The broad and ever-expanding program of Jordan Conservatory was builded upon a philosophy of Music as an exalting influence in the individual and group life. The amalgamation of the Metropolitan School of Music and the Indiana College of Music and Fine Arts b) ' Mr. Arthur Jordan in 192 8 was dedicated to that concept. In accordance with the plan to develop the most outstanding conservatory of music and allied arts in the middle west, the Arthur Jordan Conservatory of Music was organized and incorporated not for profit. The envi- able traditions of the parent institutions have therefore not only been maintained but greatly extended. The Conservatory is affiliated with Butler University, a member of the North Central Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges, is an institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Music and holds standard accreditment from the Indiana State Department of Public Instruction. The physical facilities have been avigmented. The Administration and Delaware campus buildings, the Student Hall, the Library, the Benjamin Harrison Memorial which is the dormitory for women students, the North and Irvington Units are visible evidences of the growth and stability of the institution. The faculty numbers eighty-five artists of national and international reputation. The courses of study have been enriched. The Conservatory grants baccalaureate and masters degrees and the Conservatory and University confer joint degrees. To many more achievements — the Philharmonic Choir, the Conservatory Orchestra, the vocal and instrumental ensembles, the Departments of Applied Music, Theory, Music Education, Dramatics, Speech, Radio, Language, and Dance — your Alma Mater points with justifiable pride.
