SCHOOL OF MUSIC. 
 Ripon College, Ripon, Wis. 
 To The Prospective Student 
 
 Have you made your plans for next year? Do you think you are 
 quite prepared to enter upon life's duties? Have you the general and 
 specific knowledge w^hich will fit you for the career you have been 
 dreaming about for the past few years ? Do you know your own powers ^ 
 Have you found yourself to the extent, that you know to a certainty 
 what you wish to become? Is it not possiblee that you may have talent 
 for some special line of work, which has not yet manifested itself? 
 
 Talent must be developed and cultivated through the medium of 
 education. How can you get the education which will develop the 
 latent powers that are within you? The best possible plan for you is, to 
 go to College. Four years spent in some school of high ideals where 
 the courses offered in the different departments, are arranged along 
 broad and liberal lines, will help in unfolding the powers of your na- 
 ture, and will multiply the opportunities of your life many times. 
 
 Ripon College at Ripon, Wisconsin, has long been known as an in- 
 stitution where the best in education has been given to students. During 
 the past year it has taken another step in advance by offering in its 
 School of Music courses along the line of liberal culture in music. The 
 plan, now in operation at Ripon College has, within the past few years, 
 been adopted in many of the best colleges in the country. 
 
 Advantages for College Students. 
 
 The School of Music as it now exists in Ripon is so affiliated with 
 the College proper, that students of the College may enter classes in the 
 School of Music in Sight-reading, Choral Music, Musical Appreciation 
 and the Theory and History of Music, and for the work done in these 
 classes receive credit toward the A. B. degree. 
 
 Advantages for Music Students. 
 
 The School of Music, however, does not exist here, for the benefit 
 of the College student alone. It oft'ers to those who wish to enter the 
 musical profession courses of the highest order, courses which lead 
 to graduation in both theoretical and practical music. These courses 
 have been arranged by teachers of wide experience in the development 
 of many pupils, who are now occupying positions of honor and respon- 
 sibility in the musical world. Students are also received at this school, 
 who do not wish to enter upon the regular courses leading to gradua- 
 tion, but who do value the study of music as an important element in a 
 liberal education, and who wish to add some musical knowledge to their 
 equipment for living. 
 
 Practical Courses in Music. 
 
 The practical courses in the School of Music embrace the study of 
 the Piano, Pipe Organ, Violin and Voice. The theoretical courses in- 
 clude Sight-reading, Ear-training, Harmony, Musical Analysis, Counter- 
 
point and Musical History and Appreciation. The regular courses in 
 Piano, Pipe Organ, Violin and Voice may be completed in four years. 
 As to the time required for graduation, however, much depends upon 
 the student's capacity for work and his musical ability. If the study 
 which has been done before coming to Ripon has been in accordance 
 with the plan of work here offered, it will be accepted and due credit 
 will be granted. A preparatory course is also offered for beginners. 
 All students in the regular courses are expected to take the work in 
 Musical Theory and History. 
 
 Literary Studies ?or Music Students. 
 
 In order to secure the symmetrical growth and development neces- 
 sary to insure success in after life, students expecting to graduate from 
 the School of Music, are required to take some literary subjects, such 
 as Modern Languages, History, English. A School of Music so related 
 to the College, as at Ripon, has great advantages to offer. The opportu- 
 nity to do the required literary work in the college classes is a distinct 
 advantage. The atmosphere of culture pervading the college and the 
 college town, raises the ideals of the student, and is an incentive to in- 
 dustry and excellence of scholarship. 
 
 Public School Music. 
 
 A very important course covering a period of two years in Public 
 School Music is offered at this school. There is more and more call for 
 teachers and supervisors of Public School Music. To meet this demand 
 a course has been arranged for which a certificate will be given on its 
 completion. Students taking this course will be recommended for posi- 
 tions. 
 
 Instructors. 
 
 A word may be said of the corps of teachers of the Ripon School 
 of Music, although the full announcement of names of instructors will 
 be made later. It is perhaps sufficient to say that any additional teachers 
 who may be appointed will be of high standing, whose work will com- 
 pare favorably with that of the present force of instructors. 
 
 Mrs. Bstella Hall Reade, the Instructor in Voice, has had long ex- 
 perience and has been eminently successful. She had the advantage of 
 study with teachers of note. This thorough preparation enabled her to 
 step at once into the front ranks of those, whose specialty is voice build- 
 ing. Her work with her pupils, has gained for her much prominence in 
 her profession as a teacher. Mrs. Reade has demonstrated many times, 
 that she is equally successful in developing either men's or women's 
 voices. Mrs. Reade also teaches the classes in Methods of Public School 
 Music. 
 
