cal standards, a number of scholarships are allotted yearly to band musicians of ability. These differ in value according to the pro- ficiency of the cadet, but the Academy is always glad to enter into correspondence on this subject. Cadets who have a slight knowl- edge of their instrument may, by being assigned to the Band, obtain valuable instruction without cost. All cadets, whether members of the Band or not, have the privilege of arranging for private lessons on any band instrument at very unusual rates. A feature of the I922-23 session will be a number of lectures on the general subject of musical culture and appreciation. In connection with the Band, the Academy also maintains a Bugle Corps, membership in which can generally be arranged, and especially if a new cadet already is some- what familiar with the infantry bugle. The Cadet Orchestra is a less formal organization than the Band, but is none the less enjoyable. Made up largely from the ranks of the former body, it includes also cadets who play the xylophone, the flute, the violin, the guitar, the mandolin, the ukulele, or anything else that will contribute to the musical concord. The Orchestra al- ways makes a number of public appearances, both at the Academy and elsewhere, and adds largely to the enjoyment of cadet life. LITERARY SOCIETIES Well managed literary societies furnish a distinct addition to the life of the Academy. Every cadet isa member of one or the other of these organizations, and takes his place in turn on the program. The societies are supervised by faculty officers attached to the English Department, and offer unusual opportunities for training and prac- tice in declamation, essay writing, reading, and debate, both prepared and impromptu. . 6 FRATERNITY LIFE . With the consent of the authorities, and under the immediate supervision of the Commandant, five secondary school Greek letter fraternities, the Pi Delta Pi, the Sigma Delta Epsilon, the Sigma Phi Omega, the Sigma Theta Chi, and the Tau Delta Tau, maintain chapters at Castle Heights. The following Honor Pledge, signed by every member of each fraternity, indicates the high standard under which these organi- zations exist: 95
