HISTORY MUSIC When aslced what courses require the most outside reading, many students will answer that those ol the l-listory and Social Science department do. But though we complain about it, this extra work furnishes a valuable background for the study ol the United States, Medieval, Ancient, and Modern l-listories. Qther courses in Sociology, Political Science, and Economics mal4e up the rest of the subjects otiered by this department which is headed by Professor Simon Fagerstrom. The center ol musical activity on our campus is Pease Audi- torium across lrom Pierce l-lall. Night and day, instrumental music resounds through its hall. To Fill the conservatoryls vvorlc-day, instructors give piano, voice, and instrumental lessons to the students interested in teaching music in the public schools. As a demonstration ol the progress ot the music stu- dents, the college Choir, Madrigal group, Symphony Cr- chestra, and the Band render vvorl4s at great composers at Frequent concerts. This year a new departmentheacl, Professor l-'laydn Morgan, directs the teaching ot such courses as l-larmony, Counterpoint Qrchestration, and Applied Music at the auditorium.
