Full story
The School of Fine Arts moved
from its downtown Locust
Street location to what
had been the British Pavilion
in the 1904 World's Fair.
In 1927, the school moved
to its current location
in Bixby Hall (above). A
bachelor's degree in fine
art was first offered in
1941, nearly 66 years after
the school opened. Seven
degrees are offered by what
is now known as the School
of Art, from ceramics --
which these students from
the 1950s are studying --
to photography.
Washington
University will be celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2003-04.
