure of selfvdirecg' tion as possible through their organization, the Stu-Q dent Government Association. Instead of curtailingl, nearly all the privileges of the students in order to restrain a few, the policy is to refuse' admission to objectionable characters and require the immediate withdrawal of any whose presence is detrimental to the interests of the others. All cases of misconduct among the women students, 'except dishonesty, false registration, etc., are tried before various commit-N tees of the Student Government Associationg and in case the offenses are slight proper penalties are im posed and enforced by the committee themselves. If, however, the offense seems serious enough to re quire official action and be made a matter of Con- servatory record, the Student Government Commit tee, after trying the case, reports its findings and recommends action to the Faculty Committee in Stu- dent Affairs. RESERVATIONS. Dormitory reservations should be made on the regular application form for admission to the Conservatory. Every application for room reservation, whether made by a student already' in residence, or by a candidate for admission to the Residence Halls, must be accompanied by a deposit of 325, otherwise the application is riot registered. If the room assigned be occupied by the applicant, the amount of this deposit is held until the end of the year to cover the return of keys, damage to building or furniture other than 'ordinary wear and tear, and to insure the completion of the lease. If the appli- cation is withdrawn for sufficient reason beyond the control of the student before August 15th, the de- posit will be returned. After that date no deposits will be returned. All reservations are made for the school year unless otherwise stipulated. 4 X. M ff I A ITHACA CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC 85 ASSIGNMENT OF ROOMS. Rooms are assigned strictly in the order of application.

The Alumni Association each year elects four from its membership to 'the Board of Trustees of the Conservatory, and thus it maintains and exerts an important and vital influence on the growth and development of the Alma Mater. - The Alumni Association has also taken charge of the de- velopment and maintenance' of the Conservatory Li- brary, and several other very important school problems. The Alumni Association meets each year on the day following the Commencement Exercises. The exercises of the day generally consist of the Alumni Business meeting, an Alumni Program, an after- noon's Outing on the Lake, and the Annual Alumni Banquet.

The Amards The principal society of the School of Expression is the Amards, a fraternal organization which, for a number of years, has done much for the students and the school. The Amards have their own Chapter Room, which is furnished in a most comfortable and attractive manner. This room is available to the Amards at all times, not only for their regular meet- ings, but also for all social functions, for study, pract- ice purposes, etc. The Amards number among their Honorary Members, many prominent people, among Whom is the famous actor and lecturer, Frederick Warde, and the well known Shakespearian actor, Walter Hampden, the prominent dramatist, Charles Rann Kennedy, the noted actress, Edith Wynne Matthison and the well known Lyceum artists, Adrian N ewens and Mrs. Fenetta Sargent Haskell. The Amard Fraternity offers the possibility of three degrees to the ambitious student. The first, the Supernumerary Degree, is purely social in its nature, but in order to secure the the second, or Amard degree the student must first attain a definite standard of scholarship' in the school. The Star, or Gamma Phi Mu Degree, is an Honorary Order conferred on only a very few students each year. In other words this is the Phi Beta Kappa of the School of Expression. In order to be considered for election to the Star Degree a student must first gain a high rating as to character, scholarship and loyalty and must have received a special honor in connection with at least one of these requirements. Aside from their regular meetings, the Amards have established the following annual Social Func- tions, Whichare leading events on the Social Calendar 92 YEAR BOOK OF THE of the school,-I-IalloWe'en Ball, Twelfth Night Revels, Annual Sleigh Ride, and the Spring Picnic. Mid-Week and Commencement Week Festivities Mid-Week, the closing Week of the First Term, and Commencement Week, the closing week of the school year, are given up almost entirely to social functions. The Mid-Week events usually consist of a con- cert by the Choral Club, the Junior Ball, a concert by the Orchestral Association, the Amard's Dra- matic Presentation at the Lyceum Theatre, the Soph- omore Stunt-fest, and numerous social functions by the Conservatory sororities and fraternity. The Commencement Week events incude an Opera by the Choral Club, the Senior Reception and Ball, the Commencement Play, an Orchestral Con- cert, the Amard. Picnic, the Alumni Reunion and Banquet,-also many class reunions and society gatherings. ' ITHACA CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC 93 CONCERTS NE of the important factors in acquiring a ,musical education is the hearing of good music. Ithaca Conservatory students are particularly fortunate in this respect, as with the completion of Bailey Hall with its seating capacity of 2,500 people the greatest artists and musical or- ganizations