The Conser- vatory aims to furnish facilities equal in every particular to those of the best conservatories 0f 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.

He is a graduate of the Royal Conservatory of Music, Leipzig, Germany, having been for two years a pupil of the celebrated Dr. Carl Reinecke. 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 lllld 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.
