This school, which was founded in 1906, has enjoyed a most prosperous career. At present it occupies the two brick buildings on Clinton Street, directly opposite the Hall of Natural Science. Through the untiring efforts of Professor Gustav Schoettle, the de- partment has been practically reorganized, and it stands today among the foremost music schools of the Middle West. Professor Gustav Schoettle received his early training at Stuttgart, Germany. Later, he emigrated to this country and located at Kansas City, where he con- tinued in his chosen vocation of musical director. He organized the well-known Schubert Club, a men ' s chorus of nation-wide reputation, and was director of the Kansas City Oratorio Society. In 1910 he was called to the University of Iowa, and under his energies the Depart- ment of Music is rapidly forging to the front. iBepartmimt of Public The Department of Public Speaking has always held a prominent place in the College of Liberal Arts; but since the death of Professor Henry E. Gordon, its growth has been somewhat hindered, owing to the fact that it has had no official head. But next fall, as a department of the College of Fine Arts, under Professor Glenn N. Merry, its newly- elected head, it will be given a new impetus. Professor Merry is well qualified to take charge of this department, for he has had a splendid preparation. He is a graduate of Greenville College Preparatory School, Northwestern University, and the Cumnock School of Oratory. He represented Northwestern University in five inter-collegiate public speaking contests. During the past year, he has been instructor in Public Speaking at the University of Illinois. Iowa is fortunate in securing such a man to head this important department. Iteparttttent of Jffto Arts The Department of Fine Arts, which includes the graphic and plastic arts, will occupy a prominent place in the newly-created College of Fine Arts. This Department has been lately added to the University course of study, and its present development is due largely to the efforts of its head, Charles Atherton dimming. Mr. Gumming, at the age of twelve, began the study of drawing and painting under private tutors; and at the age of twenty he entered the Academy Design, which is now the Art Institute of Chicago. In 1880 he taught draw- ing, painting, and modeling at Cornell College, Iowa; and in 1885 he studied under the best masters of art in Paris. In 1895 he was en- gaged to organize and conduct the Iowa Society of Fine Arts, which ranks with any in the country. The decoration of the Iowa State House, the State Historical Building, the Des Moines City Library. and many other notable buildings throughout the state, speak for his workmanship. In 1909 he was called to direct the Department of Fine Arts in the State University of Iowa, and under his direction it is certain to attain national reputation. 22
