A ..rw'Q a azhii V ' 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. PROF. MARION F. DUNVVO'D'Y, Director. Professor Dunwody comes to us most highly recom- mended. He is a graduate of the Royal Conservatory of Music, Leipzig, Germany, having been for two years a pupil of the celebrated Dr. Carl Rieineeke. The following are some of the good things said of him by those who know him: 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. KESTER. Professor Science, Georgetown College, Georgetown, Kentucky. THE CONSERVATORY FACULTY The Conservatory aims to furnish facilities equal in every particular to those of the best conservatories of the Old W7orld. 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. As :1 teacher of Piano Music in this institution Prof. Marion 1:. Dunwody has given entire satisfaction and great pleasure as Well. Among musical critics in this eitv he is considered :1 master inshis profession, both in respect to high culture and brilliant t-Xecmiun. As a teacher he is faithful, highly successful. and universally popular with his students. His native relinement :mtl gentlemunly heating ht him peculiarly for teaching young women and render him :1 must agreeable comrade in school work. I take pleasure in makingr tlu-st statements concerning him. R. T. VANN. Prcsidcn! T118 Bulilixt chalv linit'crxfix'.
