- a COLLEGE OF FINE ARTS To further culture, to fit the student for a professional or educational career in the arts, and to foster worthwhile entertainment for the Ohio University campus is the purpose of the College of Fine Arts, under the keen and intelligent direc- tion of Dean Earl C. Seigfred. The schools of Dramatic Art, Music, Painting and Allied Arts comprised the general divisions of the Fine Arts College until a few years ago, when the Department of Photography was added to the Fine Arts curricula; students may major in any one of the four fields, and in the case of Dramatics, Music, and Painting and Allied Arts, must fill the requirements of a 12-hour minor in the two remaining fields. Last year the University Theatre produced such plays as Arsenic and Old Lace, Lost Horizon, The Song of Bernadette, a beautifully-done dramatiza- tion of the Werfel novel, and Junior Miss, plus monthly Playshop bills of two or more one-acts, and a presentation of Our Town, sponsored by National Collegiate Players, senior dramatics honorary. Voice and instrumental recitals gave music students an opportunity to appear before the public several times during both semesters; exhibits of oil paintings, water colors, sculp- ture, and designs on display at inter- vals in the Edwin Watts Chubb Library, as well as photography ex- hibits in the Photography Laboratory in the Fine Arts building mark the progress of students majoring in Painting and Allied Arts, and Photo- graphy, respectively. WOUB, the Ohio University radio station of the Intercollegiate Broad- casting System, is another proving ground for artistic talents and ener- gies.

MILITARY STAFF In 1936, when the R.O.T.C. program was first established on the Ohio University- campus, a military staff, consisting of commissioned officers and enlisted men in the United States Army, was added to the faculty to conduct military training at OU. With the advent of the Army Specialized Training Program in 1943 the staff was enlarged to include ten commissioned officers and fifteen enlisted men, who functioned under the leadership of Lt. Col. John E. Brannan, Professor of Military Science and Tactics, who was also commandant of the ASTP. During the past year, the Army Specialized Training Reserve Program comprised the bulk of Ohio University ' s military department, and when the program was disbanded in December of 1944, the staff was reduced accordingly. The re- maining officers reverted to their original status as Army heads of the Reserve Officer ' s Training Corps, and faculty members in the Department of Military Science and Tactics. Staff headquarters are maintained on the basement floor of Carnegie Hall, and official military business is transacted by Major Raymond A. Lee ihrough the efficient departmental secretary, Miss Bertha Vickers. 23
