C. Blodgett, organist of the memorial chapel. It is undecided as yet whether the institution wiil be perma- nent. The subject is to be divided into two main topics and the courses will be either combined or separate as the registrar may decide. Ore branch is to be the interpretation of famous composers like Bach, Mozart, Schubert, Chopin and ‘Wagner. This will be assisted by consid- erable study of the piano. The other branch is to be on the History of music and will be devoted sively to lec- | ture work and coliateral reading. Should the two divisions be combined the entire subject will censist of three university hours. If they are taken sep- arately two will be given to the in-| | terpretation and one to the reading. The institution of the course is favored by many and will undoubtedly furnish one of crowded classes. There is at present a similar course at the State University. Dr. Blodgett is an excellent instructor as his experience has been extensive. For the last two years he has Deen the or- ganist of the Stanford Memorial Chapel and director of the student choir of 100 volces.