 Dr. Louis A. Brookes, has been the teacher of Violin the past year. 
 He has also taught classes in Harmony, Counterpoint, Musical Analy- 
 sis and History. He was educated under the best masters of music in 
 England. He is a member of the Royal College of Organists, Licenti- 
 ate of Victoria College and Fellow of the Guild of Church Musicians in 
 London, England. He is well known as organist at St. Paul's Cathe- 
 dral in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. 
 
Miss Cora La Verne Hoppough has recently been added to the 
 Faculty of the School of Music. She will begin her work in September 
 when the new year opens. She will teach Piano, Sight-reading, Musical 
 Theory, History and Appreciation. Miss Hoppough graduated from 
 the Conservatory of Music in Olivet College, Olivet, Michigan, in 1900 
 from the full course in Piano and Theory, under Professor Bintliff, Di- 
 rector of the Olivet Conservatory at that time. In 1903 she was called 
 to Olivet to teach in the theoretical department of the Conservatory of 
 Music, where she remained until the close of the school year in 1909. 
 This past year she has spent at Oberlin where she has been doing ad- 
 vanced work in piano and theory. She comes to Ripon fresh from her 
 studies there. Prof. BintHff has full knowledge of Miss Hoppough's 
 fitness for such a position as the one at the Ripon School of Music. 
 Students contemplating taking the courses in theory can be assured of 
 the very best instruction in her classes. 
 
 Elisabeth Battle Bintliff, A. M., Professor of Music in Ripon Col- 
 lege and Director of the School of Music, is a musician of high stand- 
 ing in her profession. She is well known as an educator throughout 
 the country. Her long and successful connection with Olivet College 
 as the Director of the Conservatory of Music for sixteen years, gave 
 her a wide reputation, not only as an excellent teacher, but as an effi- 
 cient manager of business affairs. This ample preparation and practi- 
 cal experience has enabled her to take up her duties at Ripon with full 
 knowledge of the necessary requirements for success in the conduct of 
 such a school. 
 
 Characte^r of the Work. 
 
 The standard of excellence in the work of the Ripon School of Mu- 
 sic and of the plans for the regular courses have already placed it in the 
 front rank of the music schools in the middle west. Every detail of 
 each student's work receives attention in the Ripon School of Music. 
 Each individual and his needs are duly considered. The personal atten- 
 tion shown the student in arranging all his work to the best advantage 
 manifests itself in the interest the pupil takes in his own work, teacher 
 and pupil together making success possible. This is one of the advan 
 tages to be found in a school of moderate size. 
 
 It will be found that the expenses at Ripon are very moderate as 
 compared to those in larger places. Those interested in this item in 
 planning for the coming year are asked to send for Bulletin No. 39, 
 March, 1910. On page eighty-four may be found the full particulars 
 with regard to the expense of tuitions. On page seventy-nine of the 
 same Bulletin may be found a full description of the various courses in 
 music. 
 
 MINOR ADVANTAGES. 
 
 The College Library and the Carnegie Library of the city of Ripon 
 are freely open to all students. 
 
 The Dormitories of the College are open to the students in School 
 of Music. Bartlett Hall is for the women. Smith Hall and West Build- 
 ing for the men. The Commons in West Building is patronized by 
 teachers and students. An excellent table is furnished. 
 
The College Glee Club and the Cecilian Chorus for girls, have been 
 under the leadership of Professor Bintliff during the past year. The 
 notable success of both clubs, in their concerts, speaks well for her lead- 
 ership. 
 
 The Ripon Choral Club is an organization formed for the study 
 and production of the great oratorios. This is open for membership to 
 all who read music at sight. This chorus is conducted by Professor 
 BintHff. 
 
 The Sight-reading Class is open to all students of the College and 
 School of Music, who wish to learn to read music. This class will be 
 conducted by Miss Hoppough. 
 
 The College Orchestra, led by a competent conductor, is open to 
 players of orchestral instruments. 
 
 The Thursday Musicale gives students opportunity for performing 
 in a semi-public way, the music which they study. Once a month these 
 musicales are open to the general public. The training obtained is very 
 valuable to pupils, in acquiring the habit of self-control and ease in pub- 
 lic performance.
