    2001 Future of the Arts Report 1 The Future of the Arts at the University of Chicago August 2001 Table of Contents Introduction Page 2 Study Recommendations Page 4 Role of the Arts Page 5 The Arts Curriculum Page 7 Student Arts Page 9 Professional Arts Organizations Page 11 Arts in the City Page 13 Organization and Process Recommendations Page 15 Facilities Needs and Objectives Page 17 Facilities Recommendations Page 23 Conclusion Page 29 Appendices Page 30 Introduction Introduction Experiencing the creative arts is a fundamental part of knowing ourselves as humans and of understanding those different from ourselves. Whether painting or poetry, film or theater, music or dance, artistic creation addresses the deepest questions of the human condition. A great research university should nurture the unique and powerful role of the arts in the education of the whole person. University President Ernest DeWitt Burton recognized this when he wrote in 1925: “We need to supplement science and the scientific study of all branches of knowledge with the finer arts of music and painting, of sculpture and architecture. We owe it to our students, to whom it is our ambition to give the best possible education. We owe it to our professors, that they not become dry-as- dust investigators and lecturers but symmetrically developed and cultivated personalities. We owe it to our community.” Today, more students, faculty, staff, and general audiences engage with the arts on our campus than ever before. This increased participation has been paralleled by growth in the quality and diversity of our arts programs and activities.

  • L'armée De L'air (1918-1940)
    1 L’Armée de l’Air (1918-1940) Souvenez-vous que vous n’avez pas été vaincus. Joseph Vuillemin di Emilio Bonaiti Gli anni Venti - Le operazioni in Marocco - Il pensiero militare - La pubblicistica - Il materiale - Gli anni Trenta - La guerra - La débacle. L’aeronautica francese iniziò il primo conflitto mondiale con 24 squadriglie e 150 aerei. Lo terminò con 320 squadriglie e 3.430 velivoli. Dalla guerra, che con l’incapacità dei comandi di risolvere il problema tattico del superamento di una trincea protetta da filo spinato e difesa dalla mitragliatrice, aveva rappresentato il fallimento dell’arte militare, si trasse un’importante lezione: le operazioni, con l’affermarsi dell’aeronautica, non erano più ristrette al campo di battaglia e alle retrovie, ma si allargavano alle metropoli, ai piccoli centri, alle strutture industriali, alle reti stradali e ferroviarie. La nuova Arma, che avrebbe rivoluzionato il XX secolo, era passata dall’aggiustamento del tiro d’artiglieria alla battaglia per la conquista dello spazio aereo. Fu il generale Duval, capo del Service Aéronautique aux Armées dall’agosto 1917, a creare la Division aérienne che, composta da circa 600 aerei, intervenne nel corso dell’ultima offensiva tedesca. Duval aveva concepito e attuato la dottrina dell’impiego in massa dell’aviazione con squadriglie di caccia e da 1 2 bombardamento che, operando sulle immediate retrovie, avevano bloccato dall’alto l’afflusso di truppe e rifornimenti sul campo di battaglia. Scriveva: “La victoire aérienne doit précéder la victoire terrestre dont elle est l’un des éléments et le gage”. Il generale si era opposto all’auspicata creazione di una forza aerea autonoma interalleata da bombardamento insistentemente richiesta dagli Inglesi, riassumendo il suo pensiero nella celebre frase: “A che serve bombardare Colonia se Parigi cade?”.

Because that's what half of America is writing about. Take a hint from Emory University, whose “Why Us?” prompt used to read: Many students decide to apply to Emory University based on our size, location, reputation, and yes, the weather. Besides these valid reasons as a possible college choice, why is Emory University a particularly good match for you? Why do you think the school says not to write about those things? Because their admissions readers are tired of reading about those things. In fact, here's what to do after you've written your first draft: go back through your essay and underline anything that sounds like it could have appeared in another student's essay.
