Not only did they take over the functions of the inactive Applied Arts Club, but added many new activities to their calendar. Perhaps the highlight of the year was the Beaux Arts Ball where wierdly garbed future artists added a touch of Paris to the Great Hall. Other outstanding events were the Christmas Egg Nog Party, Freshman Mixer, V.I.C. lectures and movies, spring picnic, and the monthly news issues on Swift Hall Doings . Hey, you can ' t read, you ' re in A pplied Arts!

PAGE 26 COLLEGES COLLEGE OF AP PLIED AR TS The College of Applied Arts is an outgrowth of the Department of Architecture which was established as a branch of the College of Engineering and Commerce in 1922. Since that time the curriculum has been expanded to cover all divisions of architecture and art in industry. Within a relatively few years this department grew so much in size and importance that early in 1946 the School of Applied Arts became a separate college under the able guidance of Dean Ernest F. Pickering. Today, more than ever, it is realized that pleasing design increases the value of any article and that the best expression of art should be found in the beauty of things which are in common daily use. The recognition of these concepts by industry and art account for the steadily increasing enrollment of the College of Applied Arts. ERNEST F. PICKERING Dean of the College of Applied Arts
