THIS organization i trained by Prof. N ' alley and is made up of itudentb who have had httle or no previous technical training and but scant time for personal practice, depending almost entirely upon ensemble rehearsals for work on selections rendered. The results. taking these facts into consideration, are very creditable, some of the notice- able points being good tempo, smooth rendition and precision. But this is from the technical side alone. When we look at the beneficial effects of the study from an esthetic standpoint, the chance to dip if ever so lightly into some of the good things prepared for us in the realm of song, the u])- lifting influence of good music upon both those who render and those who listen, we surely feel as though an organization of this kind is a necessity. We cannot afford to forget that while the study of the practical is the basis of an agricultural college that no education is complete which does not pay attention to other things which cannot, it is true, be measured in a retort or reduced to a chemical formula, dissected on a laboratory table or added among the nutriments of a balanced ration but which nevertheless do strengthen that immoral part of us without which we can never attain tc a well rounded growth. Then, too, music is usually considered a luxury and among the first expenses to be cut down when hard times or a capricious tariff make even necessities beyond our price. But lo, here we have a chance to get musical tuition free and without price and we believe this is the only school of its kind to offer an equal advantage. The Choral Union was organized in 1904. The heavier parts of Han- del ' s Messiah were sung at the first concert in the spring of 1905. The second annual concert was given in March. 1906. Most of Gounod ' s Faust rtas rendered. In 1907. A. Garing Thomas ' s The Swan and the Skylark was given. The same oratorio was repeated at the annual concert in 1908. Paul Revere ' s Ride. by Carl Bush, and Loyd ' s Hero and Leander were sung at the fifth annual concert in May, 1909. Presidents 1905. A. F. Turner. 1906. E. E. Farrar. 1907. H. E. Porter. 1908. T.

The Society Lecture Course UNDER the management of the Literary Societies an extensive lecture course of a dozen or more numbers is put on each year. The best talent of the lecture platform, the highest class of musi- cal organizations together with the most noted of humorists or novelty entertainers are included in thc ' e courses. This venture is one of the most successful, popular and beneficial of the .student enterprises to be found at college. The spacious auditorium, affording a seating capacity of almost three thousand, enables the management to hold the cost of admission at a very low figure. As a result the numbers are all very well attended and at thi. close of each season the course returns an ever-increasing compensation to the societies. This year ' s course has been the most successful and most expensive and the strongest by far of any that have ever been offered. In cost there were none to exceed it in the state. With the continued support of the College and the town people we are confident that many more courses of the quality of that of the 08 and ' 09 course will follow.
