Equipment.—The work offered re-establishes the instruction outlined in
the first curriculum of the University, 1818, the earliest proposal for instruction
in art, architecture, and music in any American University. An unrivalled
background is provided for it by the buildings and environment of Charlottesville;
the University group, with its old buildings specially designed to furnish
examples of the various orders "as specimens for the architectural lectures,"
its new buildings designed by Stanford White; the works of sculpture by Houdon,
Ezekiel, Bitter, Borglum, Keck, Shrady, and Aitken; the paintings and
Chaloner and others; the concerts and exhibitions of paintings brought
to the University with part of the income of the McIntire fund. For the current
work in Art and Architecture there is generous provision of casts, books,
photographs and lantern slides.
For music, the school has two concert grand pianos, an Ampico reproducing
grand piano and an orthophonic victrola. A full set of band instruments purchased
and maintained under the supervision of the Alumni Association, double
basses, kettle drums, and various other unusual instruments for the use of students
in the orchestra, a comprehensive library of chamber music, orchestral
scores and parts, operas and piano classics, as well as books of reference on musical
subjects and collateral reading. There are also available for the Music Department
a three-manual Skinner organ in Cabell Hall and a three-manual Moeller
organ, the gift of Paul Goodloe McIntire in connection with the McIntire
Amphitheatre, and a two-manual practice organ in the University Chapel. The
following gifts have been made to the musical library: by Mr. Iredell Jenkins,
a valuable collection of operas, oratorios, light operas, piano music, first editions;
by Professor Gardner Lloyd Carter, piano music and books on musical subjects;
by Mr. Charles Orchard, a set of biographical works.
