1933 KiNNIKINICK DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC William Lloyd Rowles The principal aim of the Department of Music is to prepare teachers for work in public school music. Aside from the fundamental courses offered to all stu- dents, music majors are presented with a wide variety of courses grouped under four general heads: music theory, music methods, applied music (private les- sons), and ensemble (orchestra or chorus). All students with some musical talent have the opportunity of participating in orchestra, band, chorus. Madrigal Society, men ' s and women ' s glee clubs. Those wishing to pursue private studies in violin, voice, piano and organ have the advantages of such instruction. Con- certs featuring the different choral and instrumental organizations of the school are regular occurrences during the year, the annual operetta being one of the im- portant events in the schedule.

Kl NNI K INICK 1933 DEPARTMENT OF LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE Ralph Earle Tieje Owing to the comparatively slight demand for courses in foreign languages in the teacher training curriculum, the work in this division of the Depart- ment has been less emphasized than has that of the other two, but an expansion of the offerings in lan- guage seems of likely necessity with the change of the institution to a collegiate basis. In English literature the revised program will distribute the emphasis more evenly over the literary history of England and America than formerly, insuring to the major student a satisfactory survey of the entire field with some concentration on a particular period, while at the same time not altogether neglecting his training in the art of writing. Aside from the elementary work the Division of Speech pursues two lines of training. The one acquaints the student with the arts and sciences involved in the staging of plays — production, acting, directing, scene design: and the other, giving scientific training in voice correction, at the same time stresses the artistic through the medium of creative dramatics and the children ' s theater, this school sup- porting the only theater of this type in the Northwest, and one of the few west of the Mis- sissippi river.

KiNNIKINICK 1933 DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION Arthur C. Woodward The early physical educators aimed to develop great strength and the regular routine was to lift big weights and swing heavy clubs. Our aim today is for normal physical development, sound health, good pos- ture, efficient motor control, grace, agility, endurance, coordination, alertness, courage, obedience, cooperation, loyalty, sportsmanship and team work. All these are developed by physical education activities such as posture work, games, folk dancing, rhythmic work, athletics, etc. By games and athletics you build up a reserve force that will be of great bene- fit in later life. Athletics such as football, soccer, basketball, baseball and track provide skills for immediate use, while swimming, tennis, volley ball, play- ground ball, jolly ball, horseshoes, golf, bowling, handball, skating, boxing, fencing, riding, hiking and archery provide skills that will be beneficial in later life.
