Eepartment of Music During the iirst fifty years at Mount Holyoke, the training in Music consisted mainly of required choral singing, in which a high standard was maintained. Not until later was any opportunity for private study in in- strumental or vocal music given. With the building of the chapel and the gift of a fine organ came the increased facilities for work, until at present students may receive private instruction in piano, organ, voice, violin, violin- eello, and Hute, as well as in Various theoretical classes. Interest in choral Work has steadily increasedg the choir, vested and enlarged a few years ago, is now an important MR, HAMMOND factor in the Sunday services.

- Eepartment of Mathematics The beginning of the Department of Mathematics dates from the first year of the Seminary, when Colborn's First Lessons and Adam's New Arithmetic were required for admission, and P1ayfair's Euclid and Day's Algebra were studied during the first two years. In 18 S4 a course in Trigonometry was added, early in the eighties was introduced Professor Olney's series of text-books, and stu- dents were eneouraged to attempt General Geometry and Calculus. Several years before the announcement of elec- tives in the catalogue is found the statement, Further mathematical instruction is provided if desiredf, At the present time, the required work of the Freshman year may be followed by twenty elective courses, giving fifty hours of credit and covering the field of mathematics from the elements of Analytic Geometry and Calculus to Modern Geometry, application of the Calculus, and the theory of functions. Mount Holyoke was one of the first colleges to offer work in the history of Mathematics, the subject being included in the requirements for a major as early as 1892. Besides the well-known histories, the department library contains a valuable collection of famous mathe- matical works belonging to the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The equip- ment also includes sets of plaster and thread models for illustration in the various courses.
