' With the three departments of piano, violin and voice all phases of music are fully covered. Pipe organ instruction is also given by the director of the conservatory. Complete equipment for the conservatory has been carefully chosen. In addition to the regular practice and studio pianos there are two concert grands for concert work, one chosen and played upon by the great pianist, DePachman, the other selected by Pugno. Recitals from each department have been given thru- out the year in both the preparatory and advanced grades With great success. Special attention is given, to the development of ar- t1st1c work. Professional study is one of the special features and . particular stress is laid upon the merit of performance. , An interesting part of the work of the ensemble class. of the Conservatory, was featured in the sixteen hand, four piano en- semble piece played by eight freshman girls under the direction of Miss Taylor during commencement. Indicative of further growth is the announcement of the ap- pointment of Mr. Lawrence as head of the Conservatory next year Which forecasts a continued growth in the extension and high standards maintained by the department. MISS ERMA A. TAYLOR was graduated from Oberlin Conservatory of Music in 1912. Three summer sessions and the year 1918-1919 have been devoted to post graduate work in the same institution. She studied for some time under Francis L. York of the Detroit Conservatory of Music. Miss Taylor taught three years in Parsons college, Fairfield, Iowa, three years in the Flora Macdonald College at Red- sp'ring's, North Carolina before coming west. This completes Miss Tayloris second successful year as Director of the Conservatorv at Pacific Univer- sity. Her courses have included piano, pipe organ. harmony, ensemble, theory and history of music.

Phhto lby Bushnell. PROF DON M. iDAILEY despite his dignified and serious appearance today once pulled the little school girls curls and sailed boats at the edge of Lake Michigan. He gradu- ated from Oberlin College and took graduate work at the University of Michigan. Mr. Dailey is known for other things besides his teaching abil- ity. The Dailey stride is the envy of every miler in school. During the ear Mr. Dailey directed business and accounting courses Which proved quite popular. MRS. LUCY LINCOLN HERVEY the hard working secretary of the college, is probably more widely known than any other fac- ulty member on the campus. She teaches good- will, patience and hard work itpar exampleii to anyone Who enters the office. A graduate of Carleton College and with a thorough knowledge of affairs as they r-ught' to be and as they are, she is a capable assistant to the president. rank- ing high in the esteem of students and faculty alike. She is particularly useful to call students out of class at opportune moments for phone calls. LOTTIE M. PETERS is a graduate of Pacific University and thus feels more or less at home in her position as Librarian and Registrar. Miss Peters took library work at Syracuse, and 'Was assistant at the State Library in Salem before coming here this year. Under her efficient direction the library is be- coming more orderly every day, and woe betide the talkative upstart who begins a conversation during library hours. As guardian over grades and classification she- is able to command tyran- nical obeisance from her lowly subjects. 7176?: if i no mm gringo: Esmm
