The Division of Fine Arts offers majors in Art, Dramatic Arts, and Music. The Division was created in 1976 following faculty Senate adoption of the recommendation of the Task Force on Academic Plan Reform (COP Report). Before that time the components of the Fine Arts Division (Art, Dramatic Arts, and Music) where they existed, were a part of the Division of Humanistic Studies in the College of Science and Society.

Division Chairs

• Eric H. Forrest, 1976-1977
• Rollin Jansky, 1977-1980
• Rhoda-Gale Pollack, 1980-1986

The majority of the files pertain to department development, particularly to the creation of the Dramatic Arts department within the Fine Arts Program. Other files include meeting minutes, play production files, and sheet music. Also included are small prints by faculty members and correspondence, program notes, and over 200 music scores from the office of music professor, August Wegner, as received after his sudden death in November 1993.

The files are organized alphabetically by department, by subject, then chronologically.
