Excerpt from Lawrence College Bulletin, Vol. 13: October, 1913 Dean William Harper, Who had been at the head of the Conservatory for'some years and under whom its reputation and attendance had grown greatly, resigned the first of June, owing to the sickness of his wife and the desirability of a change of climate in her interest. Mr. Harper had put great energy into the conservatory and was intensely interested in it and it was through his influence that the present fine equipment was made possible. He saw the institution grow from a small school to a strong conservatory. The college wishes himsuc cess wherever in the future he may locate. His place is taken by Frederick Vance Evans of Des Moines, Iowa. Dean Evans is a graduate of Drake University and of its conservatory. He has studied in Chicago, New York, London and Berlin. He has been under some of the best teachers of voice on both sides of the Atlantic and is an artist of exceptional ability. He has made a reputation as a singer and teacher, and brings to Law rence both experience and ability. For some years he taught at Drake University and'later has been the head of the vocal department of Highland Park College. He has for some years been conductor of a choral union in Des Moines of over two hundred voices. Dean Evans has been recommended with the greatest enthusiasm by President Bell of Drake, and many others competent to judge. There is every reason to believe that he will maintain and extend the reputation of the Con servatory and prove an energetic and successful executive as well as an exceptionally strong teacher. The Conservatory is certainly to be congratulated in securing so competent a man. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
