In addition to these opportunities the students are privileged to hear good music interpreted by artists of recognized ability. A course of artists' concerts is given each season under the management of the department of music. In these concerts, to which' an admission fee is charged, only artists of the best reputation appear. The instructors in the department of music give recitals and lectures on musical subjects during the year. PEDAOOdY The work .of the department of pedagogy is designed for those who desire a more thorough and philosophic knowledge of the principles and practice of teaching than can be gained from the other means of professional preparation furnished by the State. It seeks to give a comprehensive insight into school education, its phases, and problems; and thus to be of special service to those who are to hold commanding positions in school work. The course is elastic, and, in so far as possible, will be adjusted to suit the needs of the classes of students taking the work. PHILOSOPHY The work in this department includes History of Philosophy, Metaphysics, Ethics, and Logic, and is so arranged that the student may take a continuous course for either one or two years. The courses are planned to meet the needs of those who make philosophy their specialty, and also of those who desire an acquaintance with the subject as a means of general culture. It is the constant aim to emphasize the meaning and interest of philosophy and the relations of its problems to the life of man. The subjects are taught by lectures, recitations, and the seminary method.
