You've made the decision to come to Caltech to study. You probably considered many aspects of Caltech life before you made your choice: you were impressed by the hard-earned academic reputation, or the quality of the faculty, or the unique and special realities of undergraduate life. Consider what you will do to be creative in fields of learning other than math and physics. Every student here needs some release from academic pressures, and being a part of the Glee Club is an excellent diversion from the often daunting workload.

Reasons set downe to perswade every one to learne to singe.
-William Byrd, 1588

1. First, it is a knowlede easily taught, and quickly learned, where there is a good Master, and an apt Scholar
2. The exercise of singing is delightfull to nature, and good to preserue the health of Man
3. It doth strengthen all parts of the brest, and doth open the pipes
4. It is the best means to procure a perfect pronunciation, and to make a good orator.
5. It is the onely way to know where Nature hath bestowed the benefit of a good voyce' which guift is so rare, as there is not one in a thousand that hath it: and in many, that excellent guift is lost, because they want Art
   to express Nature.
6. There is not any Musicke of Instrument whatsoeuer, comparable to that which is made of the Voyces of Men, where voyces are good, and the same well sorted and ordered.

Since singing is so good a thing I wish all Men would learne to singe.
