Rosenberg E. Nve An Orchestra is a distinct asset to a college, giving training in music to the players, affording enjoyment to the student body, and advertising the institution at the public concerts. Concordia h as maintained an orchestra for many years, and also during this school year it has enjoyed well-deserved popularity. True, graduation almost always robs it of several valuable players, but new material may be gained from the new students and by diligent practice a smoothly-working organization is obtained. H. B. Duetzmann is again conducting the body and under his able direction the ardent and zealous work of the members has produced gratifying results. The first joint concert of the Orchestra and the Euterpe Glee Club, given on February 20th and 2Ist, was acclaimed a success by the audience and we trust that the next concert in May may be worth of the same verdict.

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

These two letters represent Greek words, which, translated read: We delight in endea or. What a fitting name for this society of mutual improvement ! In addition to the regular literary work, interesting stereoptican lectures have been given, a number of expeditions have been made through the huge industrial plants and other places of interest in Milwaukee, field excursions have been taken, in short, ever opportunity is grasped whereby practical knowledge and ad ancement can be gained. Meetings are held every week in the Science Room, and the programs are usually highly interesting and instructive. Our society, though still in its infanc ' , is looking forward to a ery bright and successful season. We are convinced that the benefits derived from a literary society are numerous and we therefore welcome any members of the upper classes who are en- thusiastic for literary work and are willing to put forth their best efforts to promote the welfare and raise the standard of tiie society, so that it ma ' remain in the future, what it has been in the past, an interesting and instrvictive organization.
