Established at Southern Methodist University’s founding, the School of Music provided education in vocal and instrumental music and produced regular performances through the Glee and Choral clubs and the Oratorio Society. In 1964 the School was reorganized and expanded; coursework in theatre and the arts was added, and the School was renamed as the School of the Arts. The School changed names again in 1969 to the Meadows School of the Arts in honor of Texas oilman and philanthropist Algur H. Meadows. Materials in this collection include programs, pamphlets, brochures, letters, news releases, newspaper clippings, correspondence, photographs, and negatives. The collection is a combination of three separate collections that were merged chronologically.
