Yhe course of study in piano music is graded just as literary studies in the main College, into four years leading to a diploma, and one graduate year leading to the degree Bachelor of Music.

While a pupil may take music only, if he desires, it must be understood that no diploma will be conferred until a certain literary requirement has been met. ‘This University assumes that no student can be a good musician, unless he: knows something more than music. he entire course covers several years of work on pieces by standard classical authors, European and Ameri- can; and insures a very high attainment in piano, Harmony, Counter- point, Analysis, Canon, Fugue, History of Music, Composition and In- strumentation, with sight playing and normal instruction.

Their departments in T. C. U. have gained more in attendance than any other department of the University. THE VIOLIN COURSE.
