Students learn lechniques for conducting an orchestra MUSIC Far removed from the academic buildings on campus is the Music Building, which was completed in 1936. One doesn ' t need to plan to teach music nor go on the concert stage to enjoy the facilities which the Music School provides. It offers courses of interest and value to all students which acquaint them with music as one aspect of liberal culture. The school encourages research in music history, the- ory, and literature and provides a very extensive music library. Dean Sanders initiated a new, basic theoretical program, developed by Professor Nye and under her direction. The Orchestra and Choral Union each presented sev- eral concerts this year. The Orchestra is a campus-wide organization whose membership is not limited to music students. It offers orchestral training for students inter- ested in gaining experience or spending leisure time in a worth-while manner. Choral Union is composed of se- lected voices from interested faculty, students, and towns- people and is a noncredit extracurricidar activity. During the year the school sent out ensemble groups to entertain for various campus functions. The students also displayed their talent in a diversified program of student recitals. Last August our School of Music was host to a Music Teachers ' Conference for private music instructors and supervisors from this state. Meetings were devoted to presenting teaching aids for the study of piano, voice, and string instruments. 50
