' ' Design was completed in ’59 for the proposed National Cultural Center, to be located on the bank of the Potomac in Washington. Within the last seventy years, architecture has made a transition from the cluttered and ugly to the clean and beautiful. The genesis of Frank Lloyd Wright has been sustained by the work of perhaps the most famous UofA alumnus. But going beyond Wright, this man has instituted his own style which is widely copied. Today’s foremost architect, Edward D. Stone (Att. ’23), has con¬ tributed much to the UofA, having designed many of its new buildings. —Karsh-Ottawa.

The Fine Arts Center at dusk—within its walls are the complete facilities for the pursuit and assimilation of the Arts. INE ARTS ever ceasing is the effort to convey the thought, the sound, the movement to another’s un¬ derstanding; for this is art. As the composition of the tableau is vital, so too is the choreography of the bal¬ let. An exceptional artist seeking this perfection is a Uof A graduate. In the Fine Arts Center Concert Hall, a faculty trio gives one of many concerts which are offered to both the University and Fayetteville communities. Performing in the Severo School of Ballet, Detroit, David McLain (BSE ’S3) has done outstanding work in choreography and teaching for the school.