are being brought to Ithaca and offered at prices Within thereach of all. In addition to these various concerts a series of monthly concerts by the Conservatory faculty, assisted by the Conservatory Orchestra, are given in the Conservatory Auditorium, which concerts are free to all Conservatory students. Student Concerts are given on the first Tuesday of each month in Conservatory auditorium as Well as a Weekly Recital Tuesday afternoon in the Academic School, and a Saturday morning Recital in the Pre- paratory and Intermediate Departments. On Thurs- day afternoons an Organ Recital is given in Bailey Hall on the great organ by the University Organist. The monthly list of concerts and recitals which students can- hear Without cost is as follows: Every Tuesday afternoon Students Recital in Conservatory Hall 3 every Thursday afternoon, Organ Recital in Bailey Hallg every Saturday morning, Preparatory and Intermediate Recital in Conservatory Hall g and on the Hrst Tuesday of each month, Students' Re- cital at 8:15 in Conservatory Hallg Faculty Concert on the second Tuesdayg School of Expression Re- cital on the third Tuesdayg on the fourth Tuesday a recital by members of the faculty of the Williams School of Expression. 94 YEAR BOOK OF THE Ithaca, with its great University, its splendid Conservatory of Music, fine Preparatory and High Schools, its wonderful natural scenery and cosmo- politan atmosphere make it without doubt one of the most ideal and attractive educational centers the world has to offer. ENTERTAINMENT AND TEACHERS' BUREAU HE ENTERTAINMENT BUREAU is primarily for the benefit of those Conservatory students who are preparing themselves for the concert stage. Through the Entertainment Bureau the Conserva- tory is able to introduce these students to the public, give them experience in concert work, and also fur- nish a means whereby they can defray a portion or all of their expenses. During the past year the En- tertainment Bureau has booked over two hundred concerts for Conservatory students. THE ITHACA CONSERVATORY STUDENTS' CONCERT COMPANIES, composed only of Conservatory students, are sent out each year under the auspices of the En- tertainment Bureau on concert ,tours throughout the country. The Conservatory has extended the tours of these Students' Concert Companies throughout the entire East embracing several months of concert engagements in each of the following states: Penn- sylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, New Jer- sey, Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York and Canada. Extensive concert tours have already been booked for the coming year. The personnel of the compan- ies is changed as often as desirable in order that as ITHACA CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC 95 many students as possible may receive the advant- age of this concert Work. These Concert Companies afford the very best experience to Conservatory stu- dents.,X TEACHERS' BUREAU.-After a pupil has graduated he may find himself, like the young lawyer or doctor, competent, but Without a positon or practice. It was to assist our graduates that the Conservatory Bureau Was organized. Letters are often received from many sources asking the Conservatory to re- commend teachers for colleges, schools, and fami- liesg and in responding We are glad to recommend our own students as soon as they are properly quali- fied. ' V Although the' Ithaca Conservatory of Music makes no guarantee of a teaching position to its graduates, it is generally able to secure good posi- tions for all graduates desiring to teach, provided they are fitted for this profession. For several years the Teachers' Agency associated with the school has been unable to supply teachers for all the schools which have sought Ithaca Conservatory graduates. Each year the Teachers' Agency prepares a descriptive list of the members of the graduating class desiring teaching positions, together with a further list of former graduates desiring to change their location. These lists are mailed to all of the High Schools, Colleges, Universities and Professional Schools of the East, South and Middle West. No registration fee is charged to Conservatory students for membership in this Agencyg but each student is required to pay to the Conservatory 96 YEAR BOOK OF THE Teachers' Agency the usual five per cent commission of the first year's salary for any position secured and accepted. SCHOOL PUBLICATIONS The magazine, entitled The Key-Note, is dis- tinctly a Conservatory publication. While the main part of the magazine is composed of able articles on events of general interest in the musical World, one department is devoted solely to Conservatory mat- ters both among the student and alumni body. The Key-Note, is issued four times each year, in November, February, April and June. Its past has been very successful 3 its future even greater promise. Other Conservatory publications are listed on the last page of this book. CONSERVATORY AUDITORIUM The beautiful new concert hall recently erected by the Conservatory has added greatly to the effic- iency of the school. The auditorium, which is uni- versally pronounced the most beautiful hall in the city, is especially adapted to concert, operatic and dramatic purposes. The acoustics are excellent and the stage is large and Well furnished. The stage is splendidly equipped for all purposes, including the most modern lighting appliances sufficient