Dean Crawford Refutes Need For Construction Curriculum ' The engineering college does not plan to offer a special curriculum in construction, Dean Ivan C. Crawford said yesterday. Dean Crawford disagreed with Harold W. Richardson, executive editor of "Construction Methods," who in an address before the American Society of Civil Engi- neers, advocated "basic college training in practical aspects of the construction industry, with spe- cial emphasis on labor relations." Construction Careers Richardson declared that, while a few civil engineering schools do make an attempt to include con- struction courses and a few more Prof. Franklin B. Rote of the metal processing and chemical and metallurgical engineering de- partments has been appointed sec- retary of the gray iron division, section size relationships commit- tee of the American Foundrymen's Association. offer a smattering of subjects somewhat related to the business, "in no case is a real serious effort made to train students for a life construction career." Dean Crawford pointed out, however, that civil engineering courses at Michigan are designed to offer the student extensive preparation for advanced con- struction courses. No full curricu- lum in construction is offered, he said, and there are no plans for one. Greatest Obstacle Richardson also charged that the greatest obstacle in introduc- tion courses in technical colleges "seems to be a reluctance on the part of civil engineering schools to adopt new courses or to read- just the curriculum." Pointing out that there is a reg- ular 'overhaul' of the engineering college curriculum, Dean Craw- ford said that actually there is no demand here for the construction curriculum suggested. Fenuton Display Shows U' Art Painctis and w orkm in ceramics done by faculty members of the architecture college are being dis- played this week in the Fenton Community Center, Fenton, Mich. The exhibit, which was largely assembled by Karl A. Kasten, fac- ulty member, was sent in response to a letter requesting art work from the University to put on dis- play. The Extension Division of the University cooperated with the architecture school in sending the material.

Fine Arts Vital to World's Progress, Fairbanks Says By MARION BLANCETT t Art is a very practical profes- sion and should be part of the whole scheme of advancement of a people, according to Dr. Avard Fairbanks, recently appointed' dean of the new School of Fine Arts at the University of Utah. A world-recognized sculptor. who came to the University as a resident artist in 1929 through a grant by the Carnegie Foundation, Dr. Fairbanks now holds the posi- tion of associate professor of sculp- ture here. When he takes up his new position at Utah, he plans to establish his policy of art as a necessary, integral part of prog- ress. World-wide Outlook "The new school in the heart of the West is to have a national and world-wide outlook," Dr. Fair- banks said. "It is to become a model for thoroughness of train- ing with knowledge and truth as the objectives of creative art, in- stead of dilettantism, the tawdry, and distortion." By means of ex- panded educational opportunities he hopes to bring the profession of the arts to public recognition similar to that which is now ac- corded those of law, medicine, and others which render significant service to human needs and wel- fare. Besides appearing in exhibitions all over the United States, Dr. Fairbanks' work has been shown at the Grand Salon of Paris and at the World's Expositions since 1915. In 1943 a committee of the Can- adian Parliament commissioned him to create a bust of Prime Min- ister W. L. Mackenzie King. The original bronze bust is located in the Canadian Parliament Build- ing. During the war Dr. Fairbanks designed a medal, "Courage," which Prime Minister King pre- sented to Winston Churchill. Automotive Consultant He has. been a consultant on feature design for automotive in- dustries. He also organized the course in industrial design given through the Extension Division of this University, collaborating with the Society of Automotive Engi- neers and the engineering college. Dr. Fairbanks won two schol- arships with the Art Students' League in New York, studied in Paris, and was awarded a Guggen- heim Fellowship to Florence, Italy, in 1927. He obtained his master's and doctor's degrees from the grad- uate school here and received the degree of Bachelor of Fine Art§ at Yale and Master of Fine Arts at the University of Washington.
