ON-1 J acaabbaf fm? O woke COMMERCIAL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT 090 - Every citizen, whether he be a farmer, merchant or professional man, should have some knowledge of the principles of business. The Department of Commerce in State College is maintained for the purpose of giving such training. The courses in Business Law and Business Organization have been very popular, more than -twenty-live per cent of the Freshman class in the Agricultural and General Science courses electing these subjects. O A Four Years' Course in Commerce is offered for those who wish to prepare for administrative positions in business, and a One Year Vocational Course is offered for those who feel that they cannot take the time for a full college course. .tl 5, . 1 , . 5?-S?

Q b .if Ci g egg? C gas, Q90 O l 1 l l do o . Qpfu PHARMACY DEPARTMENT During the past two years the School of Pharmacy has enjoyed considerable pros- perity. The number of students enrolled have more than doubled in number, in fact it has been necessary to limit the number of Freshmen to thirty. No doubt the increase in number of students has been due, largely to the new equip- ment which has been added, and to the fine new quarters in Administration building. The State Association has also taken a much keener interest in the work that is being done at the School and have given financial as well as moral support in a number ot instances. An excellent Medicinal and Poisonous Plant Garden is also a new addition of three years' standing. The garden is under the direct supervision of Professor Anton Hogstad. Not only is it one of the attractive spots on the campus during the summer months, but it furnishes an excellent field for research, and plenty of material for class room dem- onstrations. The Pharmaceutical Society affords a portion of the social activities of the students of the School of Pharmacy and has thus tar met with unusual success. All students en- rolled in major work in Pharmacy are eligible to membership. Of course the biggest thing that comes to the School of Pharmacy is the State Board Examinations. These examinations are held every spring in our own class rooms and laboratories. The records made by the students in these examinations have been re- markable, there being only four failures in the history of the institution. . l l-Llllli lt. SIGIQLIGS, l'li. fl., M.

Music, like love, has a universal appeal. That State College is not lacking in the former las well as the latterl, can be easily determined most any day in the college year by anyone with an attentive ear. From morn 'till night rises the incessant sound of pianos, harp, reeds, brass, organ and voices. What is it all about? Shortly before the greatest offensive of the la-te World War, the Meuse-Argonne Drive, orders were sent out from the American E. F. Headquarters to the effect that all band men were to be kept in a safe zone. Formerly band men had been used as stretcher-bearers, first aid men and runners, with the result that there had been heavy casualties among the bands. These casualties could not be easily replaced as in the case of infantry losses. It was not a bit of mere sentimentality on the part of the Commander-in1Chiet that caused this order to be issued. Not soon to be forgotten were the joyful cries to be heard when battle worn men, upon their return from the front, heard the lirst strains of a military band. Music, both instrumental and vocal, played a greater part in winning the recent war than most civilians think. Thomas Carlyle was right when he said, You can tell how a man will fight by the way he sings. State College consistently has winning teams and individuals in athletics, and it can hardly be denied that music is a prominent factor in promoting these activities. Almost invariably is it true that colleges that do not rate high in athletics, have no military bands. Along with the high position in athletics, State College boasts, without fear of successful contradiction, of possessing the best cadet military band in the Northwest. Under the untiring direction ot Professor Carl Christensen, this organiza- tion is a spirited military band during the athletic season, present at every game, and later in the college year becomes a refined concert band, further advertising State by a series of concerts of the highest class in many of the cities of South Dakota. Likewise, the young ladies' band is often on hand, especially at the University game, where they always receive a wonderful ovation. This band is the only organization of its kind in the Northwest and is a credit to the music department. The average chapel exercise would be considered a bit dull by some, were it not for the ever-present Symphony Orchestra, of which Miss Coughlan is concertmaster, Miss Rink accompanist, and Miss Smith harpist. Professor Christensen directs this organization also. The Chapel Choir, in cap a11d gown, frequently appears in chapel, and, un- der the direction of Miss Pearl .lohn- son, gives a comic operetta each year. The Men's Glee Club is a thriving or- ganization also, giving an annual con- cert. Additional variety in music is fur- nished by Instructor .lohnson's Saxo- phone Sextet. Monthly recitals are rendered at the Music Students' Con- vocationsg and Professor Peterson .-1 gives an annual recital of advanced students on the organ and piano. Miss Rink, assistant in piano, has turned out some splendid pupils, and Miss Coughlan has made a fine reputa- tion as a solo violinist and a teacher. With these superlative musical organ- izations, the music department of State College ranks highest among the music schools of the state. ,...,-t, X W..