for the demands of any dramatic production, a splendid set of up-to-date scenery, curtains, dressing-rooms, etc. The seats in the auditorium are removable so the fioor fioor can be used for receptions, socials, dances, etc. ITHACA CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC 97 LIBRARIES The school is developing an excellent library especially adapted to the musical and elocution de- partments. The Alumni Association of the Conserv- atory has this enterprise in charge and under their direction an excellent assortment of books is being placed on the library shelves. Aside from the school library the City Library and the University Library offer the student oppor- tunities for study and investigation that can be found in only a few cities in the country. The City Li- brary, less than two blocks from the school, has a very fine assortment of books and the Library Com- mittee is always ready to add to their lists any books desired by the Conservatory for reference or loan purposes. The Cornell University Library is one of the largest in the country, containing over 400,000 volumes and over 60,000 pamphlets. Conservatory students have free access to all of these libraries. 98 YEAR BOOK OF THE OUTSIDE ADVANTAGES THACA is called The Biggest Little City, and the title is most appropriate, as it oiiers the cul- tural, social and artistic advantages of a large, cosmopolitan city while still retaining the refinement of a city of 17,000 inhabitants and the freedom from the turmoil, distractions and temptations of a com- mercial city. Ithaca is essentially a school and resi- dence city and possesses the intellectual and health- ful atmosphere that naturally accompany such a community. The University each year oifers an extended list of lectures, by the most prominent thinkers from all parts of the World, free to Conservatory students. Once each Week an organ recital with assisting soloists is presented to the public without charge at Sage Chapel. The University also con- ducts two large concert courses for which a very nominal charge is made. The most prominent solo- ists, orchestras, quartettes and musical organiza- tions of the World appear on these courses. On ac- count of being so near to New York City, Ithaca is also favored with the best dramatic presentations in the country which each year come to the Lyceum Theatre. ' The students are in the midst of healthful and helpful surroundings which contribute to their physi- cal, mental and spiritual development. Each year a large Musical ,Festival is held for several days early in the month of May. At this time the large Festival Chorus, supplemented by a large Orchestra and the best soloists to be secured, ITHACA CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC 99 give afternoon and evening programs from the great oratorios and musical masterpieces. SELF HELP 'XExceptional opportunities are offered at Ithaca for the industrious student who finds it necessary to keep his expenses at the school as low as possible. Several students are able to secure a class of stu- dents in the city either for preparatory or coaching instruction while others perform light manual labor in exchange for board and room, which is by far the greatest expense of the student. To the student who is seeking means of self-support Ithaca is very favorable as the city is wealthy, generous, and sym- pathetic with the ambitions of students. Many students assist themselves by caring for lawns, walks, furnaces, bookkeeping, stenography and various kinds of clerical work, serving as sales- men in the stores, canvassing, collecting, and various other occupations. Most of the young women desir- ing to help themselves, secure positions in private homes where they can secure their board and room in return for light housework. These students are not treated like servants, but rather as one of the family and are given the required time for their study and class-work. It is quite necessary, how- ever, in such cases that the student have experience in housework. The Conservatory Matron is able to assist students to such positions and in each case students must secure the endorsement of the matron for any position they may wish to accept. There have been more calls for student help for several years than could be supplied. The school publishes a special booklet dealing with this subject which will be forwarded to any address upon application. 100 YEAR BOOK OF THE MUSIC AND BOOK STORE The Conservatory has provided a music and bookstore for the special advantage of the students. This store is located in the main Conservatory build- ing and is well equipped with sheet music, books, students' supplies and very liberal discounts are al- lowed to all students. The business of the store, however, is not limited to Conservatory students, but is open to the public, and orders bymail will re- ceive prompt attention. CHURCH CI-IOIRS Unusual opportunities are offered to Conserva- tory students in the way of securing practical choir experience in that nearly every church in the city supports a large choir and two of the largest city choirs are under the direction of Conservatory teach- ers. Many of the Conservatory students also sing in the large Sage Chapel Choir at the University which gives a vesper service, composed mostly of music, each Sunday afternoon. Each year, also, several of the prominent Oratorios are presented by the large Music Festival Chorus.
