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.

THE GRADUATE DIVISION . l.. , , Lewis Worthington Smith GENTLEMAN ol the old school is silvery- haired Lewis Worthington Smith, dean oi the graduate division, who is as young in spirit as he is old in experience. Only dean the graduate division has ever had, he has an- nounced his resignation, eliective Iune 16, but Will continue at Drake as professor ot English. Courtly and mild mannered, Dean Smith abhors gum chewing and nail filing. Known to Drake students of the past as perpetrator of many fox hunts, he carries that same enthusiasm and lively interest over into his scholastic endeav- ors. He is widely recognized as a writer, having produced two dozen books as well as many magazine articles, poems and plays. Until 1928 all advanced degrees were given by the professional colleges and the college of lib- eral arts. Because of changing conditions in public school education and increasing demand for graduate study, all graduate Work was placed under the direction of the graduate council. Then in 1936 Dean Smith was appointed as adminis- trator of that division oi the university. TI-IE GRADUATE CGUNCIL Daniel Walter Morehouse .... Lewis Worthington Smith .... H.
