Informal arrangements with music teachers in town constituted the only opportunities for students' musical instruction. All lessons were of an extra-curricular nature and no college credit was given. The official college publications illustrated the gradual recognition of music as a field of study but not as a college subject until the final establishment of a music department which occurred in 1894. In the Catalogue for 1874-75 (p.[4]), Georgia B. Gaylord and Professor J.W. Jameson (resigned) were listed as Instructors of Music among the college faculty but no courses in music were mentioned. The Bulletin for 1880-81 provided the following description of its music program: INSTRUCTION IN MUSIC.

Although the twelve tone systemwas formulated by Arnold Schoenberg, itwas Milton Babbitt whose ample but non-professional background in mathematics made it possible for him to identify the links between the music of the Second Viennese School and a formal treatment of the system.
