MUSIC The harmony of creation is hinted at in a well-written symphony. Twelve distinct tones blend into one symphony, and the wonder of music unfolds. This universal language speaks to the mind and to the spirit in a way which inspires and enriches both. The members of the Department of Music are concerned with encouraging the students to appreciate great musical achievements of the past and present and to develop their artistic abilities in vocal and instrumental expression. Through private lessons, classroom instruction, and individual and group performances students are encour- aged to develop their individual potentials. a Elaine Patton realizes that excellence requires much practice.

Hutcheson, M.A. Rudolph E. Sanders, M.A. Assistant Professor Instructor (Chairman) Varied feelings and emotions are trans- formed into tangible realities which become a lang uage of their own. Several times during the year art students share their works in shows which demonstrate their own creativity and en- courage others to develop aesthetic awareness. Courses in drawing, design, painting, and sculp- ture give opportunity for individual expression and increased competence in all forms of art from the starkly realistic to the abstract. Be- sides training those who plan careers in art and in teaching, the department serves all students by helping them gain knowledge and apprecia- tion of the broad scope and traditions of art. 27

Thompson, M.A. Instructor Instructor (On Leave, 1968-69) ENGLISH From Beowulf to Virginia Woolf, the whole scope of literary accomplishment is the prov- ince of the Lipscomb English major. Simple beauty and profeund truth are communicated through the medium of the written word in literature courses. Students are introduced to creative minds both of preceding and contem- porary times, and they are encouraged to de- velop their literary potentials and skills. Proper grammar is essential to effective com- munication. In composition courses students master basic grammatical skills and acquire competence in research methods. Apprecia- tion of literature and expression of ideas by each student is the aim of the faculty. A Cynthia C. Dilgard, M.A. Constance M. Fulmer, M.A. Samuel C. Gant, M.A. Instructor Instructor 29
