The Dakota Conservatory Of Music will hold its Commence
ment exercises in the First Presbyterian Church on Monday even
ing, June IS, which will mark the close of the most successful
year in its history. The growth Of this institution since it's
founding in September 1908, has been most remarkable, seven
students enrolled on the day when the institution opened it's
doors and the enrolment continued to increase almost daily so
that at the end Of the first season 120 students names were plac-
ed on the registers. The past year brought an enrolment of al
most 600 students who came from nearly every section of this
and adjoining states. This places the Dakota Conservatory by far
at the head of any musical institution in the state of North Dako-
ia. 1t is with pardonable pride we point to the season which is
just drawing to a close.
Besides many public student and faculty recitals given dur
ing the season the contribution of the school to the musical life of
Fargo consisted Of the appearance of Mr.. Paderewski under it's
auspices and various artists, among whom should be singled out
the world famous Zoellner Quartette. Another feature Of the
past seasons events was the three day spring festival which was
given by the Dakota Conservatory, entirely by local talent and
free of charge to the public.
Naturally, however, we consider the accomplishments of our
students to be the strongest base upon which to build our success,
and we have strven to merit the confidence placed in us. Our
policy OF holding a faculty together which has proven itself to be
Of the highest standard to be found anywhere in this community
will be sufficient guarantee to our patrons of a continuation of
our efforts to their best interest.
