-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.

Oesch A peaceful retreat, where the student may, amidst simple yet dignified surround- ings, dexote his leisure hours to those dear sympathetic friends — books. That is the library. 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.

Zersen Music deals with the expression of elevated thought; it is the language of the soul. The desire to become acquainted with the charms and beauties of this language gave rise to the Euterpe C;lee Club, and from that desire it still derives its existence. Each year since its beginning the Glee Club has met with acknowledged success, and under the able leadership of Mr. Karl Markworth it has gained considerable popularity with its many Milwaukee friends; especially may this be said of the last two years. Its renditions at the concerts held in the college auditorium are always favorably received, and it has also often been accorded the pleasure of furnishing vocal music at the services of Milwaukee Lutheran churches. At present the members of the CJlee Club number sixty-one. May they all serve their Alma Mater by helping to foster a salutary enthusiasm for the noble art of music. [701
