Mr. Darden stated that thus far the faculty had not been able to find a suitable man in
sculpture. The applicants interviewed to date do not have the educational background which the
President feels necessary.
Mr. Darden stated that he did not feel the Board should make a commitment to Mrs. Sloane
until the General Assembly approves an appropriation for the School of Fine Arts. Mr. Black moved
that the President write to Mrs. Sloane, giving her a statement setting forth the recommendations,
spread in the minutes of the November 1947 meeting, of the Special Committee appointed by the Dean
of the College to propose a program of fine arts.
It was the sense of the Board that the President should include this proposal in his next
biennial budget requests to the Legislature.
