There are at least a hundred stir dents in this college' who play bans or orchestra instruments and man others interested in glee and -man dolin clip work. At the rate the college isgrowing, it is ,very evidfln that ther will soon be , a pleat man students Who will not be, able to re 1, nerve instruction in music or mak, the clubs because of the limited siz: of the organizations, A school oft music should ID: fbrmed, if possible, to direct an give some permanency to our musical organizations and develop lateni musical talent among our students. Such a schoos would be self sup porting after the initial expense be cause of the tuition charged for pri li sate instruction.
