Art gives perm- anent pleasure, but it is a sharable pleasure. One of its main purposes is to unite mankind.

Professor Verder has had work in this subject under Professor XYinter of Harvard University and Professor Clark of Chicago L'niversity. The work in the Course has consisted of a careful study of the book entitled, Interpretation of the Printed Page , by Professor Clark, the taking of notes on the subject of enunciation and articulation, and drill work in the study of selections for recitations. Special attention has been laid upon the importance of Vitalizing the tongue in the enunciation of words. and correcting life-long incorrect habits of pronunciation. Exercises for developing resonance in the voice have been insisted upon from the first, and a firm basis laid for better speaking in the individual. It is a pleasure to hear a person speak the mother-tongue fairly correctly and euphoniously, apart from any attempt at public declamation. Furthermore, to master the words of a given composition for public delivery, is not always a difficult taskg but to be able to express the author's thought correctly in all its minuteness, is often a task requiring infinite pains and in- 19213 4 vpartnwnt finite patience. Prof. Verder has attempted to show those who have taken Expression the aesthetic possibilities in in- terpreting selections taken from the writings of accredited authors. From time to time public exhibitions have been furnished the students and their friends by members of the Expression Class and by Prof. Verder. Prof. Verder has attempted not so much to instruct the students in impersonation as in straight reading and speaking. lt has been his aim to in- culcate in his students a desire to express orally so well the great thoughts of the world as found in various authors that their hearers will want to listen to them frequently. It is a noble accomplishment to be able to communicate to others the great ideals of life as found on the printed page. Considerable progress has been made in this subject by those who have undertaken the work. Among these are the Misses Harding, Mary and Gladis, Grace King, Maud Lelfev- er, Anita Labart, and Marian Roughnerg and the Messrs. Lar- son. Conner. Fletcher, lfarner. Mohler. and Macagba.
