Y School of Fine Arts NDER the direction of Dean Theo- dore Kratt, the School of Fine Arts, in its third year of existence as a separate college, has made a large contribution to the general Univer- sity life. The increased variety of courses offered to students is made possible by the grouping of depart- ments as follows: Q15 Architecture, leading to the de- gree of Bachelor of Architecture, Art, offering the possibilities of majoring in Drawing and Paint- ing or Design, and leading to the degree of Bachelor of Fine Arts. . Q31 Music, offering majors in Voice, Piano, Violin, Organ or Com- position, and giving the degree, Bachelor of Music. an tis: welll' c 2 D DEAN THEODORE KRATT . The purpose of the School is to train young men and women for both professional and cultural activities in the fields of Music, Architecture, and Art, and to this end the curricula include not only systematic instruction in the theory, history, and practice of the arts, but also the study of branches of philosophy, language, science, and history which have a direct bearing on those arts. The various courses offered by the college are also available, and are much utilized, as elective subjects by students in other colleges of the University, showing an increased feeling for the value of the fine arts in a liberal education. The School has sponsored a number of recitals and exhibitions, both stu- dent and professional, besides trips to Cincinnati for concerts and exhibits. 22

21 School of Business T COMMENCEMENT, in June 1932, the School of Business Administra- tion, like the senior class, will have rounded out four Miami years. Starting with 322 students four years ago, the School now numbers just four short of 500, of whom 420 are men. Widely recognized as a pion- eer in the new conception of profes- sional business training, perhaps the outstanding contribution of the School to the young men and young Women it has enrolled has been its insistence that four years of under- graduate college life amply enable the individual, first, to obtain the background of culture that We traditionally associate with cultivat- ed men and women and, second, to acquire definite technical information and habits of thought that can be capitalized immediately and continuously in making a living. It is not the purpose of the school to offer highly specialized instruction in various techniques but rather, by emphasizing the fundamentals common to all business, to lay a substantial foundation upon which graduates of the school may build advantageously regardless of the particular field which they may enter. Consequently the major portion of the professional instruction offered by the school lies in the primary fields of business economics, finance, production administration, marketing and control.
