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.

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.
