The major courses are: In composition, 104A-104B and 105A-105в; in performance, 109A-109в (in special cases one half of course 101A-101в or 102 may be taken in place of course 109B); in Musicology 111A-111в and 112A-112B. (These courses are given in alternate years.) Honor-students in the Upper Division.-Students in the honor-group who have completed the major in music with distinction may receive honors in music at graduation by showing ability to do original work either in composition or in a thesis upon a musicological subject. Honor-students will be allowed special privileges in the use of the library and the music building. Five-hour Courses.-The schedule contemplates the combination of certain two and three-hour courses of complementary character in a five-hour series, with the following plans of enrollment: AB-17, AB-1, 10a-6a, 5A-6A, 101A-109A.
