Chapter XIX. THE LIBERATING ARTS

   The inauguration of President Millett was featured in the Miami Alumnus, November 1953. A preliminary report on the Common Curriculum was presented in "Plan for a Common Curriculum at Miami University" by a University committee, 1955. The Common Curriculum at Miami University, published in the Miami University Bulletin Series, June 1963, described the aims and scope of the program and concluded with a discussion of General Education by President Millett. In his wide-ranging The Liberating Arts (Cleveland, 1957), John D. Millett discussed the dual needs of the undergraduate: to grasp the intellectual heritage of Western civilization while seeking preparation for a professional career. Wallace P. Roudebush (1890-1956) is the subject of ten pages of memorial in the Miami Alumnus, May 1956. The newly opened University Center was described in the Miami Alumnus, September 1957 and November 1957.
