Dunwody, 't-rtotshio of the musical de- that ii you offer Mr. tit :ou uih 19nd you have e known Mr. Dunwody Q.- 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 musician, Mr. Dunwodyis talents are far above the average. He had a distinguished 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 satisfactory. As a concert performer, IMr. Dun- wody has always met with success, and I consider he possesses special gifts as a teacher. He has energy, considerable tact, unfail- ing good humor, and a most engaging personality. ALFRED COWELL 'GOODWIN. Professor Piano, Peabody Conservatory of MMStC, Baltimore, Maryland. 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 stu- dent 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 coun- try, and can heartily recommend him for the position of Director of your institution. Mr. Dunwody is not only a splendid musician, but an all-round educated man, and a tine character. BRUNO MICHAELIS, Director of Music, Hollimt Institute, H Ollins, Virginia. 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 hve years, and a pupil of Carl Reinecke. Mr. Dunwody is an excellent teacher, and well qualified to be a Director of a Conservatory for youngladies. He is a gentleman and has always deported himself becomlng a man 1n his posltion. CLARENCE DE VAUX ROYER, Professor Vzolm, Ithaca Conservatory of Music, Ithaca. New York. MISS ANNA VIERRA PABEREWSKIN. Miss Paberewskin is one of the best prepared teach- ers we have ever employed. She has had the very best training this country and Europe affords. The following is from! the well known musician and critic, Wilson G. Smith, Cleveland, Ohio: Cleveland, May 19, 1908'. I write a few words introducing t0 favorable consideration Miss Anna Vierra Paberewskin as an exceptionally gifted pianiste and musician. Miss Paberewskin was formerly a pupil of mine and! for several years acted as my studio assistant. I esteem her as one of my most gifted pupils andtone whose personality is thoroughly agreeable and devoted to her artistic profession. From my studio she went to Berlin where she studied for five years with Jedliczki and Godowski, both of them famous pedagogues and artists. With both she was a favored pupil and through her conscientious work and undisputed talent has been a pianiste of specially artistic attain- ments. My personal experience with her talent as my pupil and my later knowledge of her artistic development, warrants me in com- mending her without reservation as a well equipped teacher and a concert pianiste. I can only hope that she may secure a position wherein her musical gifts may find oo-portunity for their full expression. WILso-N G. SMITH.

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.
