I, S DR. LOUISE DUDLEY iuifiion of wmanified Next to religion, art is the thing that makes life worth living. This statement made by Dr. Louise Dudley illustrates the main purpose of the Humanities Division of Stephens College. The art, music, literature, drama, and humanities staffs have as their predominant objective the promotion of the students' happiness through the medium of greater appreciation, enjoyment, and understanding of the fine arts. The enjoyment of the arts is everyone's privilege, and they must be known and understood before they can honestly be enjoyed. Just as a friend becomes more and more valuable as new traits, beliefs, and philosophies are revealed, the arts become more indispensable and enjoy- able as new understanding and appreciation are gained. Recently introduced into the Humanities Division are various practical classes. The Home Furnishing classes develop appreciation through actual applications of the fundamentals of home furnishing. Beginning Page 27 Acting, Practical Music, Introduction to Art, Master- pieces of Literature, and the History of Music classes have a like approach. ' The Humanities Division is responsible for the personal libraries students are allowed to keep in their rooms, the paintings in the residence hall parlors, and the art displays from which a student may choose a paint- ing for her room. The Division is also active in sponsor- ing faculty and student concerts and plays. The enthusiasm shown by Dr. Dudley, head of the Humanities Division since 1927, serves as an inspiration to all those who work with her. A true sense of values is more important today than ever before. To develop and maintain this sense of values, it is essential to develop and maintain an ap- preciation of the fine arts. Toward this goal the efforts of the Humanities Division' are directed.
