This Department of West Vir-
ginia University Is Com
ing More To the Front
ORCHESTRA IS AN OPPORTUNITY
Study in These Lines Not Necessarily
for Purpose Of Following Profes-
slon--Many Gain Proficiency
for Pleasure.

One Of the schools Of the West Vir.
ginia University that is coming In for
more and more recognition Is the
School of Music. This is due, not only
to the effective work Of the faculty OF
this school, but to the changing atti.
tude of people generally toward music
itself. In the past a simple tune set
to some poem, the tune being repeated
for each verse, was a song, and any
instrumental performance that in,
duced the auditor to wag his head or
tap his foot on the floor was sufficient
to satisfy music lovers.
More than ever before Americans
are going in for music as profession,
and music is now taking a consider.
able place in American life.
The School of Music opens up posi-
bilities in the University which are
being appreciated by many students.
a student OF music is no more likely
to follow it as a profession than is a
student Of literature likely to become
a literary light. Music has it's educa,
tional value, particularly in its thee.
retical side, for there is no better men.
tai training than study of Harmony
or Counterpart.
While the age is tending toward spe
cialization, it is worth while to note
the unease of a specialist in a com.
pany of people with whom he is
thrown socially and among whom he
stands alone in his profession; he may
find sympathizers, but he finds no one
with whom he may meet on common
ground The School of Music stands
as factor to meet just such cond.
tlons by giving to students. majoring
IN the sciences, a breadth and sympa.
thy well worth having. 1t is not the
schools aim to make musicians and
teachers of every pupil; and so 1t is
arranged by the University that credit
for work done in music Is allowed to-.
ward literary degrees.
Two departments of the School OF
Music, the Orchestra and the Choral
Society, are worthy of special mention.
The Orchestra, conducted by Miss
Horne, with it's nucleus in her own
violin department and strengthened
by members of the Cadet Band, affords
opportunity for students, whether mu.
sic or literary, who play instruments,
to become acquainted, by actual play
ing. with orchestral works of the great
masters The orchestra often appears
In concerts of its own and in conjunc.
ton with the Choral Society.
The other department, the Choral
Society, directed by Director Black, of
the School of Music, has an equally
broad field. The society is composed
OF students who sing from all depart
ments. 1t gives three concerts each
year. The fall and spring concerts are
given entirely by the society, the pro-
gram either miscellaneous in character
or some choral work. with soloists.
The change from three terms to two
semester, which goes into effect next
year, will bring with 1t many other
changes. Among these there is ono
for which Director Black is bending
his energies. which will bring the
offerings OF the School of Music more
within the reach of the University stu.
dents. This will be announced later.
