Music Department Stephen Bennett Williams Mus.B., Chicago Musical College; M.A., University of Iowa Allan Sly Chairman, Department of Music Graduate in Music, University of Reading, England Musical activities and instruction at Monticcllo take several forms, according to the varying needs of students. For those who sing or play as an accomplishment, for those who attend concerts or collect records, for those who plan a career in which music plays a part, and for those who plan for further study of music at senior colleges or professional school, differing programs of study arc available. The Monticcllo Choir plays an essential part in the Sunday Vesper Services, gives two public concerts annually, and makes occasional out-of-town trips. Bi-monthly Serenade Concerts in the Caldwell Drawing Room serve to bring performers and listeners together in a congenial atmosphere, and student recitals focus attention on the earnest and sustained effort of many gifted students.
