A Century of ExcellenceEver since its founding in 1892 as a conservatory of music, Ithaca College has been nurturing and developing its musical character. The College remains dedicated to the goals of its founder, W. Grant Egbert, who said, "It is my plan to build a school of music second to none in the excellence of its faculty, the soundness of its educational ideals, and the superior quality of instruction. As the conservatory evolved into a college with expanded academic offerings, the programs in music retained their position of prominence. Today, Ithaca's School of Music is acknowledged as one of the best in the nation. Devoted
