S. Taylor in 1919 was the only member of the music staff with on ly a few small rooms in the gymna sium in which to conduct his class es. T he story ends to date with the record: of eight instructors training over 300 college students and occupying the entire residence just east of the Union building plus a half dozen or more rooms in the Home Economics building. busy instruction Prof. J. S. Taylor, head of the department and a product of five years at Oberlin and t wo years a t. the American Conservatory of Music in Chicago and special train ing under such eminent voice in structors as Carlton Hacket, has built his department on strong fun damentals. He first arranged that no extra fee be charged music stu dents. He then made a practice of giving free - private to all members of the music organiza tions. Working on these principles he has developed a department that is drawing the attention of the en tire state. His work outgrew the small quarters which the athletic department had allowed him and he was forced to move to a residence the Uiiion building now where stands. W h en that was removed the department took quarters in its present location. T he rapid expan sion of the last two years has caus ed an overflow the nearby H o me Economics building. into Music instruction began and con tinues to operate as a department of the College and not as a school of music. No student, then, may though he may take all music, that major in it if the staff finds he is qualified to do so.

Such coun tries as Belgium and England and H u n g a ry have developed very dis tinct associations for rural life im provement, but there are very few investigators or teachers giving full time to rural sociology.

This just as in in agriculture as fields. Fortunately I visited other Geneva and came away with a new admiration for the League of Na tions and what is actually ac it complishing. There is a great deal of talk in Europe about the possi bility or even the probability of a "United States of Europe'', which means, I take it, not one nation, but rather a federation of efforts and mutual aid. true Personally I encountered none of the exhibitions of hatred toward Americans that have been reported. Doubtless, there is much dislike of Americans in most of the countries but I think it arises largely out of a measure of distrust and of fear. Distrust because they cannot under stand why we are not playing the international game with them, and fear because of the danger that the huge American investments that are being made in Europe may lead to economic or even political domina tion. Personally I am of the impres sion that they like us quite as much that as we like them, and if we want better relations, it is for us to take the initiative, partly by gen eral cooperation and partly by a clear-cut policy of economic inter nationalism.

Often, however, when the list was most desired local president or secretary could not be found, so by keeping an accurate list on file at a prominent hotel this list became available at all hours of the day and night, and conse quently it has resulted that a new means has been found whereby alumni spirit can be engendered and encouraged in centers distant from to have the the immediate influence of the Uni versity. In no way does the establishment of an alumni hotel headquarters in the local centers interfere with the local university club.
