School of Theology T DR, PAUL B. KERN TNCE Southern Methodist University is a Methodist Institution, the School of Theology was necessarily of prime importance in the founding of S. M. Lf, and has continued to be one of the most important units in the school. As official Theological Seminary for the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in the territory west of the Mississippi, it has undertaken to train ministers for the great South- west and its graduates are rapidly climbing to the foremost ranks of the ministers of the Southern Methodist Church. For the last two years the expansion of the School has been particularly great due to its removal into a building of its own, Kirby Hall, the gift of Mr. and Mrs. R. Harper Kirby. The School of Theology has always had an able faculty, but the leader of the School in its success has been its Dean, Dr. Paul B. Kern, a man fully competent to teach the young ministers the abiding principles of Christianity and Methodism. Dr. Kern has been a source of inspiration to the entire student body. He is wholly sincere and as the students friend has made himself loved and respected. Page 28

School of Music PA UL VAN TQATXNIJ K OUTHERN METHODIST UNIVERSITY is fortunate in having as Dean of the School of Music a man who stands foremost in the ranks of the leaders of Music in the Southwest, but her good fortune does not stop there for the rest of the instructors are also recognized as leaders in Southwestern Music. The ability of the faculty has not failed to attract students and the enrollment of the School has steadily grown. The graduates of the School have become leaders in musical activities in their various parts of the State and the recognition of the S. M. U. School of Music should be very gratifying to Dean Van Katwijk and his staff. The concerts are always well attended and regular weekly programs are given over VVFAA to the delight of the radio public. With the completion of the McFarlin Auditorium, the School of Music will have separate quarters which will be better suited to the growing needs of the School, and in the new Auditorium lovers of music in Dallas may look forward to some great programs.
