Numbered among the more progressive and better known schools offering instruc- tion in the oral arts, the School of Speech presents a completely modern curriculum under the leadership of capable, up-to- date professors. Situated as it is at the very doorstep of hlollywood and the center of the cinema and radio world, it is only natural that the School of Speech would pay especial at- tention to the field of dramatics, radio speech, and allied divisions of such tech- niques. Students are given unusual opportunities through the University play productions department to present experimental pro- ductions of many modern dramas, many of which have won favorable cinema and playwright comment. Much credit must be given Dean Ray K. Immel for his untiring efforts In success- fully directing the program of this division of the University. In addition to his teach- ing and administrative functions, Dean Im- mel Is president of the local chapter of Phi Kappa Phi. Members of the School of Speech fac- ulty, ail of whom are distinguished In their particular fields, include Dr. Grafton P. Tanquary, Dr. Alan Nichols, and Professors Cloyde D. Dalzell, Alta Hall. Tacie Hanna Rew, and Florence B. hHubbard.
