To Teach Music at S. J. I.

Prof. Frank M. Church, of Sandusky, Ohio, Selected

Graduate of Two Conservatories

His Brilliant Record as a Musician


The vacancy in the Music Department of South Jersey Institute caused by the 
resignation of Prof. DeMaris, has been filled by the election of Prof. Frank M 
Church of Sandusky, Ohio. While very sorry to lose the valuable services of 
Prof. DeMaris who has done so much for his department in the last five years, 
the authorities feel that they have in the new director a man in every way 
qualified for the position. 

Prof. Church is a graduate of the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, and of the 
New England Conservatory of Music, in Boston, in 1900, where he stood one of 
the first in a class of sixty members and was one of only four to receive a 
diploma as soloist. He has had considerable experience as teacher of Piano, 
Pipe, Organ and Harmony. Prof. Church has also served as organist and choir 
director in several large city churches, coming directly to the Institute from 
Chattanooga, Tenn. For a number of years he has engaged in concert work and 
has received many flattering press comments on his skill. During his stay at 
Boston he was engaged at different times to play on some of the largest organs 
in the city, having but two or three disengaged Sundays during the entire 
time. Among other difficult positions to which he has been called he acted as 
organist at the third annual concert to the People's Choral Union when the 
oratorio Naaman was given to an immense audience in Boston Music Hall on April 
21, 1900, by a choir of 440 voices, assisted by noted soloist and the Boston 
Festival Orchestra. He has also filled engagements to play in the principal 
cities of the country - Cincinnati, Cleveland, Toledo, Detroit, etc. besides 
making a concert tour of the Canadian Provinces. 

Prof. Church has not contented himself with knowing nothing but music for in 
his studies he has made himself an 'all-around-man.' He has done some special 
work along the lines of history and biography and is familiar with the French 
language. He has traveled extensively in the United States and Canada and has 
frequently written letters of travel and notes to various leading journals.
