The university has been fortunate in this department in being able to build upward from the foundation, whereas many older colleges have had to struggle with the attempt to reconstruct from, the top downward. Music in universities, as well as in public schools, has undergone radical changes in the past 10 or 12 years, and music is coming; Into its own. Kducators are realising tbat it Should be made an inherent part of Bchool life, not merely an ornamental flourish of no serious value, and Minnesota is singularly fortunate in having a director of music at its university who appreciates this value, with a president and board of regents behind him vho realizes it also and are willins to have the department developed alonz modern and right lines.

Plans for Coming Year. Carlyle Scott, director of music at tho university, when asked for an outline of his standards and plans, responded, in effect, as follows: "The ideal before us at Minnesota has been to keep the standards right at all times, according to both musical and academic demands. This was bound to take time. Kestilts are now evident and we have a real music school of university grade. "Yonr article r.f last Sunday did us an injuftire.

We have been striving for some time to have musif, put on the list with accredited subjects. Such action was taken lat sprine and it is a fine" impression wherever they have gone and are constantly in demand for concert engagements. The responsibility for each program has fallen upon my shoulders and we have endeavored to present only the befc-4a all phases of music. "The Lyceum Bureau of the General Extension Division has made great strides in the past two, years in providing high grade concerts and lectures for the people of the state. Over 130 towns have bought courses for the coming season and 1 see a bright future for Minnesota musicians in this particular field.

At present we are securing many of our companies from outBide the state because of lack of organization on the part of local musicians. As you know, in Lyceum business, contracts are made one year in advance, and our local people aro not as yet prepared to enter into agreements so far ahead. We hope to engage more Minnesota artists from year to year. A Degree Given, "These are a few of the things we are doing and planning to do in a general way. Specifically, we are endeavoring to do our bit with the students who are coming to us for their musical education.

OnTy high school graduates are admitted to our courses, and at the end of four years the degree of Bachelor of Arts in Music is given. Here is an opportunity for the young musician of the state to acquire a broad Phones N. W. Main C808. T.

To Establish Singing Schools. "The establishment of social centers in the smaller communities is something we hear mii'-h discussed and to my niind there is no more potent force to aid in the development of this community spirit than music.

It is tho plan of tho University Music department, in co operation with the extension division (general and agricultural) to send to the communities desiring such assistance, an efficient organizer and competent leader who will establish singing schools or choral societies. Where possible the organization may be left under a local director for routine work. "At certain periods several of these societies will then combine under a general plan and bold county festivals similar to those held in some parts of the East. Here is a great opportunity for the university to render valuable service to the state. An Important Factor.
