The Former Huslc Department of the University. To Mr. and Mrs. Menzendorf belongs the credit of building up and creating the music de partment of the University. Nine years ago the late Mrs. Menzendorf com menced her work with a class of five pupils. Two years later Mr. Menzendorf commenced his work in the University, and in connection with his private work organized the University orchestra, which has made remarkable progress and has been a credit to the University. The chorus, which grew up from a small num ber, has become a strong and praiseworthy organ ization. The chorus and orchestra separately and combined under the careful and thorough drill of Mr. Menzendorf have been, enabled to render music of the highest order, and the musical people of Lincoln have learned to look forward , to the concerts and recitals of the music depart ment with much pleasure. Through all these years, while the different de partments of the University received the aid and support of the authorities, the music department was left without assistance or encouragement,, to struggle along the best it could. Yet, in spite of the discouraging conditions' under which the instructors have always had to work, the department has flourished and prosr; pered and gained a reputation of highest merit.. The success attained by the department is due entirely to the untiring zeal and efforts of the in-' structors, whose constant aim it has ' been to ele vate the standard of music in the University to the highest possible degree. Although Mr. Menzendorf has severed his con nection with the University he will continue to give private instruction in piano, violin, viola, cello, harmony and theory. Students desiring the best and most thorough instruction at a mod erate price, can make arrangements by calling at the studio, 1 5 1 2 R street, only three blocks from the University. t ATHLETIC NEWS. After two weeks of laboring under difficulties, the foot-ball team is at last beginning to show some signs of organization, and, in spite of the disadvantages which have been met with, the prospects are that the team will be fully as strong as it was last year. The chief trouble is the scarcity of men in practice. There is abundant material in the University this year, from which a winning team could be selected. Yet, half the time there are not enough men out to form two elevens. As long as there is nothing for the team to play against there can be but little improvement. Those who come out and play on the second' eleven are entitled to great credit; for it may almost be said that the second eleven makes the first. Another evil is that there are a few men who think they have a "cinch" on their positions on the team, and therefore do not come out to prac tice unless they feel like it. Without any remarks as to the ability of these men,, if they would stop to think that their presence is of the greatest im portance in the development of team work, they would soon get over the idea that they are too good to need any practice. Every absence on the part of a member of the team interferes greatly m
