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. committee 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." l\. ,F' 9" 1 " \ v ,v o-,_. .{ ;;,, a:: , 'i b f. \ ' '' . i C h ,...' < I } l tea. t .4 ' d N --Daily-Sam Ching DEAN EARL V. MOORE ... "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- AOUA LUNGS Swim Fins, Masks, Underwater cameras and cases. At the WHITE'S Skindiver Supply 7970 "G" Street Dexter, Mich.

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.
