The Mandolin and Guitar Club is open to young men who play these instruments. Final membership is decided by competition, and those who become members are associated with the Glee Club in all its concerts. The Military Band is an organization which has already attained a high degree of excellence, and one of which it is a great credit to be a member. It gives one or two concerts during the year, plays on public occasions, and furnishes the music for battalion drill of the Military department. The University Chorus is organized with a view to arousing a musical spirit in the University, and is free to all students. It meets once a week for rehearsal of songs and choruses from the oratorios.

ZOOLOGICAL CLUB

The University Zoological Club is composed of advanced students and instructors in the zoological and physiological departments, together with such other biological instructors and advanced students as are interested in its subjects. Its sessions are devoted to the presentation and discussion of abstracts of recent biological literature and of the results of investigation by the members of the club. It meets weekly in Natural History Hall. SPECIAL ADVANTAGES FOR WOMEN HOUSEHOLD ECONOMICS No course of study is specifically outlined in household economics, but there are certain courses offered regularly, a combination of which affords the student a fair training in some branches of the subject. Such credit is given in each course as the work done justifies. The following courses may be mentioned : 1. Bacteriology (Botany 2). Those who take this course under household economics will devote their time to problems which come specifically within the range of household economy ; fermentation in bread making and other cooking processes, will receive special attention. Those who take the course must have had elementary botany or a course in zoology.
