spirit, its atmosphere of culture, its spirit of service, com- bined with its official standing as a class A college in scholar- ship. It maintains a faculty of recognized standing, small classes with individual instruction, a genuine religious atmos- phere, special courses leading to certificates in music, spoken English, and social service, which enable its students to combine professional training with a broad cultural course, and has a secluded campus in one of the beautiful districts of Pittsburgh, and is within easy access to all that is best in Pittsburgh’s life in music, art and science. The School of Music was organized in 1871 and is the only school of its kind in Pittsburgh and the only one that can offer dormitory accommodations. It gives a profes- sional certificate combined with the A. B. degree. The college was a pioneer in social service. At the time that it was organized in 1908 no social service course was given in other colleges. There were no text-books, for they had not been written. The college invented its own way to teach social service in college. Today, the social service course circulates through the heart of the college curriculum. The beautiful amphitheatre on Woodland road is the scene every two years of the May Day festival, one of the loveliest traditions of the college. Many thousands of people assemble at this time on the hill side to enjoy the beautiful pageant given by the student body and the alumnae children under the direction of the Department of Spoken English. On May 14, 1927, the college presented a May Day festival written by two students, entitled “Deep Sea Caverns.” The college considers this one of the most beautiful of the many pageants it has given. One of the best traditions of the college is the daily living together of teachers and students in an atmosphere of familiar friendship, which is the peculiar privilege of a small institution. This year the college numbers three-hundred and fifty students and graduates a class of sixty-five. In order to carry on its work, new equipment is necessary and plans are being formulated to this end. During the current year, two new houses for residence have been opened and a large building lot on Fifth Avenue adjoining the college campus, has been secured. A loval alumnae. a united faculty and
