• yi ■T? :,::.a,:„ s r::P ' v a a THE functions of a Music Department in a college are three — and when the Head of the Department so organizes his work as to meet this three-fold demand, he performs a real service. Professor Stolz has attained unto this standard of service. The first function is to give technical instruction. Through training derived from a college course in the liberal arts and from a musical education at home and abroad, Professor Stolz has been able to maintain the musical standard of his predecessor. Professor Avirag- net, and to make such advancement as to win a wide patronage. The second function is to offer an opportunity to the general student to hear what is best. Though it is difficult in an inland com- munity to secure the best talent. Professor Stolz has so adjusted the tuition fees as to create a fund whereby he can bring to the College first-class artists. Besides he cultivates in our midst a taste for only the best; he will not allow tawdry music. So well has he met this demand that the Commencement Oratorio has become a unique feature of the season. The third function is to develop musical aljility. The evidence shows that Professor Stolz has attained this end in the College Glee Club. Any one who has followed the history of our College Glee Clubs and has listened to the performances of other days, can witness to the unrivalled excellence of the present Glee Club. Wherever the Club has gone it has received unstinted praise. Only Professor Stolz ' s indefatigable energy and his skill as a leader could bring about such results. By instruction, by public recitals, by development of the ability of the students, Professor Stolz has made a place for himself in our University.
