Fine Ans -. 1 Grace Sellers, Associate Professor of Piano With the new S600,000 fine arts building almost completed, the division of fine arts under the chairmanship of Dr. W.B. Wooldridge has reached a new height. The superior facilities this building will offer should improve Southwestern's already excellent reputation in this area. On tour this year, the a cappella choir traveled to Colorado Springs, Western Kansas, St. Louis and Chicago. Likewise, the orchestra, under Ross Williams, made its way through a snow-covered Kansas in November. Instruction in piano and orga.n, provided by Marie Burdette, Grace Sellers and James Strand, was highlighted the past year with many ex- cellent recitals. The Southwestern band, conducted by Albert Hodges, presented a concert in January as well as a marching display in the fall. Also, Dr. Joe Sims returned from Colombia to resume teaching after establishing a program of music education in that country. The art department, of which Southwestern can be justly proud, is headed by Dennis Akin. His extensive study both at home and abroad has given the art students on campus a personal insight to this always contemporary mode of ex- pression.

library Of the buildings on the campus of Southwestern, perhaps our memorial library is the one building where all students become drawn together. Completed in 1951, the present S181,191 building has a capacity for 50,000 volumes, an improvement over the previous libraries in old North Hall, in Christy Hall and even the basement of the Stewart Field House. Built in memory of the men and women who served in war from Cowley County, the library faces expansion in the very near future to accommodate the growing interest of our students in the various fields. Now under the supervision of Richard Reich, with assistance from Mrs. Ruby Gary in reference and circulation, Mrs. Katherine Stone as order clerk and Mrs. Gladys Dennis as cataloguer, Southwestern's library has served well the needs of the students. The importance of its role inour campus life cannot be overly stressed. Ruby Gary Librarian Assistant to the -- ,f'r-M., R iffilf N Z m 'Ww-.NX 'f ' Q ,E 'fa Gladys R.
