Music Study Class NE of the most practical organizations of the Conservatory conducted by the Misses Colbert and Armentrout, teachers was that known as the Music Study Class, organized and in the piano department. Some twenty young men and women were members of this class which met bi-monthly. A practical study course was taken up the purpose of which was to get the foundation work underlying form and design in music. Each les- son was given as a lecture by the teachers, at alternate times, fol- lowed by a round-table discussion, and examples from musical literature played to illustrate that particular study. The greatest value to be derived from such a course is the development in the individual of a finer appreciation and understanding of music. The concrete good that was acoinplished by the class was the purchase of a complete set of Grove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians which was presented to the college library by the class. Grove is and has been recognized as the final authority on matters musical for the last quarter of a century- and as no set of this worlq was in either the city or college library it is a valuable asset to the musical life of the community.

The students tried out last fall and a list of those who were chosen was announced. At their first meeting they selected Earl Brewster as Choir Master and Miss Louella Armentrout was chosen as accompanist. The choir has done very faithful work throughout the year. In their vesper gowns they furnished the choir for the Methodist church one Sunday when the regular choir had been unable to meet. Their special music added very much to the service and was greatly appreciated by the congregation. The choir gave two concerts this spring. One at Weston on April 4 and the second at Milton on April 10. The programs were varied and very enter- taining. Page Sixty-Nine
