Prof. Blake visited the senior composition class recently with his phonograph to take the piano selections which were being played by the members of the class to illustrate certain subjects being studied. Prof. Penny and Miss McCheyne were the victims.
One of the musical treats of the season was the vocal recital given by Prof. Farrell at Music Hall last Wednesday. The hall and gallery were filled and the audience showed their appreciation of the rendition of the solos by hearty applause. Prof. Farrell's improvement in style, and fullness of tone well repay him for his hard study this summer. We hope to hear him often. Following is the program:
Accompanist—MR. PREYER.
Gounod-a Vulcan's song from opera Philemon and Baucis.
Tosti—b "Because of You." MR. FARRELL.
Stange—Damon.
MISS STARR.
Vieuxtemps—Reverie for Violin.
Donizetti—a Rec. e Romanza from Don Sebastiano
Sarjeant—b "Blow, blow."
Shelley—c "The Minstrel Boy."
MR. FARRELL.
Chemistry Notes.
Prof. Weida of Baker gave an interesting talk before the Chemical Seminary on the important events of the summer in the field of chemistry.
Mr. Gerald L.. Holsinger presented the chemical department with an interesting relic in the shape of an hexagonal piece of gunpowder taken from a twelve-inch breech-loading rifle on the Ting Ynen after she had been sunk by the Japenese topedo boats in the harbor of Wei Hai-Wei, China, February 22, 1895.
The students of Chemistry are getting well started with their laboratory work now. In the three laboratories of the department there are one hundred and nine students at work every day.
Mr. H. E. Davies is analysing a sample of water from Cottonwood Falls.
Professor Miller has recently been decorating his room with a number of photo-engravings of astronomical objects. The engravings were made in New York from originals by a Parisian astronomer. They are fifteen in number and represent telescopic views of the nebuli, planets, the milky way, comets, the moon, the zodiacal light, the Lick telescope and others. The collection is a very valuable one, and will be of great interest and assistance to students of astronomy.
