FINE AND APPLIED ARTS The program of the school has been developed upon two basic objectives which have con- tributed definitely towards its ever increasing success. The first calls for a continuously changing program that synchronizes with the best professional practices. This is possible of realization only when the faculty and student body work together in terms of the business and art activities prevalent in the commercial and industrial worlds. To support this pro- gram, a corps of instructors has been secured who are themselves leaders in the various professional art fields. Under their direction the student develops an attitude of seriousness and application resulting in a wholesome professional atmosphere. At the conclusion of the three years of such a program of study, the graduate has no gap to bridge between his art training and the workaday world. {|The second objective, predicated upon the first, main- tains that the educational intent of the Art School is fully realized only when all its graduates are employed in the professional art field for which they are tr ained. Since the Placement Bureau has an increasing demand for graduates with art experience, we accept, as a supple- mentary objective, the challenge to place every graduate in a position commensurate with his ability and training. In addition, the Placement Bureau actively participates in the advance of its alumni to their maximum capacity service. James C. BoupREAv, Director.
