Music Department 'Ei' USIC has an important place in the social and religious life of the present day, and as a consequence it is a subject of great importance in education. In religious life, music is most important. There are ' 1 a few people who are tone deaf, 'just as others are color blind, and to but to most persons sacred music is service is empty and unsatisfactory these music probably affords no pleasureg such a part of worship that a religious without it. Wfe are fortunate in having a good department of music in our college. The Literary Societies all have music on their prograis, the evening orations would be incomplete without music, and the oratorical contests invariably have musical numbers. ' Wfe have a fair equipment and excellently educated instructors. The director of the department, Mr. M. Luther Peterson, is a graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music, and has studied in Europe. He has proved himself a successful instructor in piano and vocal music. He is also excellent as a chorus conductor. Miss Wfarner, the assistant in the department is also a graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music, and an equally successful instructor. From time to time the department gives recitals in the college chapel. The programs of some of these follow: Mendelssohn Mendelssohn, October 21. 1904. ' , . . . . .

As your most fitting motto we would suggest Follow the Juniors. Your instructors recognizing our merits asked us to deliver for your benefit especially, a series of instructive and eloquent orations and essays. And we know by the wrapt attention you gave to all of them that it has been good seed sown on good ground. Always bear in mind the famous exhortation to the Trojans, Beware of the lhorse' U for in a time when you think not you shall fall to speedy destruc- tion.
