GRADUATE SCHOOL Devoted to the pursuit of higher knowledge in the particu- lar fields chosen by its students, the graduate school of LSU is separated from the hustle and bustle of the undergraduate colleges. Its enrollment zooming to 1180 students this year, proves the fact that more students today are interested in spe- cialized learning and the integration of the arts and sciences of our era. HOMER L.

DR. BARRETT STOUT Director of the School of Music SCHOOL OF MUSIC The School of Music was established as a School in 1931, with Dr. H. W. Stopher as the first Director. Before that date it had func- tioned as a department. The school became a member of the National Association of Schools of Music in the same year. The educational purpose of Louisiana State University School of Music is directed toward assisting the individual student to the fullest possible development of his innate musical gifts and helping him to make the musical arts a constructive cultural asset in his own life and that of his fellow men, to the extent that this will be compatible with his own interest and happiness and that of the community in which he will live. The school furthermore aims to provide opportunities to the great- est possible number of students to share in the heritage of the musical culture of the human race and in turn to contribute to this culture. Some of the annual activities the school sponsors are: Festival of contemporary music; opera productions; instrumental and vocal clin- ics; band, orchestra and choral concerts.
