COLLEGE of FINE ARTS, ORTE of talented students who can, with their hands, their voices and their hearts create beauty, the fine arts college is a vital part of the university. Operas, concerts, dramatic productions, art exhibits,-all these and more the fine arts college offers to the life of Drake as we know it. From practice room to recital hall, from play tryouts to curtain calls, from rough sketch to oil painting, the chief aim of the college is lor individual improvement and for individual creation and interpretation of beauty. 7 To the uninitiated, Howard hall, center of the fine arts dominion, presents a bewildering array of competing sounds and cooperating activities. Shakespeare, Wagner, Sousa and Grote all add their bit to the general confusion but, undisturbed, Herbert Gould, dean of the college, pre- sides over them all. Possessor of a superb bass voice, Dean Gould came to Drake in 1934 after years of experience as a soloist in grand opera. From leading songs at pep assemblies to singing concert roles, from personifying dignity to punning with his students, he is the acme of versatility and adaptabil- ity. His hearty, contagious laugh and sympathetic geniality express the spirit of the fine arts college and spread his personality over the entire campus. Carefully groomed, he rarely appears in a hat. Is an ardent gardener, never lacking for a hobby. The fine arts college was originally known as the musical department, its name being changed successively to the college of music, the school of music and the conservatory of music. ln 1909 the school was re- organized as the college of fine arts under which name it has remained except for the period from 1912 to 1923 when it was designated as the institute of fine arts.

Hoffman Since 1920 Lynden E. Hoffman has been a part of Drake-first as professor of accounting, then as acting dean and, since 1934, as dean of the col- lege of commerce and finance. Understanding and Whimsical, he is far too young in spirit not to see through a1l the tricks the college student has to offer. impervious to both apple polishing and loluffing, Dean Hoffman settles many a problem with a quizzical look and a common sense philosophy. Quiet and unassuming he can, on occasion, ex- plode in righteous wrath. Is known all over the campus for his brisk Walk and ever-present pipe. A. R. BURTON IULIETTE C. DEVIN MERRILL B.
