The 5000 volumes contained in our library serve this purpose, to instruct and amuse those fond of reading. Besides this, there is the Sihler Reference Library for the College Department, which offers 575 additional valuable reference volumes. Furthermore, about 500 volumes of the Faculty Library are placed at the disposal of the students. A number of the best magazines and periodicals, besides leading Mil- waukee and Chicago newspapers, are offered for those who wish to aquaint themselves with current events. The care of the library is intrusted to a stafiF of twelve students who freeh offer their services. By maintaining order and discipline, by keeping damaged books in repair, and providing for the purchase of new books, they strive to make the library as useful as possible. However, our library is far from ideal, because of its meagerness and unsuitable location. Being situated in a dormitory its thin partitions cannot effectualh exclude the bustle of the halls and living rooms. With eyes turned to the newly organized Alumni .Association as an aid to the library cause, we look forward to the time when our building program will be further carried out, and Concordia will have a modern and fiill - equipped Student Library.

Secretary Clarence Schukneeht Every enrolled student at Concordia is a member of the Coetus, the name by which the Student Body is known. Its power and duties are governed entirely by a Con stitution, the basis of which is Robert ' s Rules of Order. As questions concerning the general welfare of the College arise they are brought up for discussion in the monthly meetings of the Coetus. For this purpose of promoting special interest committees are appointed annually. Upon the Executive Board rests the most responsibility since it shapes the policies of the Student Body. Regular meetings are held by this board and it issues regularly a report at the business meetings of the Coetus, which take place on the first Friday of each month. In these meetings all committees report on their activities, and matters pertaining to college life receive consideration and discussion. However no final step is taken in any important issue before it has been carefully weighed and considered by the Executive Board. This measure serves as a balance and adds greatly to the efficiency of control. Among the committees which supervise the various affairs and matters of general interest are: the Athletic Board, which together with Pres. Barth as faculty represen- tative, controls the finances of the Coetus; the Commissary Committee, which decides upon matters pertaining to the daily menu ; the Grounds and Building Committee whose business it is to keep the campus and structures clean ; the Entertainment Com- mittee, which provides for concerts in order to keep up the college spirit and drive away homesickness.

-SITS A (g » iEuBir KARL MARKWORTH Conductor of Cliorua and Clee Club Singing, that most beautiful of all branches of music, is pursued with a high degree of interest at Concordia. The ser- vices of Mr. Karl Markworth have been obtained for the instruction in this branch oi music. Singing classes are conducted every Saturday. He also directs the Eu- terpe Glee Club. The great success this organization has attained in the past few years, and its ever increasing popularity in Milwaukee, can be attributed largely to its energetic and talented leader, Mr. Karl Markworth. H. B. DUETZMANN Conductor of Concordia College Orchestra In the line of instrumental music the orchestral form is undoubtedly enjoyed the most. This phase of music also receives attention at Concordia, and the C. C. Or- chestra is fortunate in having as conductor Mr. H. B. Duetzmann, a well known Mil- waukee violinist. He has directed the or- chestra for many ears, and much praise is due him for producing such splendid re- sults, which de light the public at the semi- annual concerts.
