MUSIC SCHOL HEAD:
Dean Moore Reviews Past 40 Years
4
By DAVID KAPLAN
An Artist Diploma in Organ
from the University School of Mu-
sic in 1910, was the beginning of
Dean Earl V. Moore's close, 40-
year association with the Univer-
sity.
After he received his diploma,
Dean Moore traveled in Europe,
studied with such famous musi-
cians as Boult, Holst and Heger
and returned to the University in
1914. The following year he re-
ceived his M.A.
Since 1914, he has held various
teaching positions, until he was
made the music school's Director
in 1923 and its Dean in 1946.
Basic Program Started
Looking back to his early days
as Director, Dean Moore recalls
that in 1923, the mpusic school had
Just started a four-year basic pro-
gram in the training of a profes-
sional musician.
Only a Bachelor's degree was
given until the Master's of Music
was added in 1929, a PhD in 1944
and a Doctor of Musical Arts in
1954.
"In those days," Dean Moore
says, "all the school did was pro-
vide lessons and a few courses, like
a conservatory. I was responsible
for admissions, programming and
the development of course se-
quences."
He felt that the opportunity for
expanding and developing a pro-
gram for professional music study
lay in the area of a college rather
than a conservatory.
"I had a pious hope of progress,"
Dean Moore notes, "yet we had to
take events into consideration. We
moved slowly but tried to move in
the direction of constructive lead-
ership, making music a vocation
and an avocation."
Plans Retirement
Dean Moore, who will be 65 in
September, feels that his "term of
service is nearing its end," since he
has to retire when he is 70.
"Regardless of who is Dean,
when I retire, that person must
be alert and sensitive to the needs
of the next generation as well as
to the demands of immediate stu-
dents," Dean Moore comments.
"What will be the relationship
of music in society five to 10 years
hence?" Dean Moore wonders. "We
must develop composers to express
the spirit of the next decades. New
demands such as radio and tele-
vision set up requirements for cre-
ative musicians that differ from
symphony performances. We must
be aware of these things."
"We at the music school are
fortunate to have received fine
support from the University ad-
ministration, the students and the
UJA Funds
To Intensify
Overseas Aid
"The United Jewish Appeal
Fund Drive being sponsored in
Ann Arbor by the Hillel Founda-
tion must contribute $3,000 toward
the national goal o $100 million."
Elaine Diamonson, '56, co-chair-
man of the drive explained that
money contributed in the fund
drive will intensify welfare work
in North Africa and the Moslem
countries. Child-care and health
services are major responsibilities
of the United Jewish Appeal in
addition to other aids to oppressed
and dependent Jewish men, wom-
en and children.
Barry Stulberg, '56, campaign
co-chairman of the local drive
called for the "warm-hearted sup-
port" of the local fund drive. He
added donations may be contrib-
uted to fund drive workers or to
the Hillel Foundation.

Studies Fair
Trade Acts
A government-sponsored com-
mittee co-chairmaned by Prof. S.
Chesterfield Oppenheim of the
Law School recently advocated re-
peal of "fair trade" laws designed
to prevent cut-rate retail sales of
nationally advertised products.
The committee, set up in August
of 1953 to study and evaluate the
anti-trust laws, gave its recom-
mendations in a 400 page report.
If the proposal mentioned were
adopted, the way would be open
for discount houses to spring up
everywhere. Any prices except
"predatory price-cutting" could be
charged by merchants, regardless
of prices manufacturers wanted to
impose.
Strengthens Anti-Trust Laws
The study committee also called
for legislative curbs on labor un-
ion activities that are aimed at
market control and may restrict
trade and competition.
Prof. Oppenheim, co-chairman
of the committee with Stanley N.
Banks, assistant attorney general,
said, "The report as a whole moves
significantly in the direction of
strengthening the anti-trust laws."
Leafing through a 35 page sum-
mary of the voluminous report, he
continued, "One outstanding fea-
ture of this is the committee's
unanimous affirmation of the ba-
sic principles of the current anti-
trust policy.
The report was transmitted to
Herbert A. Brownell, Jr., attorney
general on March 31, after 19
months of preparation at which
time it was made public.
Recommendations Unanimous
Oppenheim concluded his com-
ments on the report with an ob-
servation concerning the high de-
gree of agreement reached by the
members of the committee. "Al-
though the committee was com-
posed of 60 members with differ-
ent backgrounds of thinking, the
conclusions and recommendations
commanded virtual unanimity.
Most of the dissents represented
differences in degree and empha-
sis, and dealt with specific mat-
ters rather than basic conceptions.
"There is only one general dis-
sent in which a few members con-
curred."

... "a pious hope of progress"
faculty. What has been accom-
plished is a result of teamwork,"
Dean Moore notes.
The uppermost thing in Dean
Moore's "Five-Year Plan" is a mu-
sic school on the North Campus.
"We can do a better job for our
students if and when North Cam-
pus facilities are available."
"Member of Associations
As a member of three musical
associations, Dean Moore has had
a close connection with music
throughout the nation. He was
president of the Music Teachers
National Association from 1936 to
1938, president of the National
Association of Schools of Music
in 1931 and 1935 and is now its
chairman of the Commission on
Curricula.
Dean Moore has been married to
the former Blanche W. Anderson
of Muskegon since 1914. They have
three children, E. Vincent, Stan-
ley Anderson and Mary.
The two boys and their families
are on the West coast. Vincent Is a
Professor of Urology at U.C.L.A.
Medical School and Stanley is a
Radiologist with the San Diego
Clinic. Mary is married and lives
near Chicago.
In his early days at the Univer-
sity, Dean Moore composed organ,
choral, orchestral and children's
music. "I have had no time to com-
pose since administrative work
has kept me busy."
"The creative artist cannot
have a daily administrative rou-
tine. Composing is one thing,
along with organ recitals, that I
had to give up. Those are regrets,
but the privilege of working with
the faculty and the music pro-
gram has compensated for these
personal regrets," Dean Moore
commented.
Has Photography Hobby
He has always had photography
as a hobby. First it was lantern
slides, then his interest changed
to miniature films. "With a fam-
ily, I combined personal pictures
and travels. I even have a collec-

tion of the music buildings at var-
ious Universities which I've visit-
ed."
If conditions are right, Dean
Moore and his wife may go to
Europe after he retires. He hasn't
been there since 1935.
He may take up golf again be-
cause "the sound of the 3-par hole
intrigues me again." Or he may
visit his sons on the West coast
and see his six grandchildren.
No matter what the future holds,
for the next five years at least
Dean Moore will be in his office at
the music school on Maynard
Street.
And behind his desk will hang
the framed scroll which reads: "In
recognition of 30 years of distin-
guished service to the University
of Michigan and to music in Am-
erica, this greeting is inscribed to
Earl V. Moore by the undersigned
as a token of their esteem."
The signatures are those of
former music school students who
are now Deans or Directors at Uni-
versities throughout the country.
