 | | Though Dean Merrill oversaw the remodeling of the school's resident music building, Mitchell Hall, enough problems remained (noise carried from performance rooms to classrooms, the building was too hot in the summer, and noise from barking dogs outside the building was unbearable) that a new building became a necessity. |
 | | Wilfred Bain came to IU with impressive credentials; as head of the music department at North Texas, he had expanded faculty, increased enrollment, and added three choirs, a symphony orchestra, concert band, string sinfonietta, and a harp ensemble. |
 | | One of his goals was to ensure that music students received a comprehensive, well-rounded education that included a broad base of knowledge of traditional liberal studies (arts, sciences, humanities) and trained students to think critically. |
