Leadership on the national scene has long been provided by universities and Dr. Klotsche feels they must now foster leadership on the urban level as well. A university’s role is not to remain aloof in its ivory tower, but to become involved in the complex and often controversial problems of urban life. The different departments and functions of UWM reflect its degree of involvement in community life in the spheres of education, culture, and social problems. Chancellor Klot-sche’s view is that as the requirements of society change, new dimensions in the university’s programs will be added to respond to new needs of the community and to penetrate the urban area to a greater degree with its research and training programs. New dimensions in UWM’s curricula focusing on action in metropolitan areas have already been put to use. These additions are in answer to an increasing need for well-educated people with a background of applied as well as basic knowledge of broad problems of urban life. Dr. Klotsche believes that there is, and ought to be, a close interaction between university and city. However, he feels that the university should not get so involved in the urban area that it loses its identity. Chancellor Klotsche looks to UWM to retain its distinctive identify in Milwaukee as well as to expand even more than it has up to the present. He feels that, in the future, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee will be established as a maior university attracting national attention. GUIDES TO PROGRESS. . J. Martin Klatafca CteectllM Chart .

SCHOOL OF FINE ARTS Although the School of Fine Arts was created only three years ago, it has become a giant on campus. With the completion of the Fine Arts complex next year, the School of Fine Arts will provide a theater, art building, music building and lecture-auditorium in addition to many classrooms. This alone is evidence of the growing importance placed on the arts by the university. The school, headed by Dean Suppan, is committed to presenting the highest quality curriculum possible in the fine arts, to offering to all students the means of learning more about the arts and to developing the role of the arts in the Milwaukee area. This is all brought about through courses in general art education and specific professional training. Many concerts and exhibitions are presented throughout the year, including the summer Festival of Arts, with artists from the university as well as internationally famous guest artists.
