...however, every cadet, in addition to the compulsory course in calisthenics, gymnastics, riding, etc., is also required to participate a certain number of times during the year in each of the major sports such as football, baseball, soccer. Attendance is by cadet company, the companies participating en masse and taking turns at each of the sports included in the schedule. Participation in polo, golf, tennis and other minor sports is optional, but for those volunteering for these sports competent coaches and instructors are furnished to teach correct principles and methods...
...Music Department are Music 3 and 4. Both of these courses are so planned as to be of interest to men with either a slight knowledge of music or none at all, but unfortunately they are both restricted in numbers. This restriction, especially since men below a certain academic standing, are the ones discriminated against, is unfortunate in view of the increasing number of men interested in the music. Mechanically an increase in numbers could readily be taken care of by having an extra assistant in each course, and any danger of their being crowded with men who considered them...
...first place the numbers added each year to the classes of musical appreciation at the Music School, while the eminence of the teacher may be the cause of drawing a certain group, indicate a general desire to acquire some sort of idea of "what music is all about."

But these general observations are less stable than actual figures; occasionally economic facts are more digestible.

Perhaps of all the arts it requires less intensive study and knowledge to become an appreciative and intelligent listener of good music. And while a certain amount of affectation is admitted, it is not credible that a large percentage of undergraduates will be affected to the extent of paying out fifteen-dollar lump sums for appearing to be an appreciator of good music. There is no one urging the majority to buy records, to hear music, by telling them what "finer men" they may become if they listen to Beethoven's "Seventh" every evening. Certainly a judicial, unprejudiced individual would...
...also been announced that Vanderbilt Hall has been this year for the first time arranged on a club basis. This system, called the Vanderbilt Club, is somewhat comparable to the plan of the Harvard Union, in that the dues are $10 per year, and certain privileges are received in return. All members of the Medical School are eligible for membership, and they receive both the use of the dining hall, and of the new library. Members not living in Vanderbilt Hall get locker accommodations free of charge...
