The special Committee in respect to the School of Fine Arts, appointed October 8, 1947, by the
Dean of the College in pursuance of a resolution of the Rector and Visitors has the honor to submit the
following report.
The Committee recommends,
1. That the facilities of the McIntire School of Fine Arts be expanded sufficiently to provide;
(a) Elementary courses in drawing, modeling, and creative design suitable for election by any
candidate for the degree of Bachelor of Arts; and
(b) Advanced courses in drawing and modeling and elementary painting, sculpture, and graphic
arts of an adequate number and variety to make a strong field of concentration as major subjects for the
Bachelor of Arts degree.
2. That in order to carry out the above program there should be added to the faculty a teacher
of drawing and graphic arts, a teacher of advanced drawing and painting, a teacher of modeling and sculpture,
and a part time teacher of creative design; and also a fine arts librarian; and further, expanded
resources for the Fine Arts Library and the Museum of Fine Arts be provided.
The Chairman of the Committee has prepared the attached appendixes that are informative of
existing and needed facilities to carry out the two recommendations. The Committee transmits these
appendixes as the special statement of the member of the Committee best in position to give the information.
