Conservatory of flIMisic. T. MERRILL AUSTIN. iMl ONMOUTH College Conservatory is the most f I I J prosperous and promising department of the institution. In the past few years great strides have been made in broadening and widening its scope of work. Under the efficient management of Pro- fessor T. Merrill Austin, and since the initiation of a liberal policy by those in authority, the Conservatory has grown from a weak and struggling to a strong, at- tractive and widely known department. Its courses embrace instruction in Pipe Organ, Piano, Voice, Vio- lin, and Harmony, together with lectures on Musical History. During the past year a recital has been given by the pupils every other Thursday evening ' , and also a term recital at the close of each term. The Conservatory Fac- ulty have also given two fine recitals, much to the delight and enjoyment of the music loving public. The equipment of the department has been much extended by the purchase of new pianos and the gift of a fine Pipe Organ. This latter was presented by the Misses Davidson, and is one of which Monmouth Col- lege may justly be proud.

Monmouth has been an unqualified success. For two years he has been director of the Monmouth College Choral Society. This spring, under his supervision, the great May Festival was planned and arranged for. A greater musical attraction than this has never appeared in the middle west, and Mr. Austin ' s efforts deserve the highest commendation and praise. Miss Hanna, Instructo r in Piano, is a graduate of the Knox Conservatory. Her talents are too well known to need further comment. During the two years she has been connected with the Musical Department, she has won unstinted praise as a teacher. In securing Mrs. Hobart as teacher of Violin, the College was very fortunate. She is a competent instructor and an ag- gressive worker. Under her direction a College Orchestra has been organized and conducted with great success. Professor Versel is a pianist of wide repute and varied ex- perience. Although just engaged last fall, yet in the brief space of time he has been in Monmouth, he has won the admiration and regard of all lovers of music. The Conservatory Faculty has been greatly strengthened bv him, and through him a more ad- vanced course of instruction has been made possible. In the near future we may look for a Conservatory equal in size and possibilities to any in Western Illinois. Its standard is the highest, and with broader opportunities will come a larger field of usefulness. MISS KATHARINE HANNA.
