ECOGNIZING the demand in our Western country for the highest order of musical culture, the President has taken the utmost pains to secure, regardless of expense, the best available talent in Europe and America. . The Conservatory aims to furnish facilities equal in every particular to those of the best conservatories of the Old World. With this design, the President has selected a Faculty who have been specially trained under the best masters in this Country and Europe, and whose fitness has been tested by long and successful experiences. PROF. MARION F. DUNWODY, Dii'ector. Professor Dunwody comes to us most highly recom- mended. He is a graduate of the Royal Conservatory of Music, Leipsig, Germany, having been for two years a pu- pil of the celebrated Dr. Carl Reinecke. The following are some of the good things said of him by those who know him: As teacher of Piano Music in this institution Prof. Marion F. Dun- wody has given entire satisfaction and great pleasure as well. Among musical critics in this city he is considered a master in his profession, both in respect to high culture and brilliant execution. As a teacher he is faithful, highly successful, and universally popular With his stu- dents. His native refinement and gentlemanly bearing fit him peculiarly for teaching young women and render him a most agreeable comrade in school work. I take pleasure in making these statements concerning him. R. T. VANN, President The Baptist Female University, Raleigh, N orth Carolina. Professor Dunwody is an excellent pianist. You would seldom find his superior as a performer. He is also very popular among his pupils. And rarest of all, for one who has the musical genius, he is discreet. I believe, as a musician, and as a pleasant man to work With, and as a popular teacher and director of music, you would find him not only competent, but a very desirable man. J. L.

Dunwody, of Raleigh, North Carolina, for the directorship of the musical depart- ment of your college. I am quite sure that if you offer Mr. Dunwody the position, and It is accepted, you will find you have every reason for self-congratulation. I have known Mr. Dunwody intimately for a considerable number of years, and have never had the privilege of knowing a man more lovable, frank, generous and sincere. As a musi- cian, Mr. Dunwodyls talents are far above the average. He had a dis- tinguished academical career in Europe, and each position he has occupied since his return to America has been retained by him for several years, an incontestible proof that his services were found sat- isfactory. As a concert performer, Mr. Dunwody has always met with success, and I consider he possesses special gifts as a teacher. He has energy, considerable tact, unfailing good humor, and a most engaging personality. ALFRED COWELL GOODWIN, Professor Piano, Peabody Conservatory of Music, Baltimore, M d. Your letter of the 18th inst, regarding Mr. M. F. Dunwody, Raleigh, North Carolina, is received, and in reply to same, beg to say that I have known Mr. Dunwody from the time he was a student at the Conservatory, Leipzig, Germany. He is an accomplished musician, most excellent pianist, successful teacher, and a perfect gentleman. I consider him one of the best musicians in this country, and can heartily recommend him for the position of Director of your insti- tution. Mr. Dunwody is not only a splendid musician, but an all- round educated man, and a fine character. BRUNO MICHAELIs, Director of Music, H ollinsi Institute, H ollins, V a. In answer to your letter of the 18th inst., will say: Marion F. Dunwody is a very fine musician and pianist. He has had the very best schooling in America, and later in Leipzig, Germany, for five years, and a pupil of Carl Reinecke. Mr. Dunwody is an excellent teacher, and well qualified to be a Director of a Conservatory for young ladies. He is a gentleman and has always deported himself becoming a man in his position. CLARENCE DE VAUX ROYER, Professor Violin, Ithaca Conservatory of Music, Ithaca, New Y ark. MISS NANNIE R. HO'OPER. Miss Hooper began her musical studies early in life under the direction of her mother, who herself was a gifted musician. After studying with some of the best teachers of this country, and after an experience of several years teaching, she went abroad and studied for two years with some of the foremost teachers of Europe. She comes to us highly recommended as the following testimonials will show : 3I
