Department of Musi; and Art.

If a sufficient number of pupils re-
gister for the courses, the University
will open a Department of Music and
Art, at the beginning of the second
semester, Feb. Q, 1908. There has
been for some time a demand for such
a department but the proper facilities
were lacking The erection of the
new library and museum building will
relieve in part the overcrowded con-
dition in University Hall and fur
nish rooms for this new department
The aim will be to make the courses
both thorough and practical as far as
they go. The University will not
endeavor as yet to give a complete
education in music and art. The
Object rather will be to supplement
the regular high school and college
courses now offered, enabling the
student who desires to round out an
education with music and art to do so
at the same time the regular course is
being followed. Up to this time there
has been no place in the Territory
where this combination of studies
could be obtained. The University
offers in it's regular courses high school
work along English, Latin and Scien-
tifc lines. This includes Shop-work
and Drawing for young men, Domestic
Science and Physical Culture for
l. IL
ograph and Comercial Law. Ia the
college complete courses leading to
the degrees of Bachelor of Science and
Bachelor of Philosophy are offered.
Graduates of the University who have
taken the courses in Pedagogy receive
without examination the Territorial
Teachers Certificate A student
while taking the courses in music and
art may take the regular courses out
lined in the Annual Register or such
special courses as may be approved by
the committee on registration. The
courses in the new dep ,rtment will ia
clude piano and vocal music. drawing,
oil painting. water color painting and
china painting.
EXPENSES.
All students are required to pay the
m articulation fee of S5 on entering.
AS none of the funds by which the
University is supported are available
for the Eayment of a teacher of music
and art, following the custom in all
other colleges where this department
has been established, a small tuition
fee will be charged which will be used
to pay the instructor and support the
department. This fee for the present
has been fixed by the Board of Reg
ents at S25 per semester for each
course, two lessons per week being the
normal number. Students in this de-
partment will be entitled to all the
privileges of library, dormitory, etc.,
granted to the other students of the
University. Room and board in the
dormitories cost SIC per month. The
University has two pianos which
pupils in music will be allowed to use.
The department will be in charge of
Miss Lucy Adelia Brownell who has
studied at the New England Conser-
vatory of Music and also in Germany,
France and Italy. She has had a
wide experience in teaching and comes
with the highest recommendations. 1t
is hoped that the people of the Ter
ritory may realize the advantages
offered by this department in connec-
ton with the other departments of
the University and will show their
appreciation by their cordial support
1t is no long necessary to so outside
the Territory to get complete educ
alton.
