""~ L1sic DCpdrL1l1enL Music has a refining quality" that rounds out the character and develops a capacity for greater joy and happiness. Harding has always recognized this fact and given prominence to the department. That Harding stresses the Music Department is shown by th! fact that the teachers are the most thorough and competent that can be obtained. Under the direcr:on of Exene Carolyn Benefield the department has grown during the past year. New courses have been added and the music curriculum has become more closely connected with the regular college work than ever before. Perhaps most significant of the recent additions co the music courses is the class in Public School mus;c. This class is of primary interest to prospective teachers. It help:; them in p!anning school activities, in teaching children a bener appreciation of music, and it gives to both prospective teacher and student a bener understand· ing of Glee Club and Chorus work. In fact, it furnishes a go::>d musical foundation on which to build. The Chorus, with a membership of some forty colleges, high school and special students, has proved an interesting and wor:hwhilt: organ ization thi s year. Practices have been held on Monday an:! Thursday evenings. College credit is given for work in this branch of the department; this serv!s as an incentive to more regular anendance and a finer type of work. One student, Miss Pauline Gardner, is the only one to finish certificate work in Piano this year. Miss Gardner is worthy of commendation for her splendid work. The student body will long rcmemb:!r her in association with the dispersions from chapel. /
