Dean Max T. Krone An administrative division within the College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences, the Institute of the Arts consists of the departments of Cinema, Drama, Fine Arts, Radio, Speech, and The School of Music. Although specialized prepa- ration for students in its own majors is the primary function of the Institute, it also offers courses and facilities for students and faculty of every department of the University. Under the direction of Max T. Krone, the Institute has shown a steady progression since it was established in June of 1946. The Institute has been instrumental in developing and presenting courses that were heretofore not considered in the curriculum of a major university. Latest innovation has been the establishment of the first television station on any campus in the country and the conferring of degrees in Television Arts. nstitute of the arts Milton C.

Strevey etters, arts sciences The College of Lette rs, Arts, and Sciences is comprised of some forty departments, cutting across all the arts, the biological and physical sciences, the humanities, and the social sciences. As the oldest col- lege in the University, it is primarily concerned with a broad liberal arts education, but also contains the several professional schools where specialized training is required. Housed in Founders Hall, the college has made tremendous progress in providing needed facilities for both students and faculty and in setting up a revised program of greater interest and value to women students of the University. Charged with watching over and coordinating the vast curricula of the College is Dean Tracy E. Strevey. Educated at Willamette College and the University of Washington, Dean Strevey obtained his Ph.D. at the University of Chicago and began his teaching career at Wisconsin. He came to the University of Southern California as Dean of L.A.S. in 1948, after serving as Chairman of the History Department at Northwestern University. 18

In meetings of the Departmental heads, changes in curricula are discussed along with division policy in an effort to arrive at a balanced teaching policy. The subjects taught in the various departments are analyzed as to possible value for collateral instruction. The division is therefore the integrat- ing mechanism of these four departments. Presiding as Director of the Division is Dr. James W. Buchanan. The Director of Research of the Hancock Scientific Foundation, Dr. Buchanan has been at SC since 1949.
