The 2007-08 school year marks an important milestone for Murphy Hall — its 50th anniversary.
Murphy Hall is like a second home for many students. For music majors, it is the location of most basic music classes. With a music and dance library and Hawk Food Stop, students can get anything they need at Murphy Hall.
"It's a community," said Rachel Williams, Conway, Ark., junior. "You really get to know the people you work with."
For the first years of their existence, the music and art programs were moved from building to building without a permanent home. Department chairmen struggled to gain support from the University of Kansas for a fine arts building. Planning funds were finally appropriated in 1953.
In 1957, the original V-shaped building, then dubbed the Music and Dramatic Arts Building, was completed and dedicated. The building acquired the name Murphy Hall three years later when Chancellor Franklin Murphy left the University
to become the new chancellor of the University of California, Los Angeles.
Shannon Griswold, Shawnee senior, sculpts Seale-hun Choi, Seoul, Korea senior, in their interactive Theater class in Murphy Hall yesterday afternoon. They performed a technique called remote control sculpture as Griswold shaped Choi into a scene as a rock star.
As the size of the University of Kansas multiplied over the years, so did the number of students attending classes in Murphy Hall. With an estimated 1,500 students enrolled in fine arts programs by the 1990s and only two rehearsal rooms, Murphy Hall was in need of additional facilities. After applying for aid from the University again, the new addition to Murphy Hall was completed in 2000 and dedicated in February 2001. The departments of music education and music theory were moved to Murphy Hall from Bailey Hall.
What does the future hold for Murphy Hall?
"Wed like to renovate Swarthout Recital Hall," said Steven Hedden, dean of fine arts. "We don't have the funds yet, but with about 300 performances a year, the chairs get worn out and the lights need to be replaced."
Many performances in Murphy Hall this year have been dedicated to the building's 50th anniversary celebration. During the fall semester, faculty artist concerts, a musical theatre symposium, and University
Theatre performances of "The Music Man" were among the scheduled events.
There are several more celebration events during the spring semester.
The Double Reed Festival on Feb. 9 and 10 will involve two master classes and an evening recital from two KU alumni. Faculty recitals, KU Opera, Choirs, Jazz Ensemble, Symphony Orchestra and Wind
Ensemble will perform throughout
March and April. $ \textcircled{*} $
Additionally, Elizabeth Sherbon Centennial activities are scheduled for April. Sherbon, who was born in 1908, was a dancer who taught for several years at the University until her retirement in 1975. Her death in 2000 was a great loss to the dance community.
