VERSJTY OF OFFIC THE CHAPEL: HOME AND RECITAL HALL OF THE LOMBARD CONSERVATORY. The Lombard Conservatory of Music* THE Lombard Conservatory of Music is an advanced school of music, established for the purpose of affording superior advantages in the study of music. The faculty of the Conservatory consists of musicians of the highest merit, thorough- ly up to date in the most progressive courses for the American student of music. All instruction, except in the theoretical subjects, is given in private lessons. The student is continually surrounded by artistic and educational influences cal- culated to broaden his general knowledge and to improve his taste and judgment. Regularity and discipline are of first importance, tending to form and strengthen character. Recitals are given each term, affording public appearance for those who have com- pleted parts of the courses. The Faculty* KELLEY L. ALEXANDER, Director, Instructor in Voice Culture. ARTHUR H. ARNEKE. A. G. O., Instructor in Piano, Organ, and Theoretical Courses. GEORGE GRAHAM, Instructor in Violin. Mr. Kelley L. Alexander, the director of the Conservatory, has made a specialty of presenting the most progressive course of study for the American singer. His in- structors were among the most successful in the profession; some of whom were Mr. Adrian Freni, Mr. Charles B. Hawley, and Mr. Isadore Luckstone, of New York city. Mr. Alexander's past year's success, both as director of the Conservatory and instructor in the art of singing, goes to insure greater results another year. Mr. Arthur H. Arneke, who has so successfully conducted the courses in Pianoforte and Organ playing, will return the first of September after an extended trip through the east, attending festivals and concerts. Mr. George Graham, as instructor in Violin playing, has established an enviable reputation by his past successes, and will continue this course another year on a much broader basis. Each instructor is an artist in his specialty, and is therefore in a position to de- monstrate the practical side as well as giving the theoretical. Courses of Study.
