Informal arrangements with music teachers in town constituted the only opportunities for students' musical instruction. All lessons were of an extra-curricular nature and no college credit was given. The official college publications illustrated the gradual recognition of music as a field of study but not as a college subject until the final establishment of a music department which occurred in 1894. In the Catalogue for 1874-75 (p.[4]), Georgia B. Gaylord and Professor J.W. Jameson (resigned) were listed as Instructors of Music among the college faculty but no courses in music were mentioned. The Bulletin for 1880-81 provided the following description of its music program: INSTRUCTION IN MUSIC. The Trustees have made favorable terms for such students of the College as wish to obtain a thorough education in music under the tuition of Professor H.

    NOTES ON JEFFREY HUNTER AND HIS FILMS by Jim Meyer "Jeffrey Hunter is beautiful!" a girl friend gurgled to me some 15 years ago. And indeed he was, as any man not envious of Hunter's impressive 6' 1" height and blue-eyed, brown-haired handsomeness must admit. As is well enough known, many film actors have little more to offer audiences than handsomeness. But far too many critics (men and women alike) too quickly tabbed the exceptionally hand- some actor "beautiful but bland." But teen-age girls didn't mind. Many didn't care whether he could act. In Jeffrey Hunter they saw (or thought they saw) a dream prince, a husky young god, who could fulfill their most imaginative fantasies. Less dazzled male viewers saw something else: a man who was handsome enough for them to resent, largely, one suspects, because many of them wished that his good looks belonged to them, and, not being able to measure up, consoled themselves by insisting that he couldn't act and wouldn't last long in films. Obviously, Hunter had to work twice as hard as many another actor of his type to prove he was a good actor. I believe he succeeded although he never became a superstar. Did Hunter's good looks make him arrogant, overbearing, and hard to work with? Possibly not, when one recalls that Jean Peters, a co-star of his, once went out of her way to observe that his courtesy toward and consideration for her would be remarkable anywhere but especially in Hollywood.
