The School of Music is Busy.
The University School of Music is
In the midst OF a busy year, with an
enrolment as large as ever before
The various activities Of the school
have brought out some good results in
the student concerts already given and
some splendid things are in course OF
preparation.
The first of a series Of three con-
certs in the Swisher Theater was
given on December by the Mason
String Quartet OF Charleston, W. Va.
This proved to be. aside from the
splendid educational value, most en-
ioyable affair. This organization, with
few more years experience. will
rank with the good ones, and 1t Is
something that musical West Virginia
should be proud Of.
The second concert Of this series is
to be a joint recital by Lucy Marsh
and AVIAN Williams, on February T.
and the third will be song recital by
Alessandro Bonci. the famous Italian
tenor This is a fine series OF con
certs and greatly to the advantage OF
University students.
The first Choral Society Concert was
given in Commencement Hall, on De
cember 10, and was gratifying e1'
position OF what can be done for stu
dents in choral singing.
The program was varied one, open
ing with parts OF Mozart's Twelfth
Mass and including old English part
songs, folk songs, some womens
choruses, and a group Of negro re-
Iigious songs This last group proved
q most unusual innovation on such
program and was heartily received.
The spring concert will be given
about Easter time. The work will be
the Easter cantata, "Olivet to Cal
ware" by Maunder.
The orchestra has in preparation
programs, to be given early In the new
year
This gives University students who
play stringed or wind instruments an
opportunity to play serious musical
compositions that are not met with
| outside the orchestra.
The change In the theoretical de-
partment from twice week 70 daily
recitation, with full University credit
and fifteen hours OF music allowed to
ward a degree In the School Of Arts
and Sciences, has aroused great deaI
OF interest.
Another year will see that depart
ment one OF the busiest in the school
The above report Of this department
OF the University gives ample proof
Of the effectiveness Of the School OIL

Campus Club.
With the advent OF many new face;
among them in September It was
borne in upon the minds OF some Of the
faculty the necessity for an organiza
ton composed OF faculty people thai
would serve to bind together the vari
Gus members into a more homogene
Gus body-to create an esprit de corp,
and a realization OF the fact that
they were all members Of one body
working for one purpose. SO Presi
dent Hodges sent out the call for an
Informal gathering OF the faculty, with
the wives and husbands OF the same
ut the Armory, on the evening Of DC
tober Il. It was literally a faculty
mix" to borrow a phrase from the stu
dents, and It served to introduce every
body else, by means OF the games, etc.
INDUCED In. During the evening TEN
porary committee, composed OF sever
ladies', was appointed to effect a per
manent organization. Out OF this wa:
born the Campus Club, which consists
| OF all women connected with the Uni
versity as active members, the mer
being honorary members. Monthly
meetings are held, four or five o.
which are held at night, when the hon
orary members are entertained. Aside
from the social feature, It is hopet
that at these meetings may be intro
duced matter Of general interest In thu
University-such as Y. W. G. A, Y. NJ
c. A. or Women's League matters. This
second evening meeting was held De
cember when about one hundred ant
twenty-five members assembled in thu
Armory and gathered a beautiful!
decorated Christmas tree. Lieutenan
Weeks, as Santa Claus. distributed tn,
gifts, and great was the merriment a.
each one received the gifts most ap
propriate (?) to him. Christmas re
freshments OF candy, nuts and cook
les, with cocoa and coffee, was served
and the guests went home filled will
the Christmas spirit Of Good VIII.
