Woman's College, the Oldest wo,
mans college in the Middle West
having the rank of the best colleges
in the East. A College that
stands for high ideals of woman
hood and the attainment of sincere
and real scholarship and whose
growth, under the inspirin- leader
ship of its present President, Julia
| Fl. Gullrin Pin. D., has drawn the
eyes of all it's Sister Colleges and
now with its beautiful new build
ings and 5000, 900 Endowment It
bids fair to become one of the most
sought after schools in the country.
1t was while at Rockford College
that Signorina De Fabritiis won
some of her most signal successes.
As Head of the Vocal department
she soon became known as a teacher
of rare insight fine Judgment and
unfailing results, and under her
leadership the department grew
rapidly and now ranks as high as
any in the country. She was also
director of the Rockford College
Glee Club, made up of 10 members
chosen by her from the entire
student body. The Concerts given
by the Glee Club under her direc-
tion were memorable events and
the big Hall of the college in which
they were held would be crowded
to its utmost capacity on these
nights and the enthusiasm of the
singing girls under the magnetic
baton of their Director awoke an
answering enthusiasm in the au-
dience and the success of those
nights did much to make the event
one of the things to be looked for
ward to from year to year.
oignorina De Fabritiis took a
years leave of absence after two
years at Rockford College and re-
turned again to France Italy to
study with Signor Panzani and
while there she took lesson a day
and prepared several programs of
interesting new aud old songs which
she has been using this past season
in Boston. On her return from
Italy she returned to Rockford
gellega sEl.sle she a9i;shed anotsleiT
two brilliant years and was married
from Rockford College last June.
During the past season Signorina
De Fabritiis has had a private class
OF nice students in Boston and has
given many Recitals of Italian
Songs which she has done i'll
manner rarely equaled. In coming
to her new Southern home Signorina
De Fabritiis does not intend to give
up her musical activities. on the
other hand she hopes to enlarge her
field for she thinks that there are
wonderful opportunities for the
trained artist in the South, for there
are so many peopl. of culture who
for reasons of distance from the
large Music centers are unable to
udy or send their daughters to
study, who will be glad of this op-
portunity of having a competent
teacher of the finest training that
this Country and Europe can give,
whose ability as teacher has been
recognized by the leading educators
in the Country and whose gifts as
an artist the clippings from the
papers at the end of this article SO
we'll attest.
,Siguorina De Fabritiis expects to
divide her time between Charleston
and Edgeield, going to Charleston
at the beginning of the Musical
Season about the middle of October
and returning to Edgefeld for the
Summer when any students home
from College or Boarding School
could continue their work with
her in either Tone building or
coaching in French and Italina
Songs.
